Jarrad Weeks gets paid by the size of his shorts, so he is also on marquee money

Goulding gets paid on a per flop basis so is clearly on marquee money

Melbourne United however:

Goulding $350k+
Holt, Warrick, Blanchfield, Kickert approx. $200k each
plus five other players to add in there...

Goulding's actually only on $80k or so.

Holt and Warrick are $120k each.

Melbourne managed to get Blanchfield for $70k, which was still double Townsville's offer.

Kickert had a frontloaded deal and is only on $40k this season.

Hadziomerovic, Patton and Hill are on $30k each.

Tomlinson's making $50k. They had to spend big on Majok to get him away from Europe, so he's on $270k.

That's still only $840k, by my math, which leaves them well under the cap.

snooch where are you getting that info re. Cairns? They always have a 'spend-to-the-cap' fundraiser to try and get extra funds from the fans so they can actually pay the salary cap, before they even need to contemplate spending over it.

The paying of funds from the top spending teams to those below the cap on a proportional basis sounds as though it has merit.

Wouldn't be a fan of it in the current climate though..otherwise for example this year a team like TVL will just hinge/bank on underspending to get more cash. It doesn't address the underying issues as to why the franchise isn't acheiving profitability..delaying the inevitable if teams decide to underspend one year.

But certainly under the right circumstances it has merit.

The fact that they're not named publicly doesn't mean the league isn't informed. I mean, player salaries aren't made public at all, but there's still a salary cap.

The marquee player system already has a luxury tax in place.

Blanchfield wouldn't have left Townsville for cheap and Goulding and Barlow would be expensive coming back from Europe

Depends how much Townsville could've paid Blanchfield. It might not necessarily take much to be able to spend more on him than the Crocs could.

Barlow isn't even on the roster, so they don't have to fit him under the cap, but even so he's pretty much on his last legs, and I'm pretty sure he doesn't have a European passport. So whether he could get a decent-paying gig as an import over there is questionable.

Was there not a proposition where players with Asian passports are outside of salary cap also, would that then mean both Warwick AND Holt are being paid outside of the cap?

I never really get into the whole salary cap debacle and who's cheating it - generally you can always point out reasons why the guys who people think are being paid mega bucks aren't (wants to win, back-end of career so market worth is low, wants more playing time).

Melbourne is a peculiar one for mind though.

Goulding, Warrick, Blanchfield, Holt, Kickert, Barlow would have asked for big coin.

Only explanation is that the bench guys like Iggy, Tomlinson, Hill, Patton are getting paid absolutely peanuts and for all but one of those guys it probably sounds about right.

NZ aren't over the cap, if they were they would have kept Rhys Carter and Ibekwe.
