He knows how much he's earning, what is published he's earning and how he's being paid it. He will also know how much some of his colleagues are being paid, what comparable players are being paid elsewhere, roughly what the going rate is for someone in his position with his level of experience, what he was offered elsewhere and where, roughly, in the club's wage structure he will be.

Now you may get some really dumb players who can't piece all of that together but I'm guessing most of them would

Yep.



How often is what a player's earning published? Accurately?



Yep.



Probably.



Completely irrelevant and inconsistent.



What?! Seriously?



Assuming he's been offered other contracts, this is entirely dependent on so many other factors as to be useless information.



Possibly, but knowing your place in the structure doesn't mean you have any idea what the other players are earning.



You're guessing most players would be able to piece together how much they are earning, how it is being paid, roughly what some team-mates might be getting and a rough guess of their place in the wage structure and deduce from that that the club is definitely deliberately and consistently cheating the salary cap? Time to set up the rugby league detective agency I think; Holmes, Marple, et al. will be out of jobs in no time.

You really are naiave aren't you.

I'm less naive than you are wrong.

the end game is that this seriously damages the entire game of RL and again makes it a laughing stock !!!
the term cheats does not ring loudly enough in my book for Melbourne!!
with that in mind i being to your attention the Warrington squad !!!
