I think they'll find a way to make it work, but it just needs a bit of massaging.

The second part is the exemptions you talked about, Dobbo.

Now, obviously, Danny's written about that today, that James Bracey and Daniel Dixon, I believe they had a meeting with Peter Volandis about it, and there's some momentum now for Perth to get some...

Now, I can't imagine it will be salary cap help because they've signed 17 players and I don't think the other clubs would agree to that.

I mean, technically P&G don't have salary cap help.

They're operating on the same salary cap as everyone else.

It's just that their government has given that money, has given them tax-free incentives.

But their cap is the same as every other club in the country.

in the competitions cap.

It's about, I think the base cap next year is $11.7 million.

It sounds like they're going to open the way for Perth to potentially help our players with third-party deals, because as it stands right now, in terms of negotiating third-party deals, clubs can make introductions, but they can't

promised third-party deals.

The agent, the player's got to work that out separately.

It sounds to me like maybe the NRL will consider saying to Perth, you can help organise third parties for players.

Now, that's my assumption from what I read.

Maybe that's the way it looks as though it's heading.

They just lack star power.

That's what I think we have all said from day dot.

They lack...

A big name.
