Super League XIV - Operational Rules

Operational Rules

Salary cap:

• For the 2009 season, Super League clubs agreed to operate within a £1.7 million salary cap for their 25 first tier players.

The 'club trained player rule' entered its second year and made a planned adjustment:

• Clubs would be required to include a minimum of six players, an increase from five players, who have come through their academy or are under 21 years old in their 25-player first team squads. Clubs were required to have eleven United Kingdom-trained players, an increase from ten, and no more than eight overseas-trained players, a decrease from ten.
