Canberra Raiders prop Liam Knight signs with South Sydney Rabbitohs The Canberra Raiders have released prop Liam Knight just two weeks after the club said he was staying put. Knight has signed with the South Sydney Rabbitohs and will join their preseason on Monday. Read more: https://www.canberrati...

Good to see, especially since there is more chance of the English team having future Raiders than the Australian one.

edwahu

If it's any consolation I'd say if he showed any real ability he would've taken the first offer to go back anyway. He looks as Sydney as it gets.

Ah, I was looking at this list released by the club of the top 30: viewtopic.php?f=2&t=33085

Not sure where the difference is.

Aren't they down to 26?

I counted 27 on the contract thread.

edwahu

They're not supposed to as I understand it... they're not supposed to use TPAs as any inducement to join the club. It's legal for them to make a general introduction. They just can't be involved in any actual deals. https://outline.com/RwUzkC If a player is receiving money from any person as a way ...

With Knight leaving how many spots are left to fill?

I think it's 2 by kick off + 1 by June 30. Also potentially Rapanas replacement and 3 development players.

Even at this level of disparity the broncos and storm can afford to offer 10% extra salary to EVERY SINGLE player in their squad. Compared to other teams. And no one believes this is the full extent of the disparity either. It’s Bull and the Broncos board should be tossed for chronic underachieveme...

Clubs can introduce agents to prospective third parties, they just can't broker specific deals for specific players.

Serious question - why does the club not announce these things?

Why waste time writing a press release when they can just wait for us to work it out and the Canberra Times journo to read it on here and write about it

edwahu

We should be using our rookie contracts better for long term development. With Roache departing and with one spare i would be locking Medlyn and Westcott in and let them play a full season of ISP instead of 20’s. That has to be better than letting them play 20’s all year.

edwahu

I couldn't care less that he met the coach but clearly playing for a contract the next day shows how unprofessional the rest of his last 2 years were.

edwahu

It wouldn't surprise me if those deals are not included in the figures though, as they could be considered "game sponsor" TPAs, which are excluded from these numbers. You may also find his foxsports contract is peanuts for two years and ramps up year 3 when he is retired.

edwahu

I don’t disbelieve the figures. However the Roosters one certainly jumps out. Shows to me that Nick Politis is the best negotiator in the game. Hard not to envy and respect him, even though I also hate the club. Now that we have these figures I guess the only thing left to do is to just say clubs l...

edwahu

It's a list of legal TPAs. The issue is illegal TPAs, like the sharks self disclosed one, the Parra players getting free rent, and the DT itself stated players are getting cars they're not entitled to. This is probably just a way for Toddy Politician to remark about how the system works and what a ...

The 2017 High was also the Storm, with 800k, which also corresponds perfectly with the line!

You blokes need to go back to school.

Pretty sure you'd lose marks for having no title on the chart and chucking a legend in with a random data table. Plus spelling high wrong.

No one on here was ever going to believe them unless they fit the narrative. Its not about fitting a narrative, it's about the questions around what has and has not been included in this. Im sure the figures are accurate to what the NRL wanted to report or were able to report, but if you believe th...

edwahu

Only the Roosters raise an eyebrow but really why would they need TPAs.

edwahu

Based on the early articles on what would be released I am pretty sure these numbers don't include small contra deals, left over marquee allowance deals or whole of game deals with NRL sponsors like Telstra. I think they added up to another 4m. Everything else registered would be in there. Dodgey in...

edwahu

The average, mean, low and high in the box are per club. E.g 4.2m/16. Also the NRL site has an article with a nicer graph. https://www.nrl.com/news/2018/12/13/nrl-makes-third-party-agreements-public-and-strengthens-contract-process/ Good to see all letters of offer will have to be lodged now and any...

edwahu

It clearly shows that TPAs are not a a pre-requisite or even a major influence on success. The advantage is not even a rep players salary anymore, outside of the storm. I also think given TPAs have dropped since 2016 it shows that the advantage was huge under the old cap and that we had the right to...

edwahu

Wait what is this graph showing? To summarise: Does the positioning of the little yellow bubble with "2017" in it mean anything? If it does, what does the height of the bars in the bar graph mean? If the bubble doesn't signify anything, what on earth is the Daily Telegraph trying to convey? The all...

If we believe the Roosters are on $200,000... then the NRL truly does believe in Santa Claus! It's the season!

We wanted these numbers for years, if we are just going to not accept them we couldve saved a heap of time and whingeing and stuck to the brown paper bag angle all along.

Why don't we have the 2018 numbers?

The article says they will be released at the same time, not sure if the article behind the paywall has another chart, I got it elsewhere.

TPAs will finally be released and the Telegraph has revealed them early https://i.imgrpost.com/imgr/2018/12/13/92adc1456ca6e84a1bf9a1755c7aa805.jpg https://www.dailytelegraph.com.au/sport/nrl/nrl-to-make-backroom-deals-transparent-by-revealing-how-much-clubs-make-from-thirdparty-deals/news-story/140...

Mulholland has not impressed me much at all, but this is the sort of dude you take a stab up and expect nothing of. Grooming young kids to FGers is a bit like being a baseball hitter... even the best are going to bat well below 0.500 Yeah, I don't so much mean him as an individual player, although ...

edwahu

Another Mulholland dud.

edwahu

Why does A-League need new teams at all? It seems to be struggling to me.

edwahu

Big enough for first grade at least, basically a Rapana clone physically. I wonder if he is full time or train and trial?

edwahu

If I had a choice between 6-8th or finishing bottom 4 but signing two rep quality players without losing anyone good, I would take the latter.

edwahu

Looks like he has some League background and grew up in Canberra, played with West Belconnen before playing with the Dogs SG Ball & Under 20's.

Hopefully goes better than the last Rugby 7's player we signed.
