Something awry with NRL's salary cap compensation
The NRL is contemplating giving greater salary cap compensation for players stood down while facing serious criminal charges than they give for players injured while representing their country.
The NRL has offered the Raiders a cut of $350,000 in salary cap compensation for Jordan Rapana, injured while playing for New Zealand, He must miss the opening 12 weeks of the upcoming season and $350,000 is the maximum relief for a $1 million per season player. The Raiders might get $200,000 relief for Rapana. Meanwhile, there are reports the Dragons will get $600,000 in salary cap relief if Jack de Belin's stood down, the full amount of his salary.

Beggars belief
Re: Something awry with NRL's salary cap compensation
I can accept the relief, even if I don't agree with it, but it should be pro-rated and have the same position restrictions.
And they should fix the rep one so the off-season counts as at least some missed time.

Re: Something awry with NRL's salary cap compensation
I agree with giving cap relief to players stood down for misbehaving but the article is spot on. To give 100% credit for a player breaking the law but only 35% for a player injured in rep footy is totally ****-about. Fairly typical of the NRL though.
Maybe we can exploit it. We can EDIT the sign Shaun Johnson with the cash freed up.

It just seams like the NRL is shooting from the hip now with no real plan for the future. The future looks bleak

Re: Something awry with NRL's salary cap compensation
Can someone send this article to Paul Kent, I would but wouldn’t have a clue how to do it , at least he will bring some light to it on NRL 360 with a million people watching
Re: Something awry with NRL's salary cap compensation
I think Players should be stood down on pay while facing these kinds of serious charges.
Why in the world would anyone have a problem with the club being able to go and replace the player?
So the team has to run a player short in their roster, as what, some kind of punishment for having a player charged?
It makes total sense to make the player exempt from the cap during the period they are stood down on pay!

Re: Something awry with NRL's salary cap compensation
Surely they amend the rep relief one at the same time? Still dont agree with the bad behaviour bonus.

Re: Something awry with NRL's salary cap compensation
The spiral of silence refers to the idea that when people fail to speak, the price of speaking rises. As the price to speak rises, still fewer speak out, which further causes the price to rise, so that fewer people yet will speak out, until a whole culture or nation is silenced. This is what happened in Germany.
If you do not speak, you are not being neutral, but are contributing to the success of the thing you refuse to name and condemn.

Yet another example of how bad the nrl are at scenario planning.
Year after year people on this site raise potential issues about an NRL policy and then the Commission are suddenly shocked when X, Y and Z happens and the foreseeable, suddenly becomes reality.
The GH is the Nostradamus of rugby league. Or possibly the one eyed Raiders fan is king in the land of the blind.

However consider for a moment the only way that could happen; the Police drop the charges.

Re: Something awry with NRL's salary cap compensation
So a club is better off with somebody accused of a serious crime rather than a injury to a player in an international game. Surely this is a joke.

I think cap relief for players being stood down for misbehaving is important, you cant expect the clubs or league to adequately handle these players unless you give the clubs the ability to compete without them.
But if you're going down the path of cap relief, and you're going to give it to players who are in strife, you have to at least make the concession that players injured in the course of their **** job, promoting the game, by playing international football, should also get it
Not like you're taking on a lot of risk of abuse, players injured in rep games are not the dudes teams will be fudging medicals on to obtain cap relief! They're their best players!
Re: Something awry with NRL's salary cap compensation
The contract of the person replacing him would have to be written in a way that it is not guaranteed.

Then if DeBelin comes back, they have the flexibility to manage their cap...
That's the nature of the situation. The contracts signed have to reflect the volatility of the situation.

No compensation. No extra incentive to rehire bad eggs.
Re: Something awry with NRL's salary cap compensation
Yeah. That's really ****.
It's a huge **** error in policy when it is a competitive advantage to have a player accused of rape, rather than do a major injury representing their country.

Quite right. Its greatly reducing the risk for clubs to sign players with questionable histories.

Can we get some retrospective cap relief for all the **** Todd Carney pulled?

Re: Something awry with NRL's salary cap compensation
The fact that we are even having this conversation speaks volume about the NRL.
How many sports codes are there where players being stood down after being charged is so common that the question of compenaation even arises as an issue???

Son, we live in a world that has forums, and those forums have to be guarded by Mods. Who's gonna do it? You? You, Nickman? I have a greater responsibility than you can possibly fathom. You weep for Lucy, and you curse GE. You have that luxury. You have the luxury of not knowing what I know -- that GE’s moderation, while tragic, probably saved lives; and my existence, while grotesque and incomprehensible to you, keeps threads on track and under the appropriately sized, highlighted green headings.
You want moderation because deep down in places you don't talk about at parties, you want me on that forum -- you need me on that forum. We use words like "stay on topic," "use the appropriate forum," "please delete." We use these words as the backbone of a life spent defending something. You use them as a punch line. I have neither the time nor the inclination to explain myself to a man who rises and sleeps under the blanket of the very moderation that I provide and then questions the manner in which I provide it. I would rather that you just said "thank you" and went on your way. Otherwise, I suggest you get a green handle and edit a post. Either way, I don't give a DAMN what you think about moderation.
Re: Something awry with NRL's salary cap compensation
I think it's remarkable that Greenberg has managed to **** up things even more than David Gallop has done at the FFA.
Re: Something awry with NRL's salary cap compensation
So reading between the lines here the NRL has demanded that the Dragons stand down De Belin because they're getting heat, and somehow the Dragons have backed the NRL into a corner on the issue and have some kind of recourse and the NRL has come up with this doozy to appease them. Any other ideas?
We continue to **** about with blokes that are part of some fraternity. It's infuriating.
Re: Something awry with NRL's salary cap compensation
Apparently the Roosters led the charge for salary cap relief if players were stood down, and it was backed by others.
