Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

Interesting ...

He said that he would meet with Marshall in the off-season to discuss his long-term position within the team.

“I feel as though I’m really comfortable touching the ball in the middle of the field and being involved in the big plays and so whether that’s at lock or in the halves, I feel as though that’s where my assets are best used.’’

Doueihi is a genuine utility who is also a good athlete with size, power, pace and a good long kicking game. The latter is a asset we've never utilised to the fullest. He also has an uncatchable high kick. From memory he was a schoolboy international rugby player.
 
AD re-signing and hopefully Taylan May as well, and assuming we do not re-sign any other off contract players, then I think that leaves us with only one spot left, unless we are able to shed a couple such as Sullivan.

Your take on TPA are incorrect.

TPAS are between player and a third party and can not be influenced or have anything to do with the club. Using a TPA as a lever to get a player to sign for less is a breach of the salary cap rules. Putting them in touch with a financial advisor etc isn't. I'm not going to say that there aren't "arrangements" made that breach the cap rules but any admission would be stupid as a club would be in breach.

Why cant You Vicious or myself being a 3rd party , if no club membership get involved ? as a - 3rd party
 
38 - 12 the Panthers' way against the Knights. The Panthers are hungry tonight. KPP has had a v/good game with a great covering tackle on the sideline on Jenkins to save a try. The Panthers have had most of the possession, so KPP has made a lot of tackles, many one on one. He's made try saving tackles on the goal line on To'o and another a minute or so ago I believe on Mclean. He put a big hit around the hips on a Panthers' forward. Luckily Jenkins scored as Liam Martin held the ball when he made a break and was tackled near the Knights' goal line. He had the centre and To'o unmarked outside of him.

I’m saying based on what I know, there is a possibility a 3rd party sponsorship deal could have been part of the deal to help get Douehi’s signature across the line.
If that is true, it’s great for Wests Tigers and our salary cap management.

Yep - the 3rd Party deal is with a clothing Manufacturer of Khoduroy Trousers. I've seen their Summer range of Khod Shorts and they are flipping fantastic! 🤪 🤪🤪

That would be OK; if we made a deal with AD. However, if the deal meant Wests Tigers could offer "unders" then it is a breach. There has to be complete separation of the the third party and the club. For example; we couldn't chat with Richo and say that if AD signs for X tell him that we'll top him up with a thrid party advertising deal worth 100K; but,, we could approach AD directly, or post contract signature, and offer him an 100K advertising deal as a means to increase our market exposure. While similar in nature it is the invovement of the club that differentiates what is and isn't included in the cap.

The Roosters, Bulldogs, Broncos, Storm seem to master these 3rd party deals.
Hopefully Richo is thinking of if I can’t beat them, join them ?

I think you will find that they are way smarter than to dabble in this sort of caper. They off things like the provision of financial advice, discounted rates for fianancial management and brown paper bags etc. Loose lips sink ships and it would only take one slip to have a salacry cap investigation for a dodgy TPA.

What we don't know is what our players are getting from Pepper Money in doscounted services, investment "advice" etc.

I don’t think so. I would guess all, or almost all, clubs are illegally in touch with 3rd parties to arrange deals for their players. Parramatta just got caught from ~10 years ago that they were involved in arranging an illegal deal for Anthony Watmough. The evidence came out during the winding up of the said company. Same with Mark Gasnier when his brother sued him. The evidence was presented in court how the Dragons were illegally involved in arranging these payments ~15 years ago.
