Cap dispensation?

[The Who]

The Walker injury, when playing for another 'employer', raises the question: If this injury keeps him from fulfilling his duties as a paid employee of Manly who is liable to pay his salary?
If he misses matches for Manly, as a result of representing his country, does the club get a pro-rata dispensation on its salary cap?
This question relates to any player/employee who is injured while 'on loan' to another employer.
Does anyone know the answer?

Players are employed by the Clubs and are contracted to promote RL

Mansour did his ACL in the Roos Game last year and missed most of the Season.

It's just a luck of the draw 😎

Thanks HM. Informative and no doubt correct. But the NRL needs to change the rules as it seems unfair.
Bring this scenario back to normal working life. I have a full-time job yet I get hurt while working (and earning money) for a second employer surely the second company has to pay my compo etc?

But the NRL is just a secondment, not a second employer.

I would assume that Manly would call on their Injury Insurer to cover some of the costs.

The more Rep Players a Club has, the more Sponsors and TPAs they would attract - so Clubs do benefit indirectly

Meanwhile Walks gets a $30k paycheck for lying around and getting high on morphine

Insurance will pay, but Walker still counts towards the cap. Walker is really young remember - I wouldn't be surprised to see him playing round one. Just needs some super rehab.

dogs, boncos and storm receive dispensation but the other clubs SFA

Not in Sydneys northern beaches... sub clause in the insurance policy

I remember hearing something on abc grandstand a while back when a caller asked something similar. and that if the kiwi rugbyleague had to cover injury cost too any kiwis hurt playing internationals. they would be broke and there would be no test matches .

Injuried players and money out of the cap are another area that needs looking at from the NRL. If said players are insured, why doesn't the NRL allow clubs to enter them onto an injury list and promote/buy another player to replace them?
