from the horse's mouth:
wikipedia mentions a salary floor of $3.69 million too.
that's an average minimum payment per player of $147,600, up to $164,000 if you use the whole cap.

Dead NSW Origin fan 'may have been bashed by rivals'

* NSW supporter found dead on road
* May have been bashed by QLD supporters
* Post to website sparks police probe
A DEAD NSW State of Origin supporter may have been bashed by Queensland fans and thrown into the path of early morning Gold Coast traffic only hours after the Maroons lost the first game of the series.
Gold Coast CIB is investigating claims the man, whose face was painted blue for the night, was attacked and thrown into traffic in Surfers Paradise early Thursday morning.
The probe has been prompted by a posting on the Gold Coast Bulletin website by a person known as "Angela".
Police are urgently trying to contact the blogger to gain more detailed information of the alleged attack.
In her post Angela rejected earlier reports that the man, Simon Lewis, 25, of Surfers Paradise had fallen asleep in the middle of the road.
"The person who died didn't fall asleep," Angela posted.
"He was bashed by a gang who went for the opposing team and thrown onto the road where the first car missed him and the unfortunate taxi was behind the car that swerved but had no time to swerve or didn't see the man."
Mr Lewis was found in the middle of Surfers Boulevard, near the corner of Markwell Street, about 3.20am.

Well if a mod likes it then I've got no chance.
Perm - that story was quoted somewhere else on here as well - I said "what are the odds that Channel 9 and News Limited try to bury that as much as possible", and here we are nearly a week later and there's been sweet f*ck all said about it........ now imagine if a Victory fan was stabbed/killed in a brawl with some Sydney fans?? The A-League would be freakin' banned for life!!!!
Biiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaasssssss.

Danger is that if they implode too quickly, some vested interest might step in to stop the rot.
What we need is a slow,gradual death that no one notices until its too late.
The sport is only being held up by the increasingly desperate promotion by D Tele, Ch9, 2UE and 2GB. As the rights begin to expire, watch them run for it.

i simply don't buy that the sport is dying.
in need of some serious work, sure, but on any given weekend something in the order of 50,000 people are going to NRL matches in sydney. in melbourne and NZ they're a basketcase but in the case of the queensland clubs and newcastle, they're doing just fine.
if sydney clubs were to tidy up their business models and maybe move a club or two (gosford will have a club soon enough, don't worry about that - toowomba and/or the sunshine coast must surely follow soon after) they'd be rolling again.
the VFL went through a rough patch in the 80s and early 90s as well, but they made a couple of tough choices, spread their wings to new markets and just look at them now. their crowds are enormous, they've got a tv deal that is bigger than kareem's head and they're looking at *buying* a stadium for $200 million.

But the afl/vfl isnt run by people who are more factional and bitter than the left wing of your mob.
Souths current bickering is just a microcosm of the game itself. How many bodies control the game?? NRL,ARL, QRL and hte CRL - are there more? That is the reason why they cant ever agree on anything or get anything done.
100 years and they cant go 80k's up the road??
die f**kers die

On that point, is it not amusing that all this sh*t is happening in the "Centenerary Year", a celebration of _tradition_ and somesuch?? "Oh hey, whatever, we'll be the Central Coast Rabbitohs because we're too short sighted to look anywhere else but Souths Juniors for money, sure thing".
Tradition?? Tradition in the NRL (that name alone signifies the death of tradition in the game, ARL 4 eva) is dead,

if bitter factionalism and mindless irrationality is what you're after, football's still the champ. look at the present barney over small sided games. or watch football NSW falling over itself at the end of this season when bonnyrigg wins the superleague and they try everything possible to keep them out of the premier league.
