Could the Storm saga be good for the game? (positive thread)

Very similar to a notional cap which makes the most sense to me. That and loyalty discounts in combination.
The hardest thing is as you said how to put a value in players.
Some players end up playing tests or SoO only because of injury or play for NZ like Glen who really isn't a Test match player yet.
Anyway I agree that type of system would prove to be far better than the current cap.

It would have to work on the premise of brackets for such players. ie, players who may have got a surprise call up to Test or Origin and so may never play it again.

You'd need a mathematician to calculate it (other than fucking McIntyre :P ).

Duckworth-Lewis anyone...?

OK - here's a potential positive. I hope the NRL get on board and allow this

Desperate to find a way to motivate themselves for the remainder of the season, Melbourne Storm are in the early stages of developing a proposal which would see them playing for charity.

The idea of playing for charities each week addresses that problem and it is understood some players have already had initial talks with the club's owner, News Limited. It is understood the players formulated the idea before News Limited chairman and chief executive John Hartigan went to address them on Tuesday last week.

More likely playing for Victorian Fisheries so Inglis can make better use of his new boat!
