Makes me remember that time I think Ricky said in the media when he was coaching the Sharks that they were not using the whole cap and he got told to rescind or reword his comments.
So many players get overs, and contracts that are to long. A massive issue for me that almost never gets spoken about. The top players even say get a 3 or 4 year deal based on there current form, so often leads to the 3rd or 4th year being way overs as they play like Muppets once the money is locked down.
Problem is bad teams paying overs to get fringe rep players on similar salaries to actual rep player. Luke Brooks is on similar coin to DCE without justifying it with performance. DWZ apparently on 850k while someone like To'o or Tupou would be on 250k cheaper. These little over payments add up and is why teams like Tigers, Bulldogs, Warriors and Souths stay in the cellar for so long
