Marquee returning players

[Godzilla]

A marquee player's salary counts as £150,000 on the cap.

The salary of a "returning player" counts as 50% of it's actual value on the cap for the first year.

If the returning player is also a marquee player is that 50% of £150.000, 50% of the actual value or £150,000 (assuming the actual value is £300,000+) ?

Anybody know how it works?

This is a toronto thread in disguise isnt it?

I would assume you cant apply both to one player.

Nowhere does it suggest you will get a discount on the adjusted value.

The rules state you can have two marquees and a total of two 'new/returning talent' players: https://www.rugby-league.com/flipbooks/2019-operational-rules-tiers-1-3/mobile/index.html#p=291

There is no provision for double dipping for a 'returning marquee'.

If this is about SBW, then he would be a marquee unless TWP wants to spend around half its cap on one player (which it won't have space for).

How is a marquee player defined though?

Whoever you nominate. Only £150k of their salary will count on the cap, or £75k if they were club-trained.

A more interesting question is what are Toronto going to do about their existing, contracted marquees (Lussick and Leutele) if they want SBW?

Are Toronto

Are toronto trying to sign SBW ? I haven’t heard anyone mention it

I suspect it is covered by the blunt statement that "A Marquee Player...shall be given a notional Salary Cap Value of £150k".

Any Returning Player Adjustment would be made to the true Salary Cap Value. There is no provision for a 50% reduction on a notional Salary Cap Value.

We need to just dump the cap full stop
