I refer to Roy Masters’ piece in the SMH on the 28th September. He mentions that another NRL player has signed to the AFL. The player is apparently a Sydney based player with an AFL background.
He was to attend the AFL grand final, but was playing that evening (either a Storm or Broncos player).
This appears to be another blow for the NRL, but if you think about it, the ARU have signalled an end to recruiting NRL players and the AFL have simply taken their place.
Plus, of the players off-contract recently (Hayne, Benji, Lockyer, Inglis), only Hunt has defected.
Hopefully a better TV deal will increase the salary cap to about $6m. That averages $240k for your top 25 players, which is roughly the same as what the AFL are paying.
Reckon you can pick the winning team? Build your own dream team with Draftstars daily fantasy and compete on any match. For great odds on the NRL head on over to PlayUp. Imagine what you could be buying instead. Set a deposit limit.
