Respectfully, this is very naive POV
It's not a bad idea, but boy it could make some lives weird.
Clearly, if the roosters have only 700 k on their cap, Tedesco wasnt a priority. If he was, they would make sure they signed him first. In other words , they simply cant afford him . Thats what the cap does. Even out talent(or at least its supposed to). And Greg, im sure you are not that naive to believe that Tedesco is playing for "800k" now just for the love of the Rorters.
Yep crazy ,but the player doesnt have to sign with the club with the next highest bid.EG if Tedesco wanted to sign with the Rorters , he still could however it would cost the Rorters 1m. , because thats the amount New Zealand were willing to pay. It stops the Rorters making up there own "value" & paying the rest under the table.
Sounds good to me. There must be a point where a club is entitled to withdraw their offer in the instance they're being played, need to move on or they find a more suitable player. Do you think there should be a proviso, that if they're home grown, they can choose to stay for less money? I guess the whole point is to stop the topping up of salaries via TPAs.
That's what the cap is meant to do.....I think Greg was merely surmising Champ.
Wouldn't surprise me, there's so much that clubs can do to circumvent the cap. The NRL know and are powerless to stop it. They know only 2 - 3 clubs are within the spirit of the salary cap, if they penalised the rest we wouldn't have a comp.
Cobbo replacement maybe. 🤪
hopefully, more likely than a Ken M swap lol
Did he end up been proven innocent? They were some pretty heavy charges laid on him
It's not about what I believe happens. It is why this is still a restraint
+ a bit of luck 🔮
You need TPA’s to attract quality players I guess
All offers are made public & registered with the NRL. .The Roosters can only withdraw the offer IF the player has not accepted it. Say Tigers offer Tedesco 1.2 M . That is now his market value. Before Tedesco accepts it, the Tiger sign RTS & withdraw the offer. The market value is now determined by the next highest offer (say Parra offered 1 m )that is now Tedescos market price. But if Tedesco has agreed to terms with the Tigers BEFORE they withdrew the offer, , The tigers are contractually bound to honour that offer. It is not too disimilar to how things work now except it is transparent cause they all have to make public bids.
Yes, the club could withdraw their offer at any time before it is accepted by the player. Also there should be a percentage discount for local juniors & that percentage gradually increases the longer a players stays. This would stop clubs like the Rorters pilfering young players from Penrith, Tigs & Souths juniors and make them develop their own.
Its not a restraint. In this example it is simply supply & demand. The Rorters dont have a contract for Tedsco at 1.2 M. He might want to sign with them but he cant cause they simply dont have the money in their cap & want to spend their money eIsewhere(eg Sualli of Manu) I might want to buy a new BMW but i cant afford it. I think i should be able to get it for $1000 but the market dictates its worth $500 000. Its not a restraint of trade because the market has set the value.
