I can't see how this is good for the game, or how it does anything to achieve the lofty stated aims; it still won't tempt GI or any other rep player in his pomp from the NRL, it still won't stop top players leaving SL and it still won't force clubs to invest in their youth development. More likely, it will inflate the worth of players like James Roby, who will be designated marquee to give Saints more SC wiggle room; or it will over-value NRL has-beens who are here to bump up their pension pot before hanging up their boots.
There's a multitude of ways the RFL could have been creative with finances for the betterment of the game - this one is just reactionary piffle [uthat will benefit the already wealthy few[/u.'"
Players and clubs.
