How do you spread the money in a fair and even way in an unlimited salary cap era where the richest clubs set the pace? Sure the NRL could prop up a few clubs but it would defeat the purpose. Let's say you give them $10,000,000 as a base salary cap so they at least have some money to spend. Fantastic, but the top clubs are operating at a $20,000,000 cap. What's this? THe majority of the competition can't compete and those that try are going to put themselves in a hole just to stand a chance. Suddenly all the sponsors are flocking to only a quarter of the competition and the struggling clubs have to offer bad rates just to get any financial stability. I'm not saying it can't ever happen, but the competition isn't ready for it and it remains to be seen when it will be. [/QUOTE]
