Just trying to understand.
Storm has a 30 man squad now. Less Tino who has already signed with the Titans. They therefore have a 29 man squad to start the game but the same salary cap to spend.
The Titans have a 30 man squad but have signed Tino. They therefore have 31 players to start our game (2 more than the storm) but the same cap figure.
The Titans would have more assets and a valuable squad to start the game due to extra players at the start with still an equal cap? The Titans can effectively sell 2 players for half a million, now have an equal size squad to the Storm and start with that significant financial advantage.
Josh Ado-Carr is a similar situation and there will be other teams the same situation having more or less players to start.
Is this how it works or am I looking at it wrong?
Maybe I will just play the game and see how it all unfolds
1) "The Titans can effectively sell 2 players for half a million, now have an equal size squad to the Storm and start with that significant financial advantage."
No they can't sell two players for half a million. You can only get people of your roster by
a) If they are Pool A and someone signs them up and recruits them. There is no impact to your cap in this case. There would be in real life - but not in this game.
b) If they are Pool B and someone trades 3 of your guys for two of theirs so you end up with one spot less. As explained already all trades confirmed as fair trades will have no impact on caps and available funds even if there is an uneven number of dudes floating in each direction.
c) You get Isaac Moses to agree to sign your player up to a club in the super league. You get no cap relief for this in the game - instead you just free up a thirty man roster spot. Which could be a valuable thing worth doing.
d) You use some of your salary cap to compensate some other team to take a player from your roster on to theirs sort of like how the bulldogs would have to subsidise Foran to get someone to take him in real life. Again you might want to do this to free up a top thirty spot.
2) "The Titans have a 30 man squad but have signed Tino. They therefore have 31 players to start our game (2 more than the storm) but the same cap figure."
Your beginning position is the 17 players who took the field in round one
2020. I will provide a link for this and all teams on opening day will need to post
a) their game day 17 based on who actually was named
b) their top 30 based on the link I provded
At the end of the game you post your new and improved best 17 dudes who aren't on the injury list as of 4 weeks from now (I also provided this link)
There are two prizes
1) Who has the best 17 at the end in absolute terms
2) Whose 17 has improved the most compared to their original 17
The 30 man squad is only relevant in that your 17 must come from it.
We will use a simple version of a 30 man list in this game as I know it gets complex in the NRL.
Your list will the official 30 guys on the url I gave at day one plus any additons or deletions. Last guys added go to the bottom of the pile and become the 31st or 32nd guy etc and can't be part of your top 30 or your potential 17 unless you get rid off some of the incumbents on the list.
Boy the rules for this will be long!
