Quote ="Ruune Rebellion"As someone that has been involved in the audit of 3 super league clubs payroll, including the club you mentioned, just like your “RD exclusives”, yes it is just hearsay.
That loophole is so 1999 but well done on another exclusive'"
If the player's partners are paid by a third party it wouldn’t appear on the clubs payroll. EG if the owner of a club owns another company, and that company employs the player's partner their ‘salary’ is invisible on the salary cap audit. Not saying it is happening, just an easy way to do it if you wanted to.
