I've said it a few times and people here go off too. They forget that he disappears when he gets tackled a few times.

They tried to use stats and Dally M medal count but I think stats don't tell the full story. He just wafts in and out of games

People only use the Dally Ms as an argument if it suits their agenda. The rest of the time they'll talk about how rigged or random they are.

And don't forget that Tapine benefits from the no punch rule. That guy has a face that's made for punching. He's also a poor man's TPJ.

Lol echo chamber at the gh. If u say so.

I am calling things what they are. Good on brisbane for getting bird hes a great player.

But ppl dont play for canberra to play for rick. They dont play for the broncs for wayne. They play for cash.

Your club has more cash and tpps then everyone else. Whilst the rules are garbage they have every right to use it to build the best team as they can and try and win the premiership.

Same as everyone else...

But dont peddle the he came here for less money coz we are the broncos because its homerism cultish and sad.

Just like milf, he didnt leave a 900k deal on the table for 400 .. he left for 400 plus tpp whatever that was. Though i will get some great pleasure if milfs career goes down the same drain as todd carneys and this signing makes that more likely. Although really he is that talented that without the outside sources that todd had i cant see milf falling that far.

Ps i think canberras 17 on far less money is superior then u guys.. for the first time in 15 yrs.. so no salt..

Still peddling this nonsense? When we get caught for 'cheating' the salary cap, then you can i told you so, until then f*ck off with your 'tpps' and conspiracy theory garbage.

Players do actually want to play for Bennett and for top teams. It is a fact. Some we pay well, others we pay less, like any other team in the comp.

Show me one concrete piece of evidence where we have breached the top tier salary cap. Or bugger off. Could be we are amazingly taltented at cheating the cap, whereas all the teams that have been caught aren't, but one would think that with all the turnover of staff we have had at our club, including CEO's and head coaches, our secret and amazing salary cap breaching abilities would have been outed by now, and yet year after year, we aren't breached...

PS, for the record, I think our squad is stronger than Canberra's and the results 2 weeks ago bore that out.

PPS, and as for respective fans of clubs and games? At least people aren't banned on this forum for venturing an opinion outside the herd- mind at the GH...

At his best, Hodgson is definitely the 2nd best hooker in the game. It's not like McCullough has never dropped in form.

When his sample size is two whole seasons he can't afford to be down on form and still be called the 2nd best. Especially when he would only have been 3rd best last year with Ennis playing, so he's actually never been 2nd best.

Third party deals. Have a cry. You know why we * apparently * have players with such good 3rd party deals? Because we give a shit about our football.

The Gold Coast is overflowing with easy money. Rip off that guy, cash it, go bankrupt, rent a mansion and a beemer with the cash while working on the next target. People are desperate to throw their money on something that makes them look good. The Titans should be able to source way more deals than the Broncos. So why don't they? Because no one gives a shit about the Titans, or Rugby League, on the coast.

Newcastle's money tree is the mining industry, and while the pool is not only shrinking, but diluting too, there is still enough for some very high profile people to exploit it. But again, no one gives a shit. Blue collar isn't cool any more.

****, the Raiders? Why do they bother having a team there? Politicians and public servants would be outraged if they knew that people were smacking in to each other for sport. That's why they have to throw their talent net so wide. No one in Canberra gives a ****.

The Roosters? There's probably about 5 latte douchebags and one rich guy who cares. It just so happens that the rich guy has enough money and friends to do it all by himself.

Stop getting all pissy because your team can't attract outside support. If there isn't the support, should there be a team? It's the same with all the Sydney clubs, trying to have the NRL prop them up because they can't support themselves. If you can't, **** OFF. Amalgamate. I reckon you could clump together 5 or 6 teams in to one, and call them the "Greater South East Australia Irrelevants". Then you'd have the marketing power and 3rd party deals of 5 or 6 clubs combined. Yay! Might even fill a stadium.

me thinks this forum needs more raider supporters i have not had this much fun reading in years

 

[Huge]

Third party agreements......mmmmm. So, in Brisbane we have this plethora of rich folk who give bulk cash to players to come and play for the Broncos, is that right ? What do they get out of it ? Aside from seeing a rugby league club they like be successful.

This is exactly right!!!

I have never understood this fascination amongst opposition supporters, with Broncos great ability to attach TPAs. First of all, what business in their right mind would throw cash at a player, for no legitimate return? Sure you may give a player $25k to appear on an ad, but is that enough to top up from $700k to over $1m and get you to the club? You have to be doing a bloody lot of ads!

