Does the salary cap still fit? NRL taskforce to launch review
@Source: brisbanetimes.com.au
While it has been argued the salary cap does not allow any team to stay at the top or bottom for too long, recent history suggests otherwise. Penrith have contested the past five grand finals, winning four of them, and are one of only three teams to taste premiership success – the others are Melbourne and the Sydney Roosters – in the past eight years.
There has been little movement at the bottom of the ladder as well: Wests Tigers are this year attempting to avoid their fourth straight wooden spoon.
“What we’ll do is commit to a review and put a team together from all parts of the game – the RLPA [Rugby League Players’ Association], the agents, the coaches and a few others – to have a look at the whole salary cap situation,” ARL Commission chairman Peter V’landys said.
“It hasn’t had a proper review for a long time.
“It’s not my idea; it came from a club CEO. He said it was time for it to be looked at, and I agree with him. Andrew [NRL chief executive Andrew Abdo] and I have been talking about it, so once the commission signs off on it, we will implement it.
