Media Falcon Files: $weet $alary $peculation$ (S37)

[Falconista]

The eleventh biggest salary cap is that of the Swamprats, and as with the Furies, it's a team with a small squad size. The Swampies have one 'veteran' player with half of 'like-machine' Power Raid's salary off their books.

The Swampies list is an intriguing one, with some extremely good top-end talent combined with a lot of meh in the 'c tier'. Deservingly in the money are former (philreich) and current captain (jackster83) who together total $2 million. And yes of course, there's okey doesn't come cheap. The list also contains a contingent of 'b tier' players who all have previously been more active and it will be interesting to see whether folk like Ant Bear and GremioPower to name two, rekindle their love of the Sweet FA because if they do, the Sin City salary cap will rise fast.

The question emerging from this analysis would have to be- is okeydoke7 under or over paid?

Highest paid players: okeydoke7 (1.3m), philreich (1.1m), jackster83 (900k), damicky (800k) and BloodySwan (650k).​

I’m clearly underpaid. Staggered that I’d sign for less than $2m.

You've always been a team-first player, so I'm not surprised.

 

[BloodySwan]

What? I'm not even getting half of this. Management tell me you're on $3mil so there's little left for me!

okeydoke7 has always been an okey-first player, so I'm not surprised.

 

[damicky]

I took a massive pay cut to get away from The DictatAUR

It was worth every qent

FINALLY. Someone who gets me.

 

[okeydoke7]

I wouldn’t get out of bed for less than $2m.

Thread is flawed.


But I LOVE the concept. I was a salary cap warrior for many years and co-created a few of these threads back in the day. I think it adds to the fantasy element and generates some additional banter and discussion.

Go on - tell us all how you approved two teams licences into the league.

I think this works out to about $5,500 per post for me, I'll take that.

Dear Falconista,

in an effort to help you with insuring the integrity of your report on the Ophidian Old Boys salary cap situation we have tasked a specialist accountant to perform a salary review analysis of all Spotswood employees and their subsequent bonus SFA payments. We are confident it will be proven that we of all the teams spend the least on actual qooty salaries, thereby any slanderous accusations that come forth that we are breaching the SWEET salary cap are without substance and purely speculative on your side.

Yours in keeping it factual

I wonder what Brian Qaldron has to say about all this

 

[Tigerturbulance]

I wonder what Brian Qaldron has to say about all this

he was used as a salary cap consultant and says our S35 premiership cannot be stripped from us and the new ledgers we have replaced the old ones with this season look legit

Third party payments haven't been considered. However if you, Mrs Turbo, HARPSichord or MayTheNorthBeWithU have salary skeletons, the SMH might be onto you. Seems one of you Novocastrians may have been naughty naughty.
