Message: [QUOTE="BroncsFan, post: 2910447, member: 9052"] I'm starting to lean towards a national value system whereby players are represented by a points system. I was dead set against this when it was originally thrown about ages ago because there would be perceived bias when comparing one player to another in terms of value... but it would do away with all the issues around player wages, etc. As the notional value system would allow clubs to pay a player whatever they want whilst the roster/playing group would be capped completely independent of player wages. If you wanted to prevent big clubs from hoarding you could set a soft cap (provided by NRL as they currently do) and a hard cap (whereby anything above the soft cap gets taxed heavily against the club and paid to the NRL... alternative revenue streams anyone). The potential negatives would be an ability to hoard young players whose notional value might be quite low but those teams could be hit hard with taxes for exceeding the soft cap as they still need to field a team that can compete. Also as a player develops their notional value could explode and leave them suddenly approaching their notional value cap and having to shed players, but this should be happening under a normal cap anyway. Determining the notional value of a player would be subjective, but hell super coach and fantasy football leagues already do it so it can't be that bloody hard. [/QUOTE]
