Stanhope might blow the salary cap up if the rumour is true. There chasing Damien cupido can any 1 confirm if this true ?

I can just imagine the interesting investigation that would take place after a Grand Final if a disgruntled player, who is dropped from the big dance, chooses to exercise their 'whistle-blowing' rights....

Doc that's twice in your last 2 posts that you have mentioned the cap & that you are happy with it & think it's a great move!!

I agree & think it's a great idea, but to be blatantly honest if you or any other KDFL supporter out there thinks that every club is following it to the letter of the law than you's are kidding yourself.....

The points system whether fair or not works on the basis that it's there in black & white for every club to see, it can't be jigged with & all clubs have hands tied following it's structure!!

The cap on the other hand is nothing short of a laughing stock! No one knows who's monitoring it, nobody knows who's spending what but EVERYONE knows there are some clubs out there already cheating the system to benefit themselves!! I already know 100% FACT (absolutely no rumour's here, all fact) that some clubs have already made under the table deals, side deals or sponsorship deals with player's they have recruited that won't or can't be monitored! I have personally been told of several of these deals & quite frankly am disgusted that clubs think it's within their rights to cheat the system to benefit their own needs.....

People think it's the players demanding big money that's killing country footy, well now it's the clubs themselves that are blatantly breaking the rules that are killing each other!

Unless clubs are to expose ALL player contract payments for every other club to see by Rd 1 then I see the salary cap as an absolute fluff by the governing body..... ;):thumbsu:

Sorry to repeat myself Smooth! I'd estimate that 4 to 6 Club's will run over the Cap this year a couple well run well under too I'd imagine. I agree the points is the more effective part of the sustainability program. You blokes haven't been shy out there in recent years putting some good deals together has the Club pulled back or just haven't been as successful in securing the players?

Nah not repeating yourself mate, I was just using it as an indication & topic starter..... Just happened to be you that brought it up twice & created the opportunity to raise the topic..... :thumbsu:

Yeah surprisingly enough Doc even our premiership Year we would've made the budget! Linc Wellington & Tommy Sul were our only big paid players! The rest were either not getting paid (incentives only, petrol money) or on maybe $100 a game! I could name easy 12 players in that side that weren't getting a cent (& u'd be surprised at some of the name's).....

But as for this year, yeah I'd just say we've been unlucky on a few recruits, we've definitely tried & will continue to try but at this stage we're still probably 3-4 good players off reaching the cap.....

But that's footy mate, win some, lose some.....

Tell us what you really think Smooth :p

Well in saying that Ultra, it looks like my post has made some action because I was informed today by a league representative that the key to the cap is the introduction of a little thing called a "Statutory Declaration"

From what I'm told, player's & clubs are to sign a Stat Dec at the start of the season stating their player payments! Then if found to be incorrect during the year massive penalties will be dished out to club & player.....

I've said from the start I don't believe the cap will work as its too hard to police, but I sincerely hope I'm wrong because country footy needs direction..... There's no point bringing in the rules if they aren't concrete & clubs can just bypass them to suit themselves.....

Look I know some people out there won't agree with my opinion (& they're probably the 1's that have something to hide :eek:) but at the end of the day I couldn't really care as that's why it's called MY opinion..... ;)

Whoever wants I'm more than happy to hear your opinion that way I'll know where you stand on the matter & that can give us all some good discussion seeing as tho it's a new introduction to the league this year..... :thumbsu:

Anyone want to have a stab at the top 5 recruits coming into the competition this year? Will be some handy inclusions that for sure likes of Sidebottom, Roberts etc.
 
T

top 5 not in order would be..
Horsborough
Sidebottom
Lynch
Foxy emmett
Abley
Sides who tag Emmett will restrict him well most times hangs far and wide but if you let him go he does damage. Will be in the oppositions planning far more than he was in the GV. Seen Lynch play a few games at Waaia gun. What type of player is Abley?

Creative small forward, lacked some touch last year at Benalla after being over seas for a year. Should be better for it this year, but wouldn't put him in the Sidebottom, horsburgh category.
