BRAD WALTER ![]() 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. www.smh.com.au |
