This makes me hate the RORTers even more.... how in the world do you fit SBW under your cap, I get there is no Cronk anymore but cmon!
They replaced Cronk and Latrell with a rookie and old man Josh Morris. SBW isn't anything more than a name now. What's the issue here?
Also, the Salary Cap rules are clear that the NRL will not allow clubs to register contracts that are well below market value. It is therefore farcical that the NRL will allow the Roosters to contract SBW for $150K.
Even if he is only playing 10-12 games, you don't think numerous other clubs would offer double, or even triple that? How do they justify "market value" in that case?
They are bending numerous Salary Cap laws to get this deal done, putting aside the Roosters actual cap position.

Not the point here but how insane is this rule in the first place?
Other outlets also confirming Leutele has been allowed to sign with us. Interesting comments from other club supporters , pointing out the double standards which had seen the NRL blocking it. Looks like someone at NRL realised they were on a big loser here.
