Was not aware you were going back to 2018...im referencing tpa's you hear about every now and then, most tend to be marquee player top ups. Yes you are correct and storm/broncs would be on top, however the dolphins could have diluted the broncs tpa's. Would be difficult to really quantify the...

yes, understood, however the ones that are reported are usually the ones the Clubs are allowed to organize...if you recall Richo talking about a TPA with a car company for Galvin, ppl thought he was speaking out of school, when in reality its all above board because clubs are allowed to do...

if its only a 2 year deal we should just activate the option, especially considering the fact the 950K is above what the option would be paying him. From what i know of Bula he does not seem to be the type that will kick stones. His manager probably will.

Clubs only report the TPA's they have had a hand in...i believe they can have some limited ones with sponsors of the club. Of course they would not be listing the TPA's that a supposedly directly negotiated by the player and his manager that are meant to be arms length.

We are leagues club owned, however its the debenture holder system that throws a bit of a spanner in the works and means that we look more like a privately owned enterprise. The 20 debenture holders control Holman Barnes Group, who in turn control the Wests Tigers....most leagues clubs are...

If he has another look, at madden for a stint next week lining up beside Luai gainst better opposition than he may get a crack in game 1. If not, than AD is locked in already.

Interesting part of the *Lorax situation is the eels never said you cant come back to NRL. They did however say we would have to sign off on the club you go to. I wonder if the $ compensation or player swap would have been an issue if it was the Titans, knights, tigers etc..

In most cases other than a not for profit ownership, yes in theory they could draw a profit and pay it out, however I expect the NRL funding can only be spent on specific things and not taken out as profit. In relation to the HBG ownership, i believe their charter includes a dividend paid to...

I have not watched the video, however if he is saying yes he would take 2x his salary tax free with R360 than the guy is just being honest, also I'm pretty sure Laurie Daley is never going to pick him for NSW so he is again calling a spade a spade.

I don't think i can recall seeing Pole pass the ball. I'm sure he has, however not really a skill he has exhibited regularly. For me a 13 has to have a swift, accurate pass on both sides that's almost bullet proof under pressure at the line. If we don't want that, than yes, pole, sione, terell...

You cant say that for certain, the Dogs look like they are dumping plenty into their junior pathways and seem to have the pick of the crop in their nursery, it may not be what the players are being paid, however it may have to do with funding around the support services both footy and non-footy...

This 6 man bench may screw us at Origin time if they decide Luai will be the spare half, or Terrel the spare forward, or go for Api a specialist (creative) hooker on the bench now that you don't need utilities.

A fair chunk of the Manly team are from the south west.....problem is they are getting headhunted young by other teams becasue we dont have good systems in place.

Whilst the HBG board may be (should be) somewhat distant from the team and players, the Wests Tigers board will be engaging with them quite regularly, both at a social and professional level. The comparison I know a bit about is the Roosters board, you hear glowing praise from the players in...
