But the mooted plan is that hard cap is only for the 26/27 season.
From 27/28 the caps will be "relative to a clubs’ revenue"
VUC you would think would have much higher club revenue (by whatever measure) than the Nix.
So in theory the VUC could have a much bigger salary cap to operate under.
So the bigger clubs to dominate even more??
What could keep things relatively even is the other mooted plan of having 6 kids under age 21, in your senior squad. Generally the VUC currently will have less young Academy grads in their match days squads than say the Nix.
Apparently the Nix have 5 under age 21 now in their senior squad. Auckland as a comparison none.
Be interesting to know how all the clubs currently compare on that metric.
