Message: [QUOTE="Porthoz, post: 3001288, member: 2221"] Why not include their sexual habits as well? If a player doesn't **** his wife/gf often enough, he's probably fucking some piece on the side, that he might be maintaining with the brown paper bag he gets on a weekly/monthly base from his club... Let's fucking get real, as much as they are public figures, players also deserve the right to privacy! The main reason for a salary cap is to artificially maintain a close competition and give the opportunity to every club in the comp to actually have a fair chance to win it. No matter what people feel about the cap's pros and cons, that works, as it does in any competition in the world where a cap is used. On the other hand, no cap guarantees a competition dominated by a handfull of clubs, as the biggest sport in the world proves in every single club competition, be it national, continental or international. As Broncos fans, we would certainly not regret it, because we would undoubtedly be part of said handfull of dominant clubs. But would the NRL survive in such a small market as the Australian, if most clubs without resources would essentially be aspiring to nothing more than a spot in the bottom part of the top 8? I don't know whether a Draft would work without a cap either, and there are valid arguments for both sides of the argument. I tend to think that if your goal is to be a player in the NRL, chances are you will not be able to stay in your comfort zone, especially if you hail from Victoria, New Zealand or ACT, not to speak of other Australian states or countries, so a Draft would only be a discomfort for Qld'ers and especially NSW'kers, with their 9 NRL clubs in a relatively small area. Of course, you could argue that forcing more than half of the rookies to live in Sydney and suburbs, is cruel and unusual punishment, possibly in contravention of the UN Human Rights Charter.
