Raiders player signing speculation 2018

[edwahu]

I note Roy Masters wrote this morning that the Broncos third party deals now exceed the entire rest of the NRLs combined. Shows what we are up against to sign the top tier talents.

That’s hilarious if true

Could that be true?? Anyone got a link to the article?

I would believe more than any other club.
I would believe double that of any other club.
Triple would be stretching it.
More that all other NRL clubs combined... that has to be a stretch.

unfortunately the nature of the TPAs mean that this sort of article can't be proven/disproven. And people other than bronco's fans will want to believe its true so it gains traction

The Broncos are capable of anything....

I wonder how much tpa Milford is earning. He knocked back $1.1 mill with us for $450k under the Broncos cap

Is a free house for your parents a TPA?

The NRL could prove or disprove it pretty quickly.

It would be odd for Roy to make it up.

BJ Mole reports that Anthony Milford’s 3rd Party shoelaces deal at the Broncos worth more than entire Raiders TPA’s.

to be fair Milford's shoelaces have received more FTA coverage than the Raiders squad combined.

No that's just cheating.

The proposed clamp down on TPA will almost make The Thoroughbreds redundant. No longer can they simply top up a players salary so the Broncos salary cap isn't affected.

I'd like to believe that, but I simply don't believe the NRL will produce that outcome. Their management of the competition has been a complete debacle.

They'll have a way around it in the week, and the NRL will do nothing. We need to get our head around it, folks - the NRL don't WANT an equal comp. They want high capital city TV ratings on a Friday and Sunday night. So, at very least, they need a strong Brisbane and a minimum of one popular, dominant Sydney team.

We always look at this from completely the wrong perspective.

Hard to argue, but we should never give up pressing the NRL for an actual free and fair comp.

Tbh I mainly complain about it now so any random Bronco fan lurking here checks their priveliage.

Rumours doing the rounds that the Bulldogs have to still release a player and most likely it will be Tolman.
Not that we can afford him but he would be handy.

If it's TV they want, expand the game to Perth and Adelaide. Then you have all time zones and capital cities covered, plus NZ.

Tolman is a very handy dude.

Tolman would be perfect for us.

Can produce big big minutes at prop and would provide perfect platform to break up Paulo and Boyd.

Can tackle all day long in the middle which will be handy without Hodgson there this season.

I agree scotchy, Tolman might be great for our cohesion..

[dubby]

Tolman is 30 this year. He'll probably stay at the dogs or go to the ESL.

I will go out on a limb here and say Albert Kelly is worth a shot. He is a lot bigger than he was before he left NRL but still has the speed and skill. Put on sone bloody good shots too.

Dogs would need to pay a large chunk of his salary .....

I noticed Tyler Cornish played for Mounties in their trial today. Bill Cullen as well which suggests he didnt make the top 30.

People whinged about Fensom. Tolman is the same guy. We are better served trying Hunt, Makatoa or Knight.

Am I mistaken in thinking this takes me back to circa 2008(?) when I'm pretty sure on this very thread we were hoping to pick up a young Tolman and a Joel Moon? Anyway just reminiscing

He’s been worth a shot since he debuted. Deadset the most natural five-eighth to play the game in a long time.

@Raiders Lim!,
Yes, I remember that well too.

Me either. I don't think anything official has been announced.

The NRL finally published some TPA numbers, excluding marquee and NRL sponsor deals. Top 3 are Storm (790k), Broncos (550k), and Panthers (550k) then it trails off pretty quickly to under 100k. Total is 3.7m and there is another 6m excluded for the marquee and NRL sponsors.

Definitely some rubbery figures but as you'd expect the situation has improved a lot under the new cap and since Parra got done. Marquee is also legacy I believe so that should improve.

So we may need a new excuse.

NRL talking to clubs to publish figures on TPAs

The NRL will retain third-party agreements outside the salary cap but is considering publishing the total amount each club's players earn through private sponsorship deals.

Club chief executives were last week shown a breakdown of third-party agreements, which revealed only three clubs had players whose combined earnings from private sponsorships exceeded $500,000 in 2017.
