Q. How do you stop the brown paper bags or the game of golf with the chairman at 50 grand a hole?

A. You don't...

Agreed, A flutter at the casino, a day at the races, cash incentive man of the match etc Tpas are One! part of the story, but Brown paper bags is another beast altogether.

There are many loopholes in the salary cap structure game sponsorship being just one, which is unlimited as far as I read.
Politis once said, that the Roosters are just better nanagers if the cap, and whilst I believe there are some very dodgy deals that have been done, the salary cap structure allows for it in its interpretation.
The more interesting fact is that we are 9th on the list, not last.

Everyone in the NRL keep saying it now a business. Music to Uncle Nicks ears!

So because the Rorters have 'supposedly' not got much in the way of third party agreements. That's somehow supposed to dispel any question they are playing silly buggers with their books...
Shouldn't it raise more questions that they somehow manage to align all these stars, without significant third party deals? Come the f**k on!

The whole TPA and whole of game sporsorship is a joke. The salary cap was supposedly designed to create a level playing field while the rich clubs just find more ways to exploit these loopholes at the expense of the poorer clubs. It's so bad that even the NRL are getting in on it with this whole of game sponsorship.
No wonder there are only 3 or 4 teams that have a real shot at a premiership.
Whole of game my arse!

A betting agency is a major sponsor of the NRL.
If only the Dragons had there logo on the back of the jersey.
Happy days, apart from kids getting battered with gambling adds during the telecast.
