Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

Why wouldn't they? A good club means they can enjoy their footy every week. What is the lifestyle difference between say 900K and 750K? If your lifestyle isn't changing wouldn't you want to take the option where you are enjoying your footy?
Add that potential additional football earnings increase being at a good club I.e. rep selection more likely and thus rep payments. As well as future earnings more likely if they are a premiership winner and rep player. Taking less in many cases is probably the better financial play.

I'd suggest it is foolish to think they wouldn't take less to play at a stronger club.

Alternatively, Everyone on here will tell you the answer is no they get TPAs, brown paper bags or shares in a pub or some other shit. And I'm not for a second going to say that doesn't ever happen but I'd guess it happens far less than it is suggested.

Very few 3rd parties are heavily investing in rugby league players. Why would they? What is their return on investment?
ok so third parties make no difference and the salary cap it an even playing field and 150k gross is peanuts if you’re an elite player 🤣

150k pays for a lot of strapping and Gatorade

Edit; I have a story of a relative of mine who suppplied tiles. Delivered to a place in eastern Sydney years ago. Asked about how much a place sold for sale across the road…the owner said it went for about 30%less than market value…turned out Teddy was about to move in. What a great negotiator.

Goodbye Jahream,

What a shame and no dream. You had an opportunity but you've wasted it with your manager.

You've chosen to work with a known criminal. That is an outrageous shame.

Our offer is fair and true, and the Tigers will win a premiership with or without you.

Jokes aside - I'm also a massive Sydney Kings and Golden State Warriors fan, and I love the GS preseason direction. Hope Benji and the Tigers can follow suit.

TPAs aren't even, no. But as for how uneven? Well Storm and Broncos can probably get one extra top tier player compared to the rest of the comp. Beyond that id guess it's not
