Pressure... David Gallop says the disparity between the salary cap and NRL grants
is a burden. Photo: James Brickwood


Warriors boss Wayne Scurrah will urge fellow club chief
executives to reconsider a registered contract offer
scheme in the wake of revelations that NRL salary cap
auditor Ian Schubert had discovered letters of offer to 11
Storm players for amounts exceeding their contract figures.

After being rejected last year, the scheme is again set to
be raised at tomorrow's meeting of club chief executives,
which will focus heavily on the effectiveness of the salary
cap and whether it can be improved.

The development follows a report in Saturday's Herald
that letters of the formal bid documents were part of the
circumstantial evidence compiled by Schubert in the
case against the Storm.

Some of the letters of offer date back to 2006, the first of
four consecutive seasons the Storm featured in the NRL
grand final. But Scurrah said such rorting would be easier
to detect if all offers to players had to be lodged with the NRL.

''If you made an offer to a player the other clubs wouldn't get
to see it, only the salary cap auditor,'' Scurrah said. ''But he
would be able to see if a player accepted less than he was
offered and could look into it. If it was within 20 per cent it
might be OK, but if a player signed for half as much as he
was offered you might think that was suspicious.

''I just think we need to look at ways to help the salary cap
auditor to do his job and we talked about registered contract
offers last year. A couple of clubs were opposed to it but I
think it is something we should look at again.''

NRL chief executive David Gallop said he would welcome
suggestions from club bosses on ways the salary cap could
be improved, although he cautioned that the granting of
exemptions would only benefit the wealthier clubs. ''We
have previously tabled a registered contract offer scheme
whereby all offers are lodged centrally and it was rejected
by the players' association, although to be fair the clubs
weren't all behind it,'' Gallop said.

''The salary cap is at its most critical point when players
are on the market because it is at that point an illegal
promise can entice a player to choose one club over another.

''That's the vice in underwritten third-party agreements.''

A number of club chief executives contacted by the Herald
yesterday said they would like to see discounts for
long-serving players or juniors they had developed.

''We all acknowledge that the salary cap is not perfect but
is an important part of the game,'' Canterbury's Todd Greenberg
said. ''The Bulldogs would welcome any discussion or debate
regarding opportunities for improvement of the salary cap
system. We must continue to challenge ourselves to find
alternative ways and opportunities, whilst remaining conscious
of the financial restrictions and sensitivities of our balance sheets.

''This is not an exact science, but as leaders of the game we
must challenge ourselves to explore alternative ways to get
better outcomes.

''We all know it's not easy but we must endeavour to work hard.''

Parramatta chief executive Paul Osborne said: ''At the moment
there is no reward for developing the kids and hanging on to them.''

Cronulla's Richard Fisk and Canberra's Don Furner were
also keen to discuss salary cap concessions for local juniors.
''We should be looking at different ideas like a points system,
discounts for juniors and a draft system,'' Fisk said.

While the gap has closed since the formation of the NRL in
1998, when the salary cap was $3.25 million and the grant
paid to clubs was $2 million, Gallop said it was his aim to
have the amounts equal.

''The game still carries a heavy burden from 1998 and although
we are closing it, the gap … is like an albatross around the
game's neck,'' the NRL boss said.
