Salary Cap - Top 5...

[Geo]

With all the talk of signings for 2015 or lack there off it got me thinking who are our top 5 paid players and TBH I could only come up with 3…

1\. Farah
2\. Woods
3\. Blair
4\. ???
5\. ???

Perhaps those wiser than I or with more knowledge could fill in the gaps....Cause when you look at our roster with so much youth we must be paying massive overs to some....

Any help appreciated...

yes when u compare our squad with THE DOGS, THE ROOSTERS THE STORM AND ONE OR TWO OTHERS it makes u wonder how much we have paid to keep a bunch of kids that have not done anything yet.

 

[walterwhite]

1.Farah
2.Woods
3.Blair
4.Lawrence
5.Tedesco

Not in that order but as of next year they are the highest paid players in our cap

Brooks and Moses are on $400k from memory, and pretty sure Galloway is well over $300k.

We had to fight the Storm for Marty, so I am thinking $350 plus, and Moltzen I believe is up over the $300k too.

So, with the players named 1, 2 & 3, I would guesstimate we have $4 million sewn up in 8 players excluding Lawrence and Tedesco who between them likely add another $800k plus.

Doesn't leave much room for the rest….

Moses a 19yo who hadn't played a FG game till late in the year on 400K…..that'll do me

People need to learn that they need to separate what a players contract might be and what their salary cap value is

Two completely different fish

3\. Blair 500k
4\. Tedesco 450k

Some Examples Blair probably a TPA , maybe a car

Tedesco Studies for his degree ,car possibly ,tpas possibly (well supposedly but they can't organize one in 6 months worth of trying )

What their contract might be and his salary cap value might be (like we hear about with the Roosters ,Dogs ,Storm etc ) could be literally poles apart

Lawrence had his contract back ended BIG TIME by Sheens when he signed on for 5 years. Worst decision Sheens made. Lawrence is not a FG player and hasn't been so for 2 years now.

In 2015, he will be on $500k-$550k!

WAAAAAAYY TOO MUCH!

To be fair on Lawrence, when we re-signed him he was a Test player who looked to be breaking into the NSW side at any moment, then he did his hip, had extended hamstring problems as a result and it all went downhill. Can understand why they paid what they did at the time.

This is the risk of investing in players long term. As you've said Benji, he was 18th man in the NSW origin side and had already wore Australian colours. He had a bright future that has been cruelled by injury. Back-ending his deal was a mistake but I can understand why he hasn't pulled up stumps if the bulk of his money is still owed to him, especially if he doesn't get offered another contract.

Question
Do they still make brown paper bags.
Or do they just come in certain colours. Like red white and blue.

That would be my guess too. Lawrence is backloaded, Blair is on good coin as Teddy will be next year, Woodsy was upgraded and Farah would be the highest paid player easily.

Third party agreements mean the other richer clubs with better connections can often pay players twice what their salary cap value is. While they may only have a few hundred k under the cap another couple hundred k outside or in other assets would more than satisfy those players.

It's the nrl's fault for allowing TPA's which creates an uneven playing field!

Add to that, the fact that teams that aren't challenging for a premiership have to pay more for players to stop them leaving for other clubs with better premiership chances for the same cash. Think if you could earn the same money at 2 clubs and one gave you a great chance to win a comp and the other didn't, which would you chose? Add tot hat the salary sacrifice players may make at successful clubs to help keep the team together and enhance future prospects..!

 

[Tiger_Watto]

Is Tedesco actually signed yet?

 

[tig_prmz]

Nope

Players don't earn anywhere as much as you think they do, or the media reports. If you add up the reported salaries every team in the comp would be 2 mil above the cap. Often reported salaries include or possible bonuses which of course are rarely all achieved.

3rd party deals are not as prevalent or as rich as people think (excluding those with media arrangements which obviously can be lucrative in their own right)

To be classed as a 3rd party arrangement the player should receive the payment whether they were part of the club or not and the payer is not allowed to be related to the club (in theory anyway) Most 3rd party arrangements are around things like Boots sponsors or something that benefits the 3rd party.

Groups like the Thoroughbreds in my mind seem to flagrantly break the 3rd party rules and the roosters roster looks suspicious. A former player at the roosters on the drink one night implied that his payments were at times dubious.

 

[balmain boy]

I'm sure they're not so common Goose, but clubs like the Roosters, Souths, Broncos, Dogs and Storm would be using TPA's to the max extent possible. i have no doubt about that! Other clubs? Possibly not.
