The NRL’s decision to invite the Canterbury boss to help overhaul the salary cap is significant because few people in the history of the game have been more critical of it.
Gould has basically become a legend by setting up Penrith and now Canterbury to be a supply chain of youngsters to fit within a salary cap.
The instant the salary cap is removed, that’s when the clubs in the biggest markets that attract the biggest gambling money will be untouchable.
The Panthers have won despite the salary cap. It’s forced them to shed a couple of good players each year. Overall, the NRL cap has made for an even competition.
