He’s not on an amount even close to 600k

The evil one is just playing contrarian as always to needle and get under everyone’s skin.

He needs to justify his long term trolling position that there is nothing under the cap and this is how he does it - by arguing something untrue so many times that people start to accept it.

I wouldn’t believe a word he posts.

time for a few people to beak out the old knee pads…


Yeah doubt JDB is on that much he is a 35 year old merkin that wasn't wanted by his own club.

The walking contradiction is a few hundred K off his price.

An NRL player on $400k pay approximately $140k tax including Medicare levy According to AI. They also enjoy significant tax offsets or deductions which other employers on similar money may not benefit from.

I only raise this because having had a discussion with an accountant friend (a few years ago) who has had NRL players as clients he indicated with sound management and a good accountant, investments including but not limited to property, an average earning NRL player can get away with a relatively minimal tax outcome.It would surprise many.
The more you earn, the more your accountant demands you buy investments with borrowed money.

True but him losing income to tax isnt our fault/problem. Dargs didnt want him so he didnt really have a choice but to move to sydney (or canberra) unless he retired. So i feel like we didnt necessarily need to compensate him extra for his move. I could be wrong but i feel like it still doesnt make sense wed need to pay him 600k.
Didn’t the Dragons make him an offer?

Klink he is 35 unwanted by current club (dragons) and was reported at $350 k and $400k if we took up the option , and credit to you for admitting finally you know nothing
Don’t pay attention to what was ‘reported’. They don’t know any more than you or I do. I make my assessments based on the few facts we do know, which is form and age at the time he was signed, the presence of contract options, whether the player had to play in a different city (and how expensive that city is), and the cold hard maths of minimum salary and average salary. All of these are known facts. “Reports” of a dollar figure are likely bullshit, especially since “reports” are often conflicting.

So NAS reckons he knocked back an offer of 800 large from us. Maybe we do have coin after all.
When will people learn that public statements and even facts are no match for Pou’s assumptions and agendas?

Pou has said we have nothing under the cap and if Pou has said that, then no amount of evidence otherwise can matter.

We obviously had to find something to do with Lomax’s cap space if we let him go. NAS was an option for a while there but we ended up going with a more direct replacement in Kelly (centre for wing, with Russell/Simonsson taking Lomax’s spot) then spent the difference upgrading JAC and Iongi.
