Rugby Australia to target top NRL talent - Lomax case settled

[mccarthyj367]

Not hard, why do you think these places are full of multi millionaires?
according to rto

Australian Tax Residency Tests: To be considered a non-resident for Australian tax purposes, you must satisfy the ATO's residency tests:

• The "Resides" Test: This is the primary test, based on where you ordinarily live. You must demonstrate that you no longer reside in Australia.
• The Domicile Test: You must establish a "permanent place of abode" outside Australia (e.g., buying or renting a property in Dubai under your name, not a company name). Merely being out of Australia for a set period is not enough; the ATO typically uses two years as a minimum benchmark to demonstrate permanence.
• The 183-Day Test: You must spend less than 183 days in Australia in an income year.

Kinda hard when you have a huge extended family (many of school age with social challenges) mum incarcerated, and a permanent house in Queensland.

I'm sure you believe Oscar Piastri actually lives in Monaco? Or that Pat Rafter is permanently in the Bahamas

 

[This Year?]

I still can't believe Blake Lawrie hasn't signed with Rugby yet.
Why are the ARU sitting on their hands?

Probably has been offered a contract but doesn't want a 10 year league ban from PVL if he accepts it.

Tevita Pangai Junior temporarily joins SC Leucate XV

At the end of his contract with the Catalan Dragons, he decided to stay in the south of France where his wife was expected to give birth to their child.

Totally amateur, put in contact by mutual friends, he wishes to discover and progress in rugby union.

In the future, he would like to find a professional club corresponding to his level.

Pending acceptance of his file by the FFR, he begins training today with his new Sporting teammates.

This Wednesday Tevita signed the official documents of its membership.

Leucate is a regional “amateur” team at the sixth level of the French rugby union pyramid.

I'm starting to agree with WB about this.

If the NRL loses Paps, NAS and Haas but the pay off is the collapse of Super Ruger, English Premiership, Top 14 and Union internationals .... I'm on team R360

The Club would like to thank Zac for his contribution during his time with the Eels in 2025 and we wish him all the best for the future.

 

[Canard]

I was assured by this forum, that this wasn't happening??

 

[Ruby Roundhouse]

why would a player stay in the nrl, where his earnings are capped

 

[Fangs]

Seeya Zac.

Something comforting about the fact that Lomax will be banned from darkening our towels. Like Christmas coming early.

Are the Saudis going to let him play centre?

Are the Saudis going to let him play centre?

He will demand the position.

No matter where he plays that moronic flick pass won't be getting shelved.

I mean if you had to choose one player to abandon his NRL career in the pursuit of riches, Lomax would have been paying $1.01, right?

 

[Maximus]

The whole no tax thing is being based in Dubai

And it’s not certain he would avoid Australian taxes

Lol after arguing that PNG players would be paid tax free for the last year, now you come up with this garbage. Have you finally learnt what tax residency is?

 

[Rabbit toes]

He’d take those odds too

 

[insert.pause]

The same clubs jumping up and down at the nrl to do something about the threat of r360 are the ones releasing contracted players to go to r360…

 

[insert.pause]

NRL players must be an easy target for r360 given player managers are greedy myopic merkins and most of the players are as dumb as a bag of rocks.

 

[Canard]

LU has gone from the denial to anger stage of grief now

 

[Diesel]

Like Paps, he’s releasing himself from an NRL contract to avoid a 10 year ban

 

[Wb1234]

Jeeze is this r360 thing really going to happen ?

Christmas coming early!
