TPAs per club “revealed”
TPAs will finally be released and the Telegraph has revealed them early
https://www.dailytelegraph.com.au/sport ... 9180cee006
The Broncos and Storm obviously have an advantage that wouldve been ridiculous under the last tv deals cap but its also clear these are no longer an excuse we can use. We have more than the Roosters.

Re: TPAs per club to be released
So the Storm were 200k over the limit?
Re: TPAs per club revealed
If we believe the Roosters are on $200,000... then the NRL truly does believe in Santa Claus! It's the season!
Re: TPAs per club revealed
Why don't we have the 2018 numbers?
Re: TPAs per club revealed
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 alleged key suggest there are 94 players benefiting from 205 agreements, 89% of which are for plain old cash which is 89% of the total 2017 TPA haul of $4.2 million dollars, or cash totalling $3.7 million. Dunno what the other half a million bucks is made up of - Coles vouchers?
The average agreement is $264k. Now I multiply that by 205 (the number of agreements) and I get 54.1 million dollars. Rather more than the 4.2 million the graph's alleged metadata claims. Ok, I may have not fully interpreted this gibberish, but even if the Daily Telegraph is trying to say that the average TPA for a PLAYER (one of the lucky 94 who have one) is $264k - let me repeat that, two hundred and sixty-four thousand dollars - the total is still $24.8 million (94 multiplied by $264k).
I would suggest that the article reveals the Daily Telegraph is unlikely to be allowed to attend high school.
Edit, ok so the Telegraph article says: "The Daily Telegraph obtained a first look of the 2018 and 2017 third-party values of every club, which will be made public today." That might suggest that the bar graph columns are for 2018, and they've whacked in the 2017 number (in a little yellow balloon instead of a line) for comparison. If that's the case, and I'm having to guess because they ain't a reputable statistical record, all that shows is that the Broncos, Storm and to a lesser extent the Cowboys are way up on their 2017 deals, and Manly and the Tigers, and particularly the Panthers, have dropped off. The Roosters are somewhat unbelievably still up to about $180k in their premiership year from around nothing in the previous one. Obviously all good...
The numbers are still hazy as all get out.

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.

Looks like Don doubled our TPAs this year though. If this trend continues, we should have 6.4m in TPAs by 2023.
Re: TPAs per club revealed
Here is the full Daily Telegraph story: https://www.dailytelegraph.com.au/sport ... 9180cee006
For the life of me, I do not understand how NRL figures like these have been leaked to The Daily Telegraph before they are published by the NRL. How does an NRL that is interested in full transparency and fairness by releasing these figures leak them to one media organisation in advance of their release?
The NRL seems to have leaked this statement from Nick Weeks of the NRL at the same time the figures were leaked to The Daily Telegraph:
“I think the data we have illustrates clearly that the volume of third-party that exists across the game aren’t as great as some people believe.
“This has been an area that created a lot of attention among fans, among the media and a lot of debate around it is inaccurate.
“So we think that by providing more transparency and accurate information, it will take some of the heat out of the debate and that will only improve our compliance with the salary cap rules.’’
Is the NRL trying to shape the debate before tomorrow?
Well I hate to disabuse Mr Weeks of the NRL. What the figures show is a HUGE loophole for some clubs... as we've always known. There's no level playing field. The salary cap is a joke.
It takes no heat our of the TPA and salary cap debate. It just confirms what we've always known.

Re: TPAs per club revealed
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 whinge regarding Milfords deal in particular.

The figures are crap, which in the case of at least one club, I know for a fact.
Son, we live in a world that has forums, and those forums have to be guarded by Mods. Who's gonna do it? You? You, Nickman? I have a greater responsibility than you can possibly fathom. You weep for Lucy, and you curse GE. You have that luxury. You have the luxury of not knowing what I know -- that GE’s moderation, while tragic, probably saved lives; and my existence, while grotesque and incomprehensible to you, keeps threads on track and under the appropriately sized, highlighted green headings.
You want moderation because deep down in places you don't talk about at parties, you want me on that forum -- you need me on that forum. We use words like "stay on topic," "use the appropriate forum," "please delete." We use these words as the backbone of a life spent defending something. You use them as a punch line. I have neither the time nor the inclination to explain myself to a man who rises and sleeps under the blanket of the very moderation that I provide and then questions the manner in which I provide it. I would rather that you just said "thank you" and went on your way. Otherwise, I suggest you get a green handle and edit a post. Either way, I don't give a DAMN what you think about moderation.
Re: TPAs per club revealed
In any case, looks like the graph is showing the 2018 figures (primarily). And guess what? There's a HUGE LOOPHOLE in the salary cap!

Re: TPAs per club revealed
It's a really **** graph, and not clear.
But look at how the 2017 "bubbles" are all positioned differently. That's where the 2017 level was.
2018 is the bar.

Re: TPAs per club revealed
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 ... t-process/
Good to see all letters of offer will have to be lodged now and any huge differences will have to be justified. I am sure the justifications accepted will mean it doesn't make much difference but it is an improvement.
I did laugh at the line in the article about the Storm only having huge TPAs because of "once in a generation talents" Slater and Smith.

Re: TPAs per club revealed
Exactly. The 2017 heading is at a different point on each series, which means that's each club's respective 2017 figure (which also shows the Storm were exactly on the 2017 cap).
Which leaves the actual bars to be the 2018 figures. It's not rocket surgery.

Re: TPAs per club revealed
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 invoices and jobs for the wife wouldn't be.

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

Re: TPAs per club revealed
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 great job he's doing.

The spiral of silence refers to the idea that when people fail to speak, the price of speaking rises. As the price to speak rises, still fewer speak out, which further causes the price to rise, so that fewer people yet will speak out, until a whole culture or nation is silenced. This is what happened in Germany.
If you do not speak, you are not being neutral, but are contributing to the success of the thing you refuse to name and condemn.

Re: TPAs per club revealed
I was sitting on the hill at Bankstown Oval watching a Sheffield Shield match a few years ago, there would have been no more than fifty people in the ground. I was the only one in earshot of three blokes sitting just along from me getting on the cans. The got louder and louder as the afternoon went on and I could hear their conversations pretty clearly. One worked in operations for the Eels, one for the Tigers and the other at the Saints.dubby wrote: ↑December 14, 2018, 7:08 am It's a list of legal TPAs.

Lets be honest everyone knows the bulldogs / roosters are pumping out money through their leagues clubs which isnt picked up here.
Re: TPAs per club revealed
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 this is the all encompassing figures, ive got some prime swamp land to sell you
Re: TPAs per club revealed
Basically the figures show TPAs give some clubs an advantage that’s worth an extra $600,000 to $800,000. The difference between the club with the lowest TPAs and the largest is almost $1 million. That’d buy an extra marquee player, a least a darn good one. How is that a level playing field.
