Gold Coast coach Neil Henry says the NRL’s second tier salary cap isn’t working after Tyler Cornish left the Titans ranks.
Cornish left the club one day before their fifth-round fixture against Canberra, continuing a horror start to 2017 for the club that has seen more than 10 players miss games through injury.
Henry says the player contract system is not workable for clubs who lose players through injury.
“We’ve got a number of clubs who have issues around the second tier cap and we’re no different to other clubs,” Henry said on Friday.
“It really is limiting and the way it’s structured, at the moment it does restrict players who have the ability to play first grade.
“With the injury crisis we’ve got we’ve had to ask for exemptions for players to play and other clubs are doing the same thing.
