Quote ="Faithful One"He'll be there on the marquee ruling. The returning player dispensation allows 50% off the cap of the players salary. £2.6m reported yearly salary would only reduce it to £1.3m, still a huge chunk of the cap. Marquee ruling allows his cap wage to be reduced to £150,000 a year.'"
My apologies, you're absolutely right - the rules talk about "salary cap value", which in his case is 50% of his salary. If that is more than £175k, he's classed as a marquee player and his salary cap value is reduced to £150k.
Odd that a player on £170k has a cap value of £170k.
