Yeah that would be about right .... Eastern Suburbs Rorters on $69 grand.

Why .... do you doubt it Kwai Chang Caine ?

Self reporting at it’s finest. But let’s just look on the bright side for a moment.

At least no one at NRL headquarters need waste their hard earned on purchasing any brown paper bags.

I'm gathering our third parties were mostly tied up in the TV Networks ie: Gallen, Wado and Chad

Nope. That is just secondary employment. TV networks can't get involved in third parties. They are directly involved in the game.

$211,000 would have been mostly Gallen e.g. Lonsdale.

I didn't know that about the networks.

nrl.com said:
Third party agreements are payments made by companies directly to players. There is no restriction on the amount a player can earn through third party agreements where he is being paid for his own intellectual property, without the need to employ club logos or names and where the company involved is neither a club sponsor nor are they acting on behalf of a club to secure the player's services. An example of this is a player promoting a brand or product, for example, Billy Slater and Australian Bananas.

All third party agreements must be registered and approved beforehand. This is to ensure that they do not become a way for clubs or players to use sponsors or third parties to undermine the salary cap and also for the game to ensure the protection of club and game intellectual property. There are provisions for club sponsors to enter into agreements with elite players under the Marquee Player Agreement allowance.

They nearly all wear logoed gear like these snorkels.

There is probably a way around it e.g. Cronk never wore Roosters logos on FOX.
