The first is a marquee player exemption, whereby a maximum of £200k count towards the cap, for one nominated 'marquee' player. As an example, we could sign Greg Inglis for £500k a year, but only £200k goes onto the cap. This is the Koukash rule. It'll hopefully see a higher calibre of player come to SL, the next tier of quality than that we have at the moment.
Then there's the home grown player rule, whereby one home grown player who has come through the academy I believe is exempt should they be paid £200k+. So, for example, if HTW turns out to be a world beater, we can pay him what he's worth without it having a detrimental effect on the rest of the squad. It only really applies to those top English players who may have their head turned to go elsewhere, like Watkins, Tomkins, Burgess etc. The club gets the benefit from bringing the youth player through.
Both rules only benefit those at full cap, but my opinion on that is, why should SL be held back by the few clubs that can't afford full cap whilst we see some of our best players leave.
I thin k this would work and I would actually go with the first bit (providing the club and demonstrate where the money is coming from - might be a joke I know) I would also then implement the second part in addition to this. Like Hutchie says though, with rules and caveats.
Think we needed paea to stay even if we have signed Taylor , if it was one in one out we wasn't strengthening in my eyes . Pleased if it's true , if we have Taylor could we maybe lose 2 props , feka plus one more .

michaels rankin feka
Any more? Can't imagine those 3 are on much between them
would've thought the 2 in bold were dead cert to leave. Michaels on 1 year deal, not done enough for me to warrant a new deal. feka, again hasn't done enough to warrant a new deal either. rankin on the other hand will all depend on if he gets offers from the nrl.
