Message: [QUOTE="Big Pete, post: 3380755, member: 1899"] Not necessarily, because the proposal weights two factors you see. Total amount of games and a surplus of bought vs. blooded players. So since Wests have been chasing their tail for so long they've had to sign a bunch of experienced heads and a few 'moneyball' signings so this attempt at benefitting from the system isn't quite saving them the money they thought they would, especially since their coming stone motherless last so the pressure to make additional is high. Meanwhile the top teams have already adjusted, they're prioritising those prospects more, taking the best U/18s and U/21s who have yet to debut while holding onto the players that happened to come through their system. The flipside of this is that NRL careers are ending at 25, since clubs don't want a piece of those 150 game good club players anymore because it messes with their 'purity' score. It would need some serious modifications, that's one way of fixing it. Clubs to an extent already do this with 'hey sign this contract and we'll give you a game' the issue is that clubs are being forced to offer massive overs just to keep these players. Also as per the suggestion it's 50,000 per metric. The article didn't go onto say what influence blooded/total games would have, just the surplus of the roster. [/QUOTE]
