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.

Cheers mate I'll bookmark that for no future reference just like all your bookmarks from last week.

This could be the thread of the week

Highest paid player in Salfords history doesn't necessiarily mean he was offered mega bucks. I don't imagine Salford have ever operated at full salary cap, so he could have been offered £100k,which may be higher than any Salford player is on, but it would just put him in line with some of our players and below others.

No but off shore payments can be made...Just ask the Inland Revenue!!!!!

Is Kris Radlinski's wofe still on 150k a year?

whats a wofe?

A bit like a wife, but with an accidental o instead of an I.

i prefer a bit of o than a bit of i.
