[QUOTE="TRF_Olyy, post: 614084, member: 34990"] Slightly off topic, but still PRL related: Earlier in the season I ragged on them quite a bit for not naming & shaming, and not point docking, several clubs who went over the salary cap last season (or season before?). I've since found out that the reason they got away with a fine and slapped wrist is that at the start of the season the clubs were within the salary cap, but some of their players had clauses written into their contracts saying if they get called up internationally they get X amount more - due to injuries and unexpected call ups, several players initiated this clause causing their clubs to go over. While the clubs should, really, factor this in at the start of the season regardless, it is somewhat more understandable than clubs being blatantly over the salary cap 24/7 (I know some "are", but I mean on the books, rather than suspicions).
