Don’t forget Bronson Harrison, he may not of played in GF but he played a few games throughout the year.

True

All good mate .....didn't disagree with your post .....thought you may have been spamming the place up

That $ figure was scoffed at by Sam but a 600 contract at PNG is effectively 1.2

How does 600k effectively double exactly?
I’d love to see the math on that.
People throw around these numbers on PNG like they’re the treasurer, they’re ridiculously inaccurate.

Anyone else getting the feeling that Sam & Latu will sign with PNG ?

If that happens , we don’t have a replacement for Sam , and Latu could be anything is he remains injury free , we need to keep both of these

At that pay you get taxed close to 50%. I know what you are saying though, you can create a lot of pre tax things to lower your taxable income here.

I don’t think they’re leaving. They’re probably just waiting for their agent to come back from suspension so he can get his commission from the contract. Which happens mid December.

We really don’t want to wait passed nov 1 , cause the pack will come after them

What's stopping footballers moving surplus money into their super account, tax benefits then, depending on their circumstances.

Thats the stuff im talking about. There is a limit to what you can move to super though

Don’t think James Schiller is the answer, but he has some toe. Might be a good signing.

Well, having just seen him score almost 100 tries in that clip, he did look good. But can he tackle?

Don't think there's any limit to how much you can add but after $32,500 the rest is added to your assessable income but reduced by a 15% offset, still reduces tax and better than giving it to the government.

Going by what I’ve read on here, he has lapses in his defence. I’ve never watched him play.

Hopefully @Canadian Club was on the money with his somewhat recent post stating that they had agreed and/or signed to extend their stay.

Unlike Skelton he provides options other than wing... but for the right money

Scott Fulton name poping up at Newcastle so who knows

..they will never reach the finals again....
Offered Schuster at a bargain price of..$1.2 mill??
Benji walked..then Fulton ran

Whilst Skelton can finish and hit real hard if he has them lined up, other aspects of his defence are atrocious, so goodbye and no great loss for mine.

Yeah, at least Schiller has speed to recover a defensive mistake and get back to help mend his stuff up, with Skelton it's like turning the Titanic.

Different story defending near the try line though, if his defence is suspect, run a million try line drills over the summer.

I think Schiller is related to Brett & Bill Mullins
