Message: [QUOTE="Thelmus, post: 2899552, member: 8988"] Im not convinced there is anything close to picking up all the shananigans that go on with the salary cap. Best you can hope for is that the bottom feeder clubs occasionally get a shot once in a while. The broncos have huge advantages that go way beyond the salary cap anyway. They are professionally run and one of the most solvent of all, in the richest league club. They have a tradition of not just getting the best out of footballer, but leaving them better players, even when they leave the club. Players who crack it in first grade, usually go onto higher honours. They have access to the best coach in the country, with a proven track record. Then there is the fact they have access almost without competition to the fans of a whole capital city and with it, the juniors that play in it. At best they might have to compete with the better run clubs like the storm. But, serously, if two clubs look on par with their offers, but one is in your home city, which one would you choose. Canberra has that to a point, but with a much smaller market, as does the likes of the cowboys and warriors. They are things no salary cap can cover nor should they. As for 3rd party agreements, however they structure it, the bigger clubs with bigger fan bases will have the advantage. [/QUOTE]
