    NRL cash to hit rugby hard again

    An old conflict rugby bosses thought they had won is set to flare again now that the NRL will almost double its salary cap on the back of a massively improved broadcast deal.

    From 2013, NRL clubs are likely to have a new budget of $7m to spend on players-almost double the $4.3m they have at the moment.

    For the first time in almost 20 years, league will have the financial clout to not only hold its best players but to also lure the biggest names in world rugby.
