so was wigan's full back Kris Radlinski i think

Couldn't have been him, he plays for free . . . honest.

Of course it's self publicity, but are you that naive to believe all the clubs are being well behaved over the salary cap?



If you take it that Wigan being the only club to deliberately breach the salary cap so far means I meant them so be it.

he signed a new deal with hull fc then 24 hours later change his mind and signed for warrington. fc only got £50,000-£80,000 i think

Alternatively, get off your high horse.



He is the only one that immediately sprung to mind, not because I think Leeds are cheats, but because I remember him being very heavily linked with RU and then signing a new contract with Leeds. Not accusing him or Leeds of anything, just trying to throw a name out there to try and fit to what Keef was saying.



And as for him doing a speech, then wow. If only Melbourne had had the balls to lie in public about what they were paying players. Oh. Oops.

So would I, if it didn't involve a massive pay cut

which is why no-one with any calibre will be applying for this job.



The salary level is at about what a graduate with 3/4 years experience at a Big 4 accounting firm would expect to be earning - and someone at that level is nowhere near experienced enough to manage the salary cap to the level it should be managed at.

They are not after a qualified accountant however. Nor a legal expert. The accountancy involved isn't difficult, knowledge of payroll taxes can be learned very quickly and the specifics of the sport and the cap would be foreign to even a senior partner at an established accountancy firm.



They just want someone with that sort of background to do the job. At the end of the day it's a box ticking exercise, a manual checking of submissions to payroll records and bank statements I would expect.



£28k these days isn't a 'low' salary like a lot of people are making out either. I doubt this role will be the only person doing it and I'd expect there to be both legal and accountancy expertise already employed by the RFL.

From reading the job description, I would say you are totally wrong in virtually every word of that.



You get what you pay for. Its no wonder we get what we get from Rot Hall.



And is your "Dream Job" really finding out how much players earn (or such of their earnings as the salary cap auditor is aware of)? Takes all sorts, I guess?

I can't recall Sinfield ever having been massively and continuously linked with union to the degree he was supposedly about to sign a contract, although I think himself he admits he has spoken to people.



I'd have thought the obvious person to look at though would be Keiron Cunningham who fits the description perfectly.

What if Bruce Ocker resents having his earnings published? It seems that the when people discuss the salary cap they never seem to take into account the thoughts and feelings of the people who it actually affects...........The people whose salary is capped.

I thought the RFL were quite open to the fact they ended up paying part of his wages to keep him in RL?



And then he promptly retired from internationals.
