If the papers are correct we have

Marshall 550k
Farah 450k
Blair 500k
Lote 400k
Ellis 400k

So 2.3 mil in 5 players so that leaves 1.6 mil for 20 more players that leaves an average of 80k a player when min contract is 65k, yeah I don't think so

That's not what the papers are saying at all.

Just because a player is being payed 550k for example, doesn't mean that's all subject to the cap.

It might be 350k salary cap and 200k 3rd party sponsors which doesn't get calculated under the cap

Do u know how third party works?

First off its a max of 150k
Second that 3rd party can't have any affiliation with the club otherwise it does count towards the cap. That's why 3rd party details are so complex

Its now a max of $300k marquee as of 2010\. Also the veterans allowance was reduced from 10 years to 8 back in 2006.
 
Sounds like there are 2 types of third party Agreements. I'm sure playing for us would offer him more chances for ones that do not come under the cap compared to playing for some other teams.

From NRL.com
http://www.nrl.com/news/news/newsarticle/tabid/10874/newsid/58360/nrl-salary-cap-explained/default.aspx

Third Party Agreements
Third party agreements are payments made by companies directly to players. There is no restriction on the amount a player can earn through third party agreements where he is being paid for his own intellectual property, without the need to employ club logos or names and where the company involved is neither a club sponsor nor are they acting on behalf of a club to secure the player’s services.
>
All third party agreements must be registered and approved beforehand. This is to ensure that they do not become a way for clubs or players to use sponsors or third parties to undermine the salary cap. There are provisions for club sponsors to enter into agreements with elite players and for details see the Marquee Player Allowance section.
\

What about money paid from other people or companies?
The basic guide is that if a player is receiving money from any person as a way of inducing him to play for the club, then that money will be included in the Salary Cap.
Income that a player earns from parties not related to his club is generally not included in the Salary Cap, however, the details of the agreement must be advised to the club by the player.
>
The club must then get approval for the agreement from the Salary Cap Auditor in order for the remuneration to be excluded.
>
In 2006, the NRL also introduced an allowance for players who enter into Third Party Agreements with club sponsors. In 2010, the top 10 players are allowed to earn up to a maximum extra $50,000 each from sponsorship leveraging but the total payments under these sponsorship leveraging agreements must not exceed $150,000 per club.

What do u mean by 300k marquee? As in &3rd party deal?

If you are talking about the 3rd party marquee player allowance, it used to be $150k, as of 2010 it increased to $300k.

Farah and Marshall also fall under "longterm" so i believe there is a concession there plus there is a fair bit of third party deals involved in that.
Also and i could very well be wrong but i remember a few years ago wasn't there a cap exemption of 25%-50% for one player (Marquee Player) or something along those lines?

The veteran players allowance is only $200,000 per club (raised from $100,000 in 2010), third party deals involving the club is only $300,000 per club and is also capped per player (also raised from $150,000 in 2010) ie the entire $300,000 in third party deals can't go to just one player.
 
Channel ten sport news just reported roosters are making a last minute bid to steal him from going to the sharks made no mention of wt!

Haha…struggling.
 
But Farah (through his conversations with Lewis during SOO ) and club may have known about this for a fair while and have been keeping it quiet trying to see how they fit it all under

Origin started about 9-10 weeks ago now No reason they couldn't of organized 3rd party deals in that time
 
I'd be surprised in all honesty if he hasn't already signed with the Sharks. The momentum is with the sharks. The indications in the media today & yesterday has him linked with Cronulla.

If last minute offers from the Roosters and Bulldogs are making him baulk, then it's not looking good for us 😢 You either want to come here or not - money shouldn't matter that much, especially as they're all offering round about the same figure - heaps!

Bit not all players can attract 3rd party sponsors. Obviously it's the higher profile players that do

If you have good management you will be amazed at the amount of players on 3rd party deals. I believe the Broncos have 20 players on 3rd party deals. It is the legal way to cheat the salary cap. From my understanding since Harry come back as major sponser the Tigers have the most 3rd party deals in Sydney.
 
Why are we saying dogs are offering more when they are already out of the race the only teams that are after him are eels dragons raiders and roosters. But its between tigers and sharks but peaple are now saying his comming to the tigers hopefully.

I wouldn't take much notice Flip, he's probably just curious to see what they are offering. I wouldn't hang my hat on all the players acting very chummy with him after the game though. For we know it could have just been upper thigh kissing on our part. Let me put it this way, i've never seen them act like that with anyone else we were playing against who was coming the next yr, Anasta for example.

Just remember this could be his last contract he signs , so he would want to make the right choice Flip

I hope Lewis was watching the Shire, that would be enough to turn anyone off the place

I like it!!

Problem is many of the footy players that player for the sharks, and probably the panthers too, fit into that dumbass bogan stereotype, the main difference being the fake tan..
