Any Wigan trained player on over £75k will immediately be the second marquee? I don’t think that’s correct.
5.14b of the Salary Cap Regulations states “A Marquee Player is a player whose Salary Cap Value would be (but for for provisions of this Clause 5.14) £175,000 or more”
I remember reading an article specifically stating Hardaker is not a marquee player. Though I do understand what you mean in that another player already at the club on more than £175k could now be marquee.
Kind of
What I am saying is that people who say we don't have a 2nd Marquee are not correct as any player that was on over 175k would automatically have dispensation that would qualify for Marquee dispensation if required.
So for example - We all accept George is Marquee no1
So his 250k (I'm guessing) only 75k counts against the cap
Now if were saying we haven't got a 2nd Marquee - That means we don't have any Wigan trained players on over 175k - or non trained players on over 175k
I can't believe that's true?
So if we didn't allocate another Marquee and we were up to the cap then we couldn't bring anyone in - But just by say allocating a Farrell (I think it's fair to assume he would be on more than 175k - I hazard 200k for example) we could then use the 125k that becomes exempt to bring someone in "If Needed".
It creates cap space if needed to bring someone in.
Why would we not do that, All we need to do is name "Someone" and whichever player is on the most over his allotted dispensation would have that amount taken off the cap and we'd be under by that much freeing up availability if we need it?
