How are the NRL exactly "driving" him out of the game. They are applying the rules that EVERY player/club are subjected to...
Restricting the income he can earn.
Don't get me wrong a salary cap is vital or 75% of the clubs in the NRL would die, but there needs to be some leniency in terms of 3rd party arrangements. I cna't think of any other sport that restricts what players can earn when payments aren't made by the club or the clubs sponsors.[/quote:2kv41zjy]
The NRL really doesn't to this either. as long as the club didn't find the sponsor for the player (or is a club sponsor), then the player can earn whatever he can from these sponsors
