lots of talk over here about one of our clubs signing the current wallaby halfback

weve not signed a wallaby since 1995 because of the wages difference in favour of union

an option has been to make union/AFL players exempt from the salary cap

would this be a good option for both the nrl and SL?

in the past RL used to sign some fantastic players from RU over to SL clubs.

No because it would undermine the whole process of the salary cap and attempts to even up the competition. Would you want Melbourne to go out and buy Folau and Karmichael Hunt and a couple of other ''RL'' converts or a couple of RU players so that they can dominate again.

I think it would be an option in the future but would need to be limited to one per club etc.

I would much rather see a position whereby hometown players are exempt but again that would have to be a bit further down the road certainly in the UK.

maybe for 1 year

If the RU/AFL player is going to be paid a salary, then No.

I see where you are coming from Dally. I like what Spud said that maybe for one year they don't count. This gets them back to the superior code. This should come with a contract that says the player must get into the 'public eye' for free for marketing purposes whenever the club or NRL/SLE want them to.

yeah one per club, it would need to be limited

if it means hunt or folau are back in league id be happy.

it would have to be their first rugby league contract, one year wouldnt be enough to swing it

which player is gonna be happy to take a wage cut after his first year though?

I would love Quins to convert the clubs union supporters.

i think one per club would be a good move 9even though my own club wouldnt benefit) as we can start signing more top union talent rather than the other way round.
