Your question was one of a fool and now you're all over the shop trying to defend it.

I fail to see how, he asked how many of the ex Roosters players at the Cowboys were Rooster juniors. While it's an irrelevant question, it's a clear one.

Lol, there's only one person here all over the shop. I asked a straight forward question and you fired up.

Tamou and Moga are the only two that I thought could be considered Roosters juniors and I'm genuinely curious about the others. Mainly Kostjasyn, Asiata and Uele and I'm not sure when Bowen left NQ for Sydney.

Continue flipping out over nothing.

Folau -> Broncos

Bennett returning the Broncos star pulling power already. If we get Folau and Gagai ( rumoured to have signed from 2016 ) then our backline will be the best in the game by a long way.

Cant see that happening without releasing a lot of players.Folau would be looking for close to $1 million a season and Gagai probably $300,000 plus a year,add in Boyd and Milford and theres a 3rd of your cap nearly gone there let alone all the others.

I don't think Bennett is finished with his clean out just yet to be honest. There will be some that will need to seriously lift their game to remain at the club. Add to the fact that Hodges would on his last contract you would expect, Parker won't be far behind, it wouldn't take much to back end a deal for someone like Folau, plus there is the fact that the NRL will chip in with either cash or cap exemptions to get the likes of Folau back into the NRL.

Gagai we could probably score for less than that, mainly due to the third party chances for him, which as much as other fans hate it, is a huge factor and with Bennett back in charge as well will enable us to land talent much cheaper that our rivals.

We would be entitled to the same NRL help as any other club in getting Folau back to the NRL. Add Bennett and the third party deals he could land as a Bronco and we could easily snare him for less than any other club would have to fork out under the cap.

I still think you will have to prove what 3rd party is being used for,otherwise whats to stop James Packer saying all the souths squad are ambassadors for crown are paying them all $200-300,000 a season extra?Would businesses in Brisbane really pay Gagai to promote them when they could have Hodges,Thaiday,Foalu?,Milfordetc.

Being an owner he can't, much in the same way a third party sponsor of a player can't be a club sponsor otherwise it counts in the cap.

Some companies can't afford the likes of Hodges, Thaiday ect, and that's the beauty of the Broncos being the only Brisbane team, there is even extra money to be had for the players that aren't the Hodges, Milford, Thaiday type player as well.

That's not true.... Club sponsors can enter TPAs with players... Which don't count against the cap

Thought there was a cap on the amount of $$$$ a club sponsor can throw at players???

Surely the recent f**k up with third party agreements and the 450K that went missing up there would ne enough of a red flag to have player managers advising their clients against accepting deals that are weighted heavily with TPA $$$$$.

The 3rd party system is the death of the salary cap by stealth.
Open slather now ladies and gents.
No limits.
