Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

[Fade.To.Black]

A simple way to tidy up the whole TPA thing is to count ALL TPA's as part of the cap UNLESS the TPA is not aligned to a player's club (Meaning it follows the player wherever they go).

It would quickly separate legitimate TPA'S from cap rorting TPAs

Umm thats the currnet rule

Then why is TPJ supposedly banging on about the club he signs with, needs to meet his current TPA’s as well?

He’s not He wants the value of those paid in his salary..ie a guaranteed..

Someone on here said the TPA’s should follow, because that’s the rules? Is that not the case?

Also, can a TPA be stopped, say mid term for any reason, by the the entity who initiated the TPA?

TPA's are meant to be free from the club so can have any clauses the company and player agree to. I don't think it would be uncommon for a Brisbane based company to have a clause that would want the player in Brisbane. They company would lose the value of the TPA if the player is no longer in Brisbane, why would they want to sponsor a Sydney based player?

Yep, that’s what I thought, so if what we are hearing about TPJ is true, he wants his now missing TPA money included in a new contract, then that could be a sizeable increase? Oh well, it is what it is.

We don’t do TPA’s as far as I know, do you know why?

The TPA’s you are talking about no clubs do.. that is for a the player and or manager to source..

I saw an ad the other day with Munster. Addo-Carr and Welsh..can’t remember what for but they had no Storm gear on.. it’s independent of the Storm..

What about the Musashi ad where Munster is shown in a shirt with the Storm logo on it? I thought individual TPA's couldn't feature any clubs apparel/logo etc?

But do we want to be winners or the nice club

It's not about being "nice". It's about recruiting players of good character who will sacrifice for the greater good.
Melbourne are the template.
They recruit players who are willing to do a job for the team. The no dickhead policy creates unity and a sense of team. It creates a winning club.

Mickey Mouse covid laws please. He’s not a criminal. I’d sign him ASAP. Not everyone believes the media and government Covid propaganda people should respect that. Don’t we have any freedoms anymore?

Is that what you think this is about?
Do you think it might be about a player deliberately breaking a law, putting his club and the competition in jeopardy?
Could it be about reckless, selfish, repeated infractions by the same player?
This is not the political thread or the anti vaxer thread or the doomsday prepper thread.

How dare a bloke have some people over his house lock him up. Don’t believe everything you see in the media


Was the rule part of his employment? Was the rule in place so that his whole industry wouldnt be shut down?

If you believe that. Step in his shoes try view the world with eyes that think Covid is rubbish.

No one is forcing him to play RL for a living. I'll ask again, was it a rule of his employment? Was the rule there to prevent his industry shutting down and therefore jeopardising the pay of all players?

“From Fox NRL: ‘Stupid, unexplainable, irresponsible’: Dumped Vaughan’s grovelling apology”

Whether we like it or not, rules are rules and I am surprised you would risk such a huge salary to break them?

He's lost $800k because he couldn't wait a few weeks to have some beers with his mates. What an idiot! I'd isolate for 3 years for $800k lol

Sorry mate but you are presenting a pretty stupid argument TBH. It's not too much different than morons who say "screw the law, nobody can make me wear a seatbelt in the car" and these same morons who think they are rebelling against the system of oppression get thrown through the windscreen and into a gum tree when they have an accident.
Not everyone likes rules and agrees with them, but if you want to ignore them then shut up when you cop your whack and your consequences. It's that simple.

Of course, and if I broke a rule of my employment, I'd expect to be sacked.

It’s just so hypocritical with de belin still prancing around all the other wife beaters and other players that have done much worse. But because the media tells us we have to hate in this bloke everyone does does his wife and kids really deserve to cop all these media pressure now it’s sickening

Well - there's the Furniture Store. We could maybe pick up a lock, some Bookends, a Fridge with ice - but avoid the Lazy Susan even if it's on Special!

I’m defending rights and hypocrisy. You keep warm cuddled with the media lies that make you feel safe and judge others because you think you are so perfect at this present moment.

Everyone understands that having a BBQ with your mates isnt the crime of the century. Everyone with half a brain also understands how much of a privilege it is to get paid hundreds of thousands to play footy whilst many other peoples businesses are closed and going broke and how fragile that privilege is because one moron could bring it all down and a sport and business responsible for 10's of millions and thousands of jobs could be stopped tomorrow, just like many other businesses.

Agree but it’s the government fault small business is bleeding not Paul Vaughan. Government are making all these laws.
