Can't find the answer to this anywhere but a mate told me he thought Third Party Agreements were capped at $150,000 per player. I thought as long as the Third Party wasn't involved with the club (and don't some clubs rort this system) their was no limit to what an individual player could make by way of Third Party Agreements.
Again I am not against players getting paid what they are worth, was just wondering how much can be by way of Third Party Agreements.
One thing I was thinking about if you have a current player on your books and you tell the NRL you offered him for example $600,000 under the Salary Cap per season, the NRL should insist any other club that buys him must have him in the Salary Cap at a minimum of $600,000. This would stop clubs paying players $700,000 to get a player from another club but put him in the Salary Cap at $400,00 and have the remaining $300,000 as Third Party Agreements (in reality this is just helping some clubs legally cheat the salary cap and disadvantages clubs that produce good players but without the same Third Party money available).
