From that article:

The Broncos and Reynolds’ manager Steve Gillis will now move to finalise his last NRL contract, which is likely to include post-football opportunities for the premiership-winning playmaker.

If that aspect of the deal is satisfied, Reynolds will stay a Bronco, to be formalised in coming days.

Umm... this is blatantly against the salary cap rules, is it not? The same thing the Tigers themselves got done for with Robbie Farah?!

I think the NRL has somewhat given up on enforcing it. Way back when Souffs had Inglis and Surgess on hundreds of $K post retirement "doing" desk jobs.

Raiders have had Sia Soliola and Jarrod Croker on the payroll in recent years (Sia previously and Toots Jr currently). I'm sure it's at other clubs too.

You can employ former players. You just can't offer it while negotiating their expected final contract while they're still playing because it will influence them to "stay loyal" for peanuts with a nudge, nudge, wink, wink in the bank statement for later on which would be an obvious cap rort if not counted under the cap.

No, just those two POS cheating clubs

Earlier in the year Dce was saying when his next contract was announced people would see it’s not about money

So two years at around one million dispells that notion

He’s going to finish his career as a pariah

Roosters back flipping on the back flipper and leaving him without another club lined up would be hilarious.

It would be truly beautiful. Roosters don't get a half. DCE stranded. Manly still in chaos... Chefs kiss

Depends on who the opportunity is with.

If it's with a third party it's within the rules and part of the Broncos playbook

I'm wondering if he'll stay at Manly if they punt Seibold? Is that where the real (coach) pressure is coming from?

What utter garbage. It is an obvious rort and its a bigger rort than Farah. So a player like Burgess, Souffs know that he only has 1 year left in him and want him for $800K for 1 year. Opposition club really wants him and offers him $1M for 3 years.

Souffs sign him for $800K for 1 year and he gets a mysterious role at the club for 4 years.

Rule 91A (1) – that any termination agreement with a player must include any future employment at that club, or any other NRL club.


In other words clubs must disclose total remuneration on what has been given, or promised, to a player and that remuneration is to be included in the cap.

 

[morley101]

Broncos wouldn't have done that with Reynolds....

It's not garbage mate. It's the rules. IF you openly offer a player work after his final contract whilst negotiating that final contract, which is what reports are saying about the Broncs offer to Reyno, that needs to be counted under the salary cap.

What you are saying is that it could be rorted by doing it secretly, which is true. But at the end of the day, it's what you can prove that counts as far as applying the rules.

In the case of Burgess and Inglis, there was no expectation at the time of negotiating their - what turned out to be - final contracts that it would be their last and they would need to be medically retired. Souths were blindsided by their sudden demise and hoped they could play on much longer than their bodies allowed. It was only after they had to medically retire did they get offered post-playing career work with the club. Big difference mate.

But sure, if clubs want to get around it, they can offer post-career work quietly and get away with it if we want to be cynical and some surely do. But if they're dumb enough to say it out loud, then the salary cap should bite.
