Was reading NRL could prevent any contract going through. As the trial contact would be paid based on the minimum $80,000 contract but the NRL are saying it is below "market value" and he is worth more as a former State of Origin and Test representative. I think that is stupid as we know buying and selling cards market value is based on the market not the perceived value one would have. If other clubs are offering more than yes it is below market value if this is the only offer than that is the market value. If the NRL don't approve the contract they could essentially be forcing a player to be "unemployed" for no reason than they feel he should be paid more.

Also raises questions about the supposed $100,000 deal Benji is doing with the Broncos as a former New Zealand captain wouldn't that put $100,000 as possibly below "market value".

If you ever want to read subscription articles, type the headline in google then click on the link it brings up and you will get the full article. I learnt this recently and has worked everytime I have tried it.
May depend on what Thaiday's $200k pay cut dropped him too. Based on the article "market value" is $400,000 so if he was on $600,000 before the drop would still leave him at the supposed market value.
Don't know how much "rorting" they have been doing but if the NRL signs off on it then it's not really rorting.
I think every club rorts the cap in someway, some clubs just disguise it better. With the teams that made a strong resurgence to the 8 this year and the former powerhouses who missed out the cap must be working to some extent.
I would still like to see discounts for juniors and one club players. For example, if you are a club junior and you play 100 games for that club 10% from the cap and so on.
The game could get another black eye though if they register Benji to Brisbane on 100k and put Dave Taylor's market value at 300k

It is being reported:
"POLICE are raiding the homes of NRL player agents Wayne Beavis and Sam Ayoub as part of ongoing investigations into salary cap breaches at the Parramatta Eels football club.
Officers from the NSW Fraud and Cybercrime Squad are currently carrying out search warrants at homes in Leichhardt, Woollahra, and a business premises in the CBD, police officials said.
No arrests are expected, but officials confirmed the searches were being conducted in relation to Strike Force Rhodium, the unit tasked with investigating salary cap breaches at the Eels club........."
I hope they bring this to conclusion quickly or we might see another Parra disaster after a successful start to a season.
Given Parra's form over the last few years I wouldn't bet against another disaster.

Even if it was to blow up again, there is one thing you cant take away from us in the 2016 season, despite all the rubbish going on we still turned up to play every week.It is being reported:

Some clubs didn't!!!
Thought this might flush you out.
I don't remember any forfeits last season...... so technically all teams turned up to play.
It will probably be like the Storm saga, with players saying "Oh I thought the boat, caravan and shopping vouchers for my girlfriend that just turned up where part of my contract" and the NRL then doing nothing........again.
