Rumours and Stuff

Bird just needs a seed to be planted to get him thinking about maybe flying the Brisbane coup... James Roberts did it... Why wouldn't Jack? Birds of a feather after all as they say....

He has to pay tax on the other $700k as well. The differences between gross and net of tax for the 2 scenarios for him will be identical over 5 years.
And rents only a factor if he’s boarding for free with his parents like some looser. The differences in rent for the properties in Brisbane/Sydney he’d be looking at would be shit all. Or even smarter, if he had 5 year contract, is he throws his 20% to buy a home in downturned Sydney, his income would quickly offset the bugger all interest rate of an owner-occupier mortgage, then in 5 years if he wanted to move back home he could sell it tax free in a likely moving to peak market. He could do that in Brisbane too but the 5 year tax free gains in Sydney will shit over Brisbane

I’m sold, Hindy said he’d pay for the both of us.

 

[TheRam]

How much would it take to bring him here??? And is he even worth that sort of coin???

Probably not, but how else do you attract quality players when you are Parra?

How would the tax free capital losses compare

A person of his income would only make a capital loss either because he wanted to or out of idiocy

It really doesn't matter how you dice it with the donkeys, if Boyd is sitting at Red Hill chewing up 800k of cap for the next couple of years, and you count the significant upgrades to keep their pack together, their go forward might well be awesome when all are fit, but their back line, spine and halves will be sub par and their depth will be sorely tested when the inevitable injuries or suspensions occur.

Even if they somehow manage to get Boyd's contract off their books, the problem there is not that they are paying a spine player 800k, it's that they are getting poor value, and if he's gone they need to replace him in the halves or at fullback, and they need to replace him with quality. That's not gonna be cheap.

Now Boyd might take a pay cut, but he aint about to completely walk away from $1.6 million "for the good of the team". Particularly when one considers he's got f**k all chance of ever making up for that kind of loss of income post footy.

Didn't his misses tweet that he is going no where? She knows exactly what Darius is capable of earning post football.

True, especially with our coach.

 

[TheRam]

All those upgrades you have mentioned come into effect next year. So it is irrelevant who they released this year. We don’t know who the Broncos release at the end of this year. That’s what will count. They don’t have to finalize their squad / salary cap until February

I thought the NRL won't register a contract if you are, including the new contract, going to be over the salary cap. You must be in accordance of the cap when registering every contract. That way they head off previous stuf ups.

Insta, but same thing , so yeah.

 

[TheRam]

Good point about him playing edge forward.

Mate, he can't get through games playing in the centres and you want to stick him in the forwards. Genius.

Do forwards get injured more often than outside backs? It's news to me.

 

[emjaycee]

Would be throwing 800k a season now at Fafita!

We did already.
And he will stay at Broncos for a "fair offer", not necessarily the highest offer.

 

[TheRam]

It's not straight out injury comparison that I am referring to. It is the harsher and more often brutal wear and tear on their bodies. But you would know that already.

Also if I had to take a guess, I would say that yes forwards probably do get more injuries then backs generally. More collisions would do that right?

The speed of the collisions would also be a factor. Of the nine Eels who have missed a quarter of the season or more through injury, only three (Brown, Ma'u and Stone) are forwards.

Teeny weeny sample size mate.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

It's not the size of the sample, it's how you use it. But if you've got a bigger sample let's see it.

Well obviously the rest don't run or tackle f**ken hard enough... there's our problem still. Powderpuff forwards.

So, at best in that circumstance the difference b/w cities is zero. In the long run you (or your beneficiaries) sell. The upside is bigger in Brisbane.
