Conspiracy on the cap??
Every allowance that has ever been made from the cap is designed to benefit the haves rather than the have nots
The haves are the Sydney Melbourne teams
That just the reality of it
The HAL salary cap has progressively got more unbalanced every season thanks to the FFA watering it down to benefit the bigger teams
Creating 3rd Marquees so Cahill could go to Heart
Creating Olyroo Marquee so Blue Aids could fit Weak Ankles and Disco Stu in under the cap
Creating Socceroo Marquee
Plus every other 3rd party agreement allowed
These things are all benefitting the haves rather than the Nix Gypos Jets Pissants etc
Your in a lot of delusion if you don't think that the Sydney Melbourne teams are not spending significantly more on salary than the other 6 teams are
