Clubs are free to pay whatever they want to a single player, but his contribution to the salary cap total is limited depending on where he is from.
Sam Tomkins gets paid £500,000 a year to play for Wigan. Of that £500,000, only £100,000 goes onto the salary cap statement for Wigan, as Sammy is "club trained".
Mal Meninga gets paid £4,500,000 a year to play for Salford. As he is a foreigner, £175,000 of Mal's salary goes onto the salary cap for Salford.
