I thought that TPA's had to be from someone/business not associated with the club.
That's why Harry couldn't provide TPA's.
I could be wrong.

Our good mate Geo posted this back in 2015 about TPAs - don't know if it is still the same.


"Clubs can offer TPA's from Club affiliated sponsors up to an amount (currently 600k I beleive) on top of the salary cap...this can also be cars boats etc and can be spread to anyone in the playing group..."

Sorry mate, do your research. Guess again. Nat Butcher played junior footy with South Sydney, Hargreaves with Manly, Collins Brisbane Broncos, & Tupou with Parramatta. Only Manu, Radley & Mitchell Rooster juniors & Mitchell wont have a bar of them. . Development club my bum. Cheating rorters .

Roosters, Storm etc do it correctly if you ask me.
Trying to bring a kid from under 13s through to first grade is a hard task. Buying gun 16/17 year olds and then preparing them for first grade makes you a developer.

JWH was a pretty high profile (if young) signing, but the others were all picked up around 20yo or younger and debuted in FG with the roosters.
All you've mentioned have gone on to become rep players (bar Butcher).

How many promising 20 year olds have we signed only for them to fizzle out completely?

Yes they no doubt have some creative accounting going on, but their player development systems are excellent and there's no reason why we shouldn't aspire to the same.

Of all the things that never happened, I didn’t hear of 100% of them.

Unlike others, if I haven’t heard, I don’t make things up.

again, if you didn’t hear it from me or @THE_POM its fake news……….although…….I can confirm that someone else has posted something correct in the last 10 pages

Hint……..it’s not Munster by Wednesday
