TBH it's a good point because i didn't realise Lussick was a marquee player but he is. So that means they have 3 now, isn't 2 the max? I'm confused.

Just read an article on sporting Life and it says this
Firstly I didmn't know Money Bill was getting a piece of Toronto and how can they be confident of getting a 3rd Marquee player permitted?

I hadn't seen that - and it changes things; if the rule is two, and they already have two, then there are questions to answer.

I don't know; if the limit is two, and SBW is one, that suggests that at least one of the other two isn't a marquee player.

Both Darcy Lussick and Ricky Leutele are marquee - My guess is that they will get rid of one? I think with SBW coming from Union his wage does not count on the cap for the first year anyway.

SBW will count on cap as only union players who have not previously played league are exempt from cap for 1st year

This Salary Cap thing is positively byzantine; no wonder poor old Leeds got so muddled up!

Seems quite straight forward to me Bren, it is when you start looking at various loop holes that it gets complicated.

must of been another SBW that played league before how silly of me

Re: Sonny bill : Fri Nov 08, 2019 5:42 pm  

It just means that either Lussick or Leutele will no longer be classed as a marquee player and their full salary will count against the cap. No rule breaking at all providing they don’t overspend.

Re: Sonny bill : Fri Nov 08, 2019 7:00 pm  

Leutele has got a million quid contract himself

Been told his salary Christ almighty.
