NRL Chief Operating Officer Jim Doyle has announced a plethora of salary cap changes to take effect from 2015.
In a press release Doyle explained the changes to include:
– Increasing the veteran player allowance by up to 50 per cent
- Promoting player welfare with a new allowance for clubs who need to field a player outside their roster to replace a player who has suffered a concussion
-Allowing clubs to exclude termination payments from the salary cap where the club has approval from the NRL to terminate a player for behavioural issues which have brought the game into disrepute
- Regulating transfer fees – either by including them in the cap or through other mechanisms.
-Simplifying the salary cap structure by rolling in the existing marquee player allowance and the sponsor servicing allowance into the base cap.
The changes will however be subject to formal negotiation and agreement with the RLPA.
