Yeah, we did but we spelt his last name incorrectly on the contract...Have we sugned him yet??
Oh well, back to square one I guess.

Let me get this right, you think the Salary Cap for 2023 will be $11m for the Top 30 + $650k for the Next 10 = $11.65m?It will probably work out something like:
* 2023: $11.0 Mil (min: $150k)
* 2024: $11.4 Mil (min: $155k)
* 2025: $11.8 Mil (min: $160k)
* 2026: $12.2 Mil (min: $165k)
* 2027: $12.6 Mil (min: $170k)
[Average: $11.8 Mil - but, bump up each year by $200k, if their negotiations get up.]
...with the $650k for 31-40 outside the main cap of 30, but car allowances and Dev/Vet allowances inside those main cap figures.
Would be great.Let me get this right...
Um, yeah. Like I specifically stated with "assuming $11mil "cap". (I didn't think that was particularly cryptic or obscure, but there you go.)...you think the Salary Cap for 2023 will be $11m for the Top 30
Nope. That's apples and oranges right there. There is really no need to torture the numbers here.Since the Cap this year is $9.2m (after the 6% Covid reduction) that's a 27% increase.
Year | Base Cap | Dev / Vet | Car | Total "The Cap" | +% over previous |
2022 | $9.7 Mil ($9.188 Mil) | $200k ($188k) | $100k ($94k) | $10.0 Mil ($9.4 Mil) | |

The RLPA demands are well known and the NRL has been trying to get them to back down from their stance for almost 6 months. To get to a resolution the RLPA has stepped up it's media campaign, daily media releases, start a break away competition, Harry Grant, Daly Cherry-Evans and Kezie Apps speaking out,Would be great.

I have been explicit (and I thought, clear) with what is considered "The Cap". Let me spell it out.
The $650k for 31-40 (if it is accepted) is a replacement for the old "second tier" cap (before 2018), which in turn became the Development List (from 2018). This is not part of "The Cap", but Dev/Vet allowance and car allowance are.
Year Base Cap Dev / Vet Car Total "The Cap" +% over previous 2022 $9.7 Mil ($9.188 Mil) $200k ($188k) $100k ($94k) $10.0 Mil ($9.4 Mil) New Agreement 2023 $10.4 Mil $500k $100k $11.0 Mil 10% 2024 $10.8 Mil $500k $100k $11.4 Mil 3.64% 2025 $11.2 Mil $500k $100k $11.8 Mil 3.51% 2026 $11.6 Mil $500k $100k $12.2 Mil 3.39% 2027 $12.0 Mil $500k $100k $12.6 Mil 3.28%
No one knows the actual figures yet (yes, the RLPA has made demands). These are guesses based on the sparse reports of what might be happening. We will find out in due course. Sooner rather than later, hopefully.
It should also make it clear (again, hopefully) why simply chucking 20% onto everyone's salary for 2023 or even 2024 won't actually fly if you want to maintain any kind of roster balance (our constant achilles heal since Des & Co did their stuff).
Yes, so you keep saying. But I am not sure why. They're demands, they've been reported. If that's all that was required then we would be talking about what the actual cap is, because it had been announced.The RLPA demands are well known
Possibly true. There could be a delayed start to the competition. There might be no competition at all, or a breakaway one. We will see.I seriously doubt that RLPA is backing down anytime soon.
He was excellent in 2020, Fam. After a season or two at the chooks he’ll command upwards of 700k. Boom!
Game on!If that were true, then why would I state the assumption: $11mil "cap"
Source? That's conjecture (which is fine, but if you shout more it will make it a fact).
It might turn out to be the case, but depending on how the CBA turns out, using $11Mil seems reasonable as a ballpark. If so, happy to adjust figures based on cap reality (when they finally announce it).
Yep. More than happy for you to make that argument. I disagree. I don't think he's an Elite Centre. Not in the top 5 Centres. Probably 6-8.
Probably why they're baulking on the re-sign.
Way ahead of you - see above.
If Gus & Ciraldo want Crichton on Elite Centre money, to possibly play fullback, then that's their call. I don't think he's either, but I ain't signing the cheques and ain't the expert anyways.
But if we decide to overstack some positions (Centre), it is going to mean less for (arguably more important) spine positions, like Fullback, Halfback, and Lock. Will they not also need +20% upgrades? After all, "The players know this, their agents know this and there is no escaping from it."
The Dogs have had a tendency to do that in the past (neglect the spine), and it ain't always worked out that well.
It didn't disapoint did itGame on!
It's about to have a pot of gold at the end of itHave we sugned him yet??
Guy has a fkukey lucky rainbow shining out his arse.
Match winner.
Didn't know what you were talking about till I had a look through.@Tassie Devil what are your thoughts on a salary cap debate thread? A subsidiary to fight club of course......
Totally agree mate.Didn't know what you were talking about till I had a look through.
It's kicking off all over the place here these days, isn't it?
People should start respecting TKFC tbh as if more were taking out their frustrations there there'd be less rubbish elsewhere.
My thoughts on the salary cap debate thread? I'm all for it ....
It is the point of TKFC in all honesty.Totally agree mate.
Mitchell is about to announce an extension with bunnies and is quoted saying lock me up for life at the bunnies. No.Left of centre thought here.... BUT ... is it possible we are sending the medias attention to us looking at Crichton, when we've actually approached and made Latrell Mitchell an offer instead?
He's best mates with JAC (who could really sell this club to him), and can play across the entire backline anywhere we need help.
If we landed Mitchell and Moses (gee that sounds funny putting it like that), we'd have a seriously dangerous team.
Yeah I'd assume he'd be a Bunny for life, as they have looked after him at the club, but they also have Cook, Burgess, Knight and Walker off contract as well. They released basically nobody and signed pretty much nobody, so salary cap might get pinched a bit.Mitchell is about to announce an extension with bunnies and is quoted saying lock me up for life at the bunnies. No.
If he were to join the dogs whether he sets the world on fire or just gets the job done seeing Penrith fans squeal is music to my ears.On panthers page they are freaking out now allen has been released
Meant to be announced latrell, cook, walker extend before Christmas.Yeah I'd assume he'd be a Bunny for life, as they have looked after him at the club, but they also have Cook, Burgess, Knight and Walker off contract as well.
