Players with Super Rugby or Mitre 10 cup experience start out at 10 points but are then discounted based on number of years out of contract, history with their Club e.g. come through Juniors and/Colts or long service(5 years or more).It’s the best strategy I reckon… what souths has done with supplying an hoard of talent for Aus u20. They could fill out that team with a couple of incoming super rugby players and be under the cap.
The cap system is a mess however like there’s so many players whom you got to ask if they are “super rugby = 10 points”
Sorovi is unsigned - didn’t play a minute of super rugby this season.:: do you give him 10 points because he was super rugby qualified at start of season or is he 1 point cause he’s just a 3rd tier halfback now.
For example Kohan Herbert from Souths started out as 10 points but was discounted down to 9 points because he is out of contract this year. Theo Fourie and Phransis Sula-Siaosi were discounted because of their Colts years with Souths. Souths never got near 100 points even with their under 20's and Super Rugby players because a number of players had history with the Club through Juniors and Colts.
