Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

I think that would be great or at least an origin line up


It would have been interesting if each player for the first 5 years received a $125K a year sign on bonus per year tax free

A one year contract 125K
A two year contract $250k
A three year contract 375K

And so on I think that would have been better

And I also think the bears players should receive a 50K a year travel bonus per year for the first 5 years then 30K a year for the next 5 just to help getting players over there moving costs and family travel

I don't understand why do it if your not willing to help out the NRL should have done better
Once the govt announced their money was tax free the N.R.L should have come out and stated that P.N.G will have 75% of the salary cap to maintain their roster after 3 years. Essentially that gives them a salary cap that is 50% bigger than everyone else. Also 25% of all third party agreement money is withhrld and given back to the N.R.L for grassroots football in P.N.G and Australia.

Reality is you need to pay them substantially more to get them over there...how much more is the question. Another massive perk will be the almost blank chequebook for associated cost like accom, childcare, schooling, food etc...than add untaxed tpa's is that just png companies or sponsorships they may have in Australia as well?

Just wonder though while its up and running, how much will the federal government give to keep it going like a subsidy. Im still of the beleif the biggest hurdle will always be living there. The moneys all good, i can still see guys going then after a few months or a year wanting out to come back home.
 
believe so yes prior to June 30
but hey got told bula to dogs too
I guess if turuva or someone gets injured we probably keep skelton until end of year and he goes to Parramatta for 20

If he lets Skelton go mid season with the concerns they have in the outside backs …he is crazy…. How much does it save on the cap ? Like a $100k…makes zero sense

Unless someone additional inbound arrived their is no value in him leaving.

Cap wise would be next to nothing and we have a spot already vacant (which is normally reserved for a conversion of a dev/junior contract).

Why help the Eels? Same club that got Moses to break his contract and openly joked on live tv about getting Galvin last year while under contract to us. Did they let Stefano come to us early while he was in second grade? I wouldn’t be helping this club unless helps us get rid of a player we don’t want who is under contract past this season.
 
if he is not in benjis plans the who knows maybe we are after a player at another club, Tyson smoothy as someone mentioned and we need the space.

He might not be in the plans for the future … but he could still play a role ( even as depth) in the Tigers hopes of playing semi finals over the rest of this season …. What happens if they got rid of him and there was an injury to Turuva next week …you want to go back to Tavana the rest of the season? All for saving a $100k on the cap ..like I said just not worth it and would be a poor move from Benji and Shaun
