They are rumored to have about 1 Million third party sponsors in line to bye players. I think there is some salary cap issues in regards to that, so they cannot officially use it all. But the fact they have so many corporates for support in Melbourne. They will always have an advantage over basically all clubs with the exeption of Brisbane. As long as their third party sponsors are not official club sponsors they have an extra two or three internationals up their sleeves to most Sydney clubs.Is it true that Melbourne receive certain percentage which gets exempt from the salary cap? This being because they are in Melbourne. I think this is what the roosters were complaining about a few years back that they also should get an exemption because the cost of living in the Bondi area is higher to that of Newcastle, Brisbane etc.
