Crazy Johns offers $1m to play who scores 5 tries in GF

[philstorm]

Just on The Today Show.

Obviously he knows there's no chance of it happening and it's just a cheap publicity stunt, but i'd laugh so hard if someone did it and he was forced to pay up.

 

[Skinner]

Be keen to see how any club would fit that under the cap......

 

[philstorm]

He's done the same thing with the AFL Grand Final (if a player kicks 10 goals).

Would come under the cap or is it more 'prizemoney'?

 

[eels_fan_01]

Its pretty crazy but if one team gets over the top of another, who knows? Maybe say Inglis will have scored 4 and if they are winning by 40 someone hands it to him to get the 1 mil.

 

[Kurt Angle]

Serious, teams could rig that.

If the club wanted the 1 million as part of its own kitty, guys who are good at backing up, say Stewart or Slater will just call out every single try opportunity.

 

[philstorm]

I'm thinking the most likely players would be Folau, Turner, Bell or even Watmough.

Players can seek third party offers with companies that aren't linked to their club without the assistance of their club, and it won't come under the cap.

if the game is a blow-out the 34 players should come to an agreement to allow a player on the winning team to score 5 tries...1mil 34ways is just under 30k each

Two teams came to an agreement in '09...one reneged and got a premiership. :lol:

 

[marshall stalin]

great if a player does score 5 tries and takes the money his club is automatically disqualified due to breaching the salary cap and are stripped of the premiership. Of course the runner up cannot be awarded the premiership either so in 2007 there would be no premiers.

fitting i feel as the season has been the worst as has the final series.

come on some one score 5 tries

But isn't crazy John a Manly Sponsor?

 

[Stormboyz]

Crazy John is an attention whore who says a lot but does little when it comes to sport. he has constantly sprouted off about joing the Richmond board in the AFL, but never puts his money where his mouth is.
Just another Crazy John idea of grabbing some free publicity because everyone knows tha nobody will score five tries in the NRL or kick 10 goals in the AFL.

 

[Von]

Yeh just another cheap publicity from Crazy John!. This is the same bloke who took Crazy Ron to court and forced him to change his name to "Mad Ron", even though Crazy Ron existed on the Gold Coast BEFORE Crazy John!! It would be funny though if someone did score five!!

Only person to do it in a semi final is Francis "Frano" Meli for the Warriors.

Cheers,
"Crazy Von"

 

[gorilla with a shotgun]

shouldnt he offer $1 mill to a charity rather then players who will earn millions through out their careers? I think it would be a better way to promote his business.

I hope some1 does score 5 tries and sum1 does kick 10 goals jsut so he is 2 mil down

 

[Sea_Eagles_Rock]

No.

 

[Sea_Eagles_Rock]

When was the last 5 try effort in a match?

After tax, the $1m wouldn't be worth anywhere near as much. Most players would be on the highest bracket before that even kicked in.

 

[Lego_Man]

LOL at the tards who think this would come under the salary cap. If i walked up to menzies and gave him a 20, would that come under the cap. Anyway, itd be great if it did happen. Also it would probably be deemed a "gift" so normal tax rules would not apply.

 

[Munky]

Also it would probably be deemed a "gift" so normal tax rules would not apply.

Does it count as a gift if you have met criteria to earn it?

I thought man of the match awards were declared to be ordinary income even if from a third party, this would be pretty similar. The player would be using their skills for commercial advantage.

Can't remember which case set the precedent. EDIT: Kelly's case

Here is the ATOs view on such payments http://law.ato.gov.au/atolaw/view.htm?Docid=TXR/TR199917/NAT/ATO/00001

 

[C u next time]

crazy john may as well as right that cheque to brett stewart now

 

[Mr Saab]

When was the last 5 try effort in a match?

I think 2003. Francis Meli vs the Dogs in the 1st week semi
