Salary cap amendment : Mon Nov 07, 2011 5:16 pm
Looks like there is now special dispensation for marquee players to prevent player drain to NRL & RU.Tomkins signs a massive contract that makes him highest paid RL player, but RFL have amended the salary cap to allow the signing:
Wigan chairman Ian Lenagan has revealed the club have taken advantage of amendments to the league’s salary cap to help keep Tomkins in the game.
The Rugby Football League are sticking with a £1.7million ceiling but clubs are to be given permission to make allowances for long-serving, marquee and home-grown players in an effort to prevent a drain of talent to Australia and the 15-man code
Will Saints make use of this special dispensation?
