Message: [QUOTE="something, post: 3001203, member: 8835"] I think the salary cap is stupid. I agree with lockys illegitimate child in the "if she dies, she dies" mentality. However, I do think it's important to keep 16 teams in the competition. What about implementing a 'success-quota' and a 'league-tax', the high performing teams getting taxed X amount to cover the lesser performing teams - and the lesser performing teams have to reach their success quotas to stay in the league. Then implement a three strikes and you're out policy for the lower teams. This way the rich can stay rich and the poor still has a leg up, without allowing them to become complacent. Example - the year is 2022, Broncos have $15M to play with, future immortal Anthony Milford puts in a last minute grubber to Jimmy the Jet in the final play of the game against the Cowboys - it's heaps sicker than 2015 & they win their 3rd premiership in a row. .. The fan base is stoked and all of a sudden they have $22M. 5%, or 1.1M of that could be taxed and given to the Tigers, who havent been doing too well financially - or on the scoreboard - the past 2 years. Unfortunately, the following year they under perform again and are scrapped from the League. This gives way to Ipswich Jets. The next year Broncos have their 20.9M, but have recruited badly and it's Parramatta who win the premiership, (remember this is a hypothetical lol), now let's say Parra have 19M - 5% (950K) of that can go to the Jets. This is simplified version, money would be more evenly spread amongst the under performing teams rather than 100% of 1st going to 16th. I know it's kind of weird, but it's effectively just using the same concepts as our current taxation system and applying it to only 16 teams in a Robin Hood manner. [/QUOTE]
