NRL clubs have agreed to a salary cap of $9.4 million next year, in signing off on a pay offer that will on Monday be put to the game's players.
Clubs have been split down the middle about next year's cap figure, with as many as nine saying that it should not be lifted above the $9.2 million as indicated back in April
Others, including Canterbury, had pushed for it to go as high as $9.6 million.
They voted, they agreed unanimously at a two hour meeting at League Central on what effectively amounts to a $9.4 million cap. That includes a flat cap of $9.2 million, plus a $200,000 portion of the veterans and development player's allowance, which can be spent at the club's discretion.
The Bulldogs are the club under the most salary cap stress for 2018, but chairman Ray Dib emerged from the meeting saying he was happy with the deal.
"It's a good outcome for everyone, we are all going to settle on $9.4. We are very happy with it actually, it's close to what we wanted." He said
