The transfer fee doesn't count towards the salary cap.

This year we have got rid of Gleeson and Reardon and brought in Carney and Mathers who I assume will not be on anywhere close to the players we've lost.

Also rumoured to be going at the end of the season are Rauhihi and Johnson who will be on decent money.

Still don't let things like this get in the way of your bitter and twisted moaning.

£300k for a support player olol

Well you dont say. ,Moron. I would never have guessed.

Erm.. support to who? Not bad if England interntional wants to be a support player, i'd be worried!

Shhhh....

Here's a thought for you - maybe the figures in that article are wrong - it has been known.

Also, just because it is alleged that a player has turned down a record offer from their club does not mean the offer from another club is higher - sometimes people move to further their careers rather than line their pockets - a bit like Fielden and Gleeson did........

for all those people talking about briers wage been off cap.

its 50%[size=17(iirc)[/size of his (and anyone else been at the club for 10+ years) wage, only up to £50k though. and that £50 is for the full squad, not per player

so why are you assuming that because we are paying 300k he must put us over the cap

dont know about you lot but 300k must be a load of bull poo? and i have not got a clue what his wage will be but im pretty sure its not going to be close to 300k a year

Breaking the salary cap??....I really can't see it happening anymore, at any club.

I mean, how long as the salary cap been going now??....10 years or so??....If anybody did break it now, I think being kicked out of the league should be a minimum, purely on the basis that the club can't be organised well enough to do its own sums properly.

In the opening years of the cap, I could understand the odd error, as clubs got used to it....I could just about accept a club cheating in order to stay in the league...(well, somebody was bound to try it!!)....However, right now, I'd like to think that clubs are professional and responsible enough to know they have a limit to stick to, and I firmly believe ALL clubs do....Just look at the Challenge Cup finalists and the most open league in years for proof....

You can not break a live salary cap.

Last Tackle are a bit late aren't they? They'll be breaking the news of Reardon getting binned next week. Joke website, joke story.

We pay these guys what we like cos we can. We spunk fortunes on transfer fees cos we can. Bothered. If it brings a trophy or two, great. If not, who cares - we're living the opulent high life and we don't care. AND we're off to Wembley.

Life is beautiful.

Finally, someone who speaks some sense!

not really, you can still break the cap. its just much harder

my grandads mate works for warrington wolves and apparently only half of briers salary is declared on the cap due to his 10 year service within the club; also youth players also only need to have a lower percentage of salary declared to encourage youth progression in the super league

some of the players in the club are paid less on a contract than originally estimated, but bonuses do not go on the salary cap so are paid by the club at the end of the season and is a tactic warrington have used since simon moran found the hole in the rfl rules. Matt king was originally estimated to be earning 300,000 a year but is actually around a third of this but the club put 200,000 of bonuses to him during the off-season which do not declare under the salary cap; saint helens have been using this for a number of years

how much rubbish can one man post

*speechless* *on a number of levels*

FFS 300K is the transfer fee. Are people really this stupid.

in what ways are u speechless lol

and by the way it aint rubbish, u onli dont believe coz u aint heard it before

and i gonna get bollocked off my grandad if he finds out i wrote this lol

Mike Carlton is.

its ok your grandad clearly doesnt know what he's on about, just check he's still breathing and pop a werthers original in.



two hundred grand in bonuses......fook me its not British gas......

On the Briers thing.

If Briers is on £100K or more only an allowance of £50K is made against the cap.

So,
If he is on £120K then only £70K is counted against the cap.

If however he is on less than £100K then 50% is deductable against the cap.
So if he is on £80K then only £40K is counted against the cap.

Only one player per club is allowed, and they must have served 10 years at the club.

everyone is speechless because of the total boll*cks that just came out of your mouth


i think your grandad is more likely to be on the floor laughing at you

your allowed more then one player, its just the totally money of the cap can only be £50k

Your funny.
