  So every team has a set salary cap to spend.. except Broncos, Storm and Roosters. Also, you can’t really expect us fans to know when the administrators of the game don’t have a clue.

  It is spread over the top 30 players. It can be spent in every way as long as the total amount is under the nominated cap.

  Thought it was 9 mil over 30 next year
  That is average of 300k per player
  If a team has 4 players taking up $3 mill and the bottom 11 taking up $1 mil
  That leaves $5 mil between 15 players or about $330k per player

    Your numbers go up the more you spend?

  Creative accountancy and brown paper bags.

  So no reason why 3 players can't be on $1mil per season

    Everyone else would have to average at about $200k though. I don't think that is feasible, especially with rep players.

  That's the salary cap page but it is only current for this year's salary cap.

  It's a dumb allowance. It is capped at $600k and every club gets it, so it's no different from the rest of the salary cap. It doesn't even need to go to a marquee player. As far as I can tell its only purpose is to provide plausible deniability for players receiving under the table TPAs. When they get caught they can just say "I thought it was part/all of the marquee player allowance!"
