How do you figure that out?
The NRL has a significantly looser salary cap than SL for example, with all sorts of large third party deals being exempt and "marquee player" status.
If rugby union or AFL are prepared to throw ridiculous sums of money at young men who have never played their game before, let them. I'd rather NRL (or SL) clubs didn't bankrupt themselves trying to pay unsustainable salaries to specific individuals.
The game in Australia will be around long after Karmichael Hunt (and potentially Greg Inglis) have left it, such is their production line of talented young players.
