3rd party deals

Salary cap is and always has been an absolute joke. Anyone with half a brain can see that there's no way the Broncos can legitimately be under the cap. Freakin joke.
That's why the Cowboys beating them in the GF last year was very satisfying

Yes except there would have to be some doubt that the Cowboys are legitimately under the cap with the roster they have.

Most of these tpa's seem tube quasi sponsorship arrangements which are not in the spirit of tpa's

Which one's and which players exactly…I'm keen to know..

Well Geo, if you want a documented case, lets look at Anasta.

If TPA's were legitimate, then he wouldnt say he has any outstanding monies from us. His entire complaint is that he hasnt recieved payment for the TPA which was wink wink nudge nudge, when he signed with us.

If it was truly a TPA then it has nothing at all to do with our club, but a matter between himself, his manager, and the TPA provider…. So why is our clubs name even uttered in the same sentence?

Yes and after that claim was refuted by Mayer …it was never mentioned again.....

Was interesting listening to Gasnier (bout the only time) on NRL Round Table about how almost half his contract was made up of non- affiliated TPA's and were simply not paid forcing him out of the Dragons to France...

Remembering Non- affiliated whilst not capped must still be approved by the NRL...

It was Channel 9 in his case. This is the benefit to clubs of TPA's if the player doesn't perform its easy to move them on behind the scenes. Its why the poor clubs get stuck with bad contracts and the Broncos get players to retire or move on.