You may be lucky enough to also jag a car, wow.... Sign me up Wayne!

Where are these hundreds of rich businessmen and corporate identities that support the club, and give out unlimited amounts of cash to supposedly whoever the club wants to sign?!

You would think by now that at least one of the above, would have spoken out at some stage.....

The whole rhetoric gets boring after a while. You want a TPA to top up your deal? You better get a better manager.

It's called the NSW Origin team. Great post btw

 

[Aldo]

If we have that great an advantage, why haven't we won the last 10+ premierships? Just another reason for opposition fans to get butt hurt. What Huge and Smokin Joe said is exactly right.

 

[broncos4life]

Good to see fans like jaypee though, who are passionate about their club and footy, but arent complete homers living in a fantasy land so uber defensive that they cant see what is right in front of them.

I agree. He is clearly a very passionate Melbourne Storm fan, and that is good to see.

i tend to disagree here on the third party stuff. it would take all of 5 minutes for wayne or one of the corporate big swingers to make some calls or line a few things up. his lack of profile may limit tv ad's etc in the short term but that wouldnt stop a corporate or business stumping up some contract loot to sweeten the deal even though he may never even set foot in that business doors at all. half his luck i say.
as for lack of profile, he would be trending like mad on all media platforms at the moment so without pulling on a jumper yet i would suggest he is already top 5 bronco recognised and the broncos marketing team would be doing cartwheels and as would birds manager! he will probably be on a first class flight to the amalfi coast with all the publicity.

If Wayne makes the call it's on the cap and you are capped at $300,000 for your top 25. That's a small piece of pie.

He needs to do it himself to be cap free; which I am doubting has been done in the last week.

Potential there for sure, but picking a club would have been his priority.

Sponsors like to know you're liked first, a NSW playing in Brisbane won't have immediate results especially when you're a little stand offish.

Boyd didn't have many deals the first time round because of his personality.

Funny i got banned for making the same point Jaypee is making about milford.

The funny thing is people thinking the thoroughbreds and corporate opportunities are the same for all different clubs.

Newcastle really... North QLD niether of em would have a chance to get the same backing and TPP money into there squad regardless of success.

The way the rules are with TPPs were you can effectively have wealthy supporters of the club instead of sponsoring the club sponsor the player to artificially increase certain clubs salary cap does not make it fair for clubs without that same opportunity, and I support the first club that beat the shit out of the celery cap.

You have to be realistic about things... say we move to an 8.5 m or thereabouts cap in 2017... it will only see things get worse as the salary differentials get stretched further.

Oh and for those in fantasy land thinking bird left the current premiers to join uncle wayne, see
http://www.nrl.com/bird-joins-broncos-on-big-deal/tabid/10874/newsid/105648/default.aspx
but of course unless its from the courier mail I appreciate it isnt correct to a lot of people.

He left for more money.

Lets go to hypotheticals and think about what clubs can throw at players with the celery cap and TPPs they can arrange.

Broncos 8.5 +6.5 - 15m they used to be able to double the celery cap but it might be harder with the celery cap moving up by two mil.
Dogs 8.5 + 4.5 - 13m
chooks 8.5 + 4 - 12.5m
Then there would be a big drop off with maybe the raiders and panthers doing well with gould and ricky bringing a lot in.. mybe the eels as well, but they seem to retarded to organise TPPs properly without cheating.

Also i wouldnt be surprised if the warriors werent doing well with tpps.

Then down the bottom somewhere you would have clubs like the tigers and newcastle.

probably going to be working off 10m at best.

Congrats on the broncos picking up bird though, one can only hope the powers to be start changing the farce that it is TPPs.

1 x fast rule - if you give a TPP to x player at y club, you can keep sponsoring that y player but no other players from y club, nor can any of your related parties /entities. Also free up tax returns with the NRL.

Simples.

Or make a cap like the nba no funny bugger tpps but you can go over it you just have to be transparent and pay the tax / repeater tax.

That way the broncos can spend 30m on players if they like, but if they stink it up like brooklyn nets, they can cop it from other fan bases.

Good to see fans like jaypee though, who are passionate about their club and footy, but arent complete homers living in a fantasy land so uber defensive that they cant see what is right in front of them.

You're talking about deals arranged by the club and that's already capped- you can't spend the figures you're talking about.

Hey joe ! Whats your thoughts on jack coming and his playing position ? Can you see milf being the dominant half ?
