Message: [QUOTE="Allo, post: 3388034, member: 8190"] That’s a version similar to how the NRLW was run until this coming season. Each player was valued depending on representative caps from the previous few years and there was a cap of x-points for the whole squad. There’s merit to the idea, so far as talent dispersion and giving fringe players and rookies a decent shot at playing, and stops clubs picking up premium players that are ‘unnecessary’ just because they can afford/underpay them. But it has flaws at the same time in that a rookie can come from the clouds and become a marquee level player in a season and the club are forced to lose players to come under the points cap the next season, as opposed to having extra time with multi year deals at a set, sometimes sliding, but still known, value. But overall with your idea, all you’re doing is removing the money limit and putting a subjective (to the criteria) value on how good that player is in that particular season. You’ll have some players potentially moving clubs every season because their value could change drastically and the clubs can’t hold on to them. It also kills any value in developing players if they are forced out not even by being outbid, but by arbitrary values that change year on year I know you’re talking about weekly teams and not squads, but it’s the same problem, just on a weekly basis. It’ll keep players that deserve to play, if not start, off the field more and more because the coaches can’t make them all fit [/QUOTE]
