Rumours

[Banksy]

Are you of your head, 12 point deduction HOW we are offloading DV and Fletcher two players with two big pay packets and who have we got coming in so for Coley. “Noble crap”, get a grip we owe this guy alot, we would be playing in NL1 if it wasn't for him and he tries his hardest through point deductions and the players playing awful.

Does anyone know how the salary cap will be administered next year? Thought it was a kind of rolling programme with finances being watched on a monthly basis but don't know really how it will work.

It says on the official Bulls' Website that he started for them! Perhaps he has a double (or you need to visit the opticians). :doz:

Sorry, didn't see the person in question. I only stick to the fact that Newton played for the Bulls at the same time as our match - hence it could not have been Terry Newton.

All clubs can pay up to the cap limit next season so in theory all clubs monthly wage bills will be the same (if they are paying up to the cap limit).

So it should be a relatively simple matter to see if a clubs monthly wage bill exceeds the expected monthly figure.

If a club comes in with a lower wage bill than expected for any month then the average wage bill they can have will be greater for the coming months as they will not have spent all they could on wages.

So if a club wants to pay end of season bonuses by paying less during the season they will be able to if they do this.

This interesting question arises if a club has a very low monthly wage bill throughout the season and then at the very end pay out a huge amount that takes them over the cap. The season will be over so the RFL won't have been able to impose any penalties during the season - which is the whole point of running the cap "live".

I'd also like to know what the RFL propose to do if a club is in breach of the live cap during a season. If they exceed payments one months what happens if they come well under the next month so averaging the right amount over the two months? Will they get any points deduction back or will the club be told paying out less money in a subsequent month is "not in the spirit of the game"?
