Message: [QUOTE="Kimlo, post: 2506039, member: 2021"] Hopefully it happens, should more or less mean we can afford the best player in the game every year. FWIW I think it's a stupid idea, just raise the cap, what's the point of a marquee allowance? For arguments sake lets say the MA is 1.5M then every club will have to pay their Marquee players 1.5M otherwise that's cap space wasted which a club like the Storm could use in full to pay Cam Smith his 1.5M and have a full 6.3m left where as a player like J Graham is not even close to being 1.5M, or anyone at the Bulldogs (besides Barba if there was that cap allowance) so any club without an absolute star to spend that salary cap space on is at a disadvantage because they don't really get 1.5m of player value with the MA. Once again - stupid idea if it's for such a high figure. Maybe make it 750k which is exempt from the cap so all clubs can actually utilise the value of the MA without being at a disadvantage and overpaying a player for the sake of it and then raise the overall cap in addition to that. That way the clubs best player can be paid up to 750k more without counting to the normal cap. I still raise the question, what does the MA provide that a normal cap rise wouldn't? Does it simply allow to pay the best players more money without inflating the general market? If so not more than 750k, there isn't 16 players worth 1.5m, not even 10 IMO. [/QUOTE]
