It means we the amount of overs we'll have to pay will be even higher. Papali'i would cost us a million under the current cap. We'd need to offer Moses 1.5 rather than 1.1.I don't think it's dire.
Firstly we will have known and potentially assessed / included likely cap increases into offers made.
Secondly, any contract up for grabs right this moment might be significantly affected, but over the next 12-18 months, we will have the space we already had, plus the new cap space to spend.
So Tigers can still be very active in the market, in fact moreso when the dust settles.
The cap increase mainly benefits big successful clubs as it will make it easier for them to retain players, although a few mercenaries will still take way overs if they can get it.
