Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

My source with knowledge of the situation talking on the condition of anonymity says we'll never know exactly the amount AD was offered by the Dragons nor what we accepted from us, so gloves down lads.

It is funny though in a few Insta stories from team mates including Tito this arvo to congratulate AD, was the money emoji lol Maybe he's our very own Rod Tidwell "show me the money"!

Adam Doueihi, our very own money man.

St.George realised that they didn't really need him because they've already got their very own money man.

Doueihi is a genuine utility who is also a good athlete with size, power, pace and a good long kicking game. The latter is a asset we've never utilised to the fullest. He also has an uncatchable high kick. From memory he was a schoolboy international rugby player.

Not disagreeing with much of what you have just stated but I would like to see that uncatchable high kick, been a while since I've seen one unless he's snuck in a few when I wasn't watching.

Would love to see one or two of those at a minimum every game.

That would be OK; if we made a deal with AD. However, if the deal meant Wests Tigers could offer "unders" then it is a breach. There has to be complete separation of the the third party and the club. For example; we couldn't chat with Richo and say that if AD signs for X tell him that we'll top him up with a thrid party advertising deal worth 100K; but,, we could approach AD directly, or post contract signature, and offer him an 100K advertising deal as a means to increase our market exposure. While similar in nature it is the invovement of the club that differentiates what is and isn't included in the cap.

If you did a 3 year third party deal with Adam Doueihi and in the 3rd year he went to New Guinea you would technically still be obliged to pay him, it is supposedly strictly a deal between the 3rd party sponsor and the player, nothing related to a particular club and applicable regardless of which team he is playing for.

That's my understanding at least.

The ball is very steep and drifted before drifting was common place in the NRL. I first saw it when he played 7 in the Balmain SG Ball team against the Sharks at Shark Park. The Sharks I believe won the premiership but their fullback and wingers I don't believe caught a ball all match.

Spot on - if the club is invoved it is not a TPA and it is part of his salary and in the cap.

I believe you can sponsor a player conditional of them being at a club. If you are a local business it would only make sense you want to sponsor a local player.
The only example I can really remember in the media is Parra BMW sponsoring Moses. It was reported when before re-signing with eels that if he were to leave he'd have lost his car.
I believe it is a breach (in this example) if Eels asked BMW to sponsor Moses.
