Message: [QUOTE="Mister Wright, post: 2290630, member: 2160"] I totally agree. The "Independent Commission" should do something similar to what cricket does. They should select the top 30 or even 35 players who are paid entirely by the "I.C." and are exempt from any salary cap. The players then get to choose what club they play for. Contracts could be only one year or maybe two years. For example, lets say Lockyer, Falou, Hodges & Thaiday are all part of the elite list, they could get anywhere from $1m or $750G each. That would then allow 25 other players to form part of the salary cap that Brisbane pay for out of their own pocket. Clubs are then not disadvantaged by having a bulk of their salary cap away for games during representative fixtures and the elite players are paid what they are worth. Of course this is not a perfect system and does have flaws, but it allows for more depth, and rewards our great players. It could be argued that a club could have up to 5 or 6 players on that list that want to play with one club, so you could limit it to 2 or 3 players at one club or something else, it is a part of my plan I haven't really thought through. Perhaps something like a 'marquee' non representative player is allowed at clubs that do not have anyone on the elite contract list. [/QUOTE]
