I think you will find that Termination Payments do relate to players whose contracts are terminated and covered by the RFL's standard temination agreement. How salary cap values are calculated are irrelevant when the player in question is discarded from the club's first or second tier.
Do you not agree that when a player's contact is terminated in accordance with 6.1.2 and 6.1.3 then they are removed from that's club salary cap calculation? If not then please explain what 6.1.3 means.
Again you completely miss the point. All I've stated is that termination payments count on the cap which you original disputed, and have been proved wrong (again).Termination payments are not salary and will still count on the cap.
I was also the person who had to tell you what happens when players leave clubs during a cap year - I'm well aware when happens, I had to tell you the rules previously remember when you got yourself into a lather when you mistakenly thought Gleeson's salary was still counting on our cap.
Lets say Wigan want rid of Roberts next year and decide to pay him off in January and agree a £50,000 one-off fee. While his whole salary for the cap year will fall off our calculation, the £50k will not, effectively giving us £50k less to play with. As I've had to tell you previously when you sign someone during the year, their cap value is calculated against the entire cap year, so if we signed someone mid-year and pay him £50k for the rest of the year, his cap value is £100k.
