Message: [QUOTE="Porthoz, post: 2516749, member: 2221"] I think the core of the question isn't whether the NRL assigns a minimum value to a player. It is clear they do! The question is how they reach that minimum, and I understand that's what Morkel is trying to say. It's not arbitrary, it's determined by the total contract value sent to the NRL. In other words, the NRL determines the minimum value through assumption of what they believe the player would accept minimally, based on the package on offer. I would suggest they may also look at the previous contract that player had and the circumstances. If a player is leaving one club for another without having an unwanted tag by the former, it stands to reason that the conditions at the new club will be more attractive, and no way would a lower salary offer rhyme with that. This would also explain how Locky's $250K deal was accepted by the NRL, although we don't know what the total value of the package was... [/QUOTE]
