Not that I am singling them out in any way, just about every club would be finding loopholes in the salary cap with TPAs and whatnot. The Roosters just happen to be able to do it better than anybody else because Politis owns a hundred different businesses in the Sydney area. The only time clubs ever get caught breaching the salary cap is when there is a whistleblower, so clearly the most important part of salary cap management is keeping your employees that are privy to such matters from becoming disgruntled. Roosters staffers would be savvy enough to know Don Nick would have them in cement shoes at the bottom of Rose Bay if they squealed.

TL;DR- All clubs are crooked, but the Roosters are the best at it

The discussion cam about last year where if you picked someone who averages say 50 and misses the first bye round and doesn’t play origin you end up with 1,200 points (24x50). If you sacrifice that for someone who average 40, plays rd 12 then trade to someone averaging 50 plays second bye, say you trade them straight after rd 12 you are only getting 1,130 points (12x40 + 13x50).

Also if you were picking between one or the other to start the season would you pick Fifita or Crichton?
Does Fifita still play Origin?? Both have key points to note with Fifita there is known fact that some FRFs start slower whereas with Crichton he's at a new club (this may actually positively impact him though - running off Cronk)

I honestly desperately hope Hughes starts over Drinkwater just so I can fund other moves by dropping 80k from there

Thanks

I also heard Sharks are one of the clubs under deep investigation for cap issues and SJ could be the one pushing them over that cap and could be looking for a new club very soon.

Wouldn't it be hard case if he ended up back at the Warriors but the Warriors offer him half that he's on atm because it's SJ's only option & all other clubs have full rosters. They always say in business sell high & buy low

That article said the only two clubs with some room in their cap for Johnson would be Eels or Tigers but apparently Tigers are about to sign Rennings from South Sydney (AJ to wing, Allan to FB?).
