Eels Salary Cap MK II

[IFR33K]

Lol. Like yours makin shit up about Blake Ferguson?

We are forever in your debt.

So he wasn't signed by the roosters as a recruitment officer to pay him outside of the cap for the following year?

 

[T.S Quint]

The reason a company becomes a major sponsor is to get their name out there as much as possible. They are paying for our club to be referred to as the Dyldam Parramatta Eels. Other clubs do the same.

It was an official press release from the club. Of course they were going to refer to themselves as such.
Not sure why Kent need to point that out in his article. Other than the fact he's a merkin that is.

It was def a minimum wage gig probably similar or less than what we were paying Hoppa while he was bike riding.

The NRL approved the appointment after it was satisfied Ferguson was on a modest salary that would not provide the Roosters with any salary cap advantage should the club try to register him in the future.

He wasn't even employed as a recruitment officer. It was a community based role which means he would have went to schools/junior league clubs/functions promoting rugby league and the Roosters. Stop making shit up.

Lol. I'm sorry my memory has failed me. What's with people coming on here only to argue or talk down to people?

You came on here making outrageous statements that Blake Ferguson was on 600k as a recruitment officer. None of that was true. What do you expect people to respond with? Do you expect people to just accept everything you say as gospel?

Yeah, because it was very outrageous.... The whole point of my post was that a club took advantage of a situation, to sign a player. Which seems like a loophole in the system. Who was asking you to take what I say as gospel???? Like I said, I'm pretty sure I read it or the figure somewhere. And I'm sorry if I was wrong. But no need to carry on like a twat about it.

Yes how dare a Team point out their naming right sponsors.
Kent has well and truly lost the plot reading that muddled reply. :lol:

 

[strider]

We are probably contractually obliged to refer to ourselves as the Dildo Eels in all releases we post on our website .... Kent is just being a dick

Carrying on? I didn't call you names. I called you out on a made up post. As did a few other people. Of course people are going to argue with you when you make stuff up to suit your argument

Yes carrying on. Despite many people coming here to argue, I ain't one of them. I have other things I'd rather do with my life. You simply could of posted your link without your assertive manner.

But, each to there own I guess...

 

[Poupou Escobar]

IFREEK, I agree they used a loophole to sign him outside the cap. It just wasn't quite as massive as you remembered reading somewhere.

Yeah you've never attacked Jake for something he posted.

Lol.

Maybe not pou. But the NRL stated it was to a modest salary (going by the link noise posted) which they don't believe the roosters were using to their advantage if they decided to sign him as a player in 2015.

My question now is, since when do the NRL care or govern what clubs can pay their employees?? Of course it was used to their advantage.

I imagine we consulted the NRL when determining how much we could pay Hoppa when he was on his Mormon mission

Well I'm not sure.

I might take a wild stab in the dark though and suggest that, just possibly, it was around the time they inroduced the salary cap.

I could be wrong though.

If he was a contracted player during his mission, I don't think there would of been a limit to his salary, as long as we were cap compliant. If it was counted towards the cap (assuming it was) I guess we would of paid whatever cap space we had for that year.

Is there any other role we could of paid hoppa in 2012 and 2013 apart from a player???? Let's not forget we had coaching staff making regular visits to him, and iirc setting up a gym for him.

My question was about Ferguson being signed as an employee to the club (officer of some sort), not as a player.

 

[I'm a loser baby...]

Not obvious what changes can be made (other than removing the cap). I guess they could make it a requirement that all registered 3rd party agreements must include a positive statement by the player and TP and (perhaps) club attesting to the fact that this is an agreement between the TP and the player that, in the case of default, the player's club cannot act to secure payment of amounts in arrears, and nor can the player of their manager attempt to induce the club to do the same. But, I doubt it would do much good unless the CBA was changed.

The cap is a problem. Scrap the comp, divide all the rugby league areas into 16 or so areas of equal GDP, and no cap. Everybody's happy.
