Turbo may well be a 1 million dollar player, but currently there is only one forward in the game getting that sort of cash and that is Taumalolo. Jake will no doubt need a decent upgrade but I don't believe it will be one that pushes him to that level of salary.

Crichton is on a million a year.. haha what a lemon

With cherry on the books I can't see how we can offer the bros million dollar deals a year and keep the likes of AFB and Taupau etc. and be premiership threats??

Tom is already on 900K so pretty much there, Jake was 700K so not too far off.

I think they meant salary cap, not golf proceedings

His reportedly on a million though isn't he?

I think being privately owned is a big advantage here.

No private owner is going to let his best assets go anywhere.

Lets face it the Roosters are the only club that could afford them anyway.

Ash Taylor and Anthony Milford are also citrus fruit..

Its that exact reason I started a thread about us re signing Taupau. Of all our big money stars he is the one off contract. In reality we may not be able to keep them all... Hopefully some guys will take unders to stay in this team who are Building to a premiership and another dominant era

In my opinion if this does become an issue koroisau should be the first to let go.. AFB and taupau are the best front row combo in the comp, we need to keep these two somehow as well. I guess time will tell how it all plays out especially with cust, Fainu, Schuster, Hopoate all destined for big things I can't see us keeping them all along with the three turbos. Cherry needs to lead by e.g. and take a pay cut as captain of the club

Perrett, Elgey, Thommo, hodko, Taufua, Api all gone will free up alot of coin. No salary cap penalty next year, we should be able to get Walker on a cheaper deal-he owes us the lotalty we showed him. If we look to find another Garrick, another Waddell then maybe, just maybe we can squeeze them all in. Crusher seems to have an eye for potential.
Its not all about money either, players want to win premierships and play in succesful sides so hopefully they can see thats where we are heading

They are 3rd party magnets

Get it done MWSE back office

Its sad how we all look at our squad and how the salary cap applies.

If this was the Roosters site and they had our squad they’d be working out where to fit everyone in the starting side if they sign Ponga, Munster and Taupau next year.

Interestingly Turbo senior works for URM. Let’s hope that assists in hanging onto them.

Exactly, and this is why Fans shouldn't beat themselves up about contracts.

The higher the profile, the higher the TPA and lower slice of the Cap.

Companies have marketing and educational requirements as part of their budget.
They love nothing better than having a sports person come and give some 'Team Building' talk or attend a golf day etc.

I was trying to get my last contract company to move monies to Manly instead of the Warratahs.

The finance guy was not a fan, the year was 2008

URM need to pay Turbo snr 2 mill per year. We are comfortably under the cap then.😀

Hypothetically you raise a very interesting point ...... perhaps a legal mind amonst could ponder that ...... what are the criteria for 3rd Party agreements?..... if the money raised was from supporters with no affilliation to the club .... even so, if the money raised was from Silvertails to promote the site ... then that would be a simple marketing deal similar to the fox or media deals ...

Problem I see is that 3rd parties would go through the roof. With GoFundMe what is to stop a club say Roosters getting their mega rich Eastern Suburb mates to throw in a fund of say $5, $10 mil to buy a premiership? Yes they all fit under the sombrero that's called a salary cap. Besides Greenturd would want his GST. It would end the competition because half the teams would not be able to compete.

Good point .... but is there anything stopping that from happening now .... do we currently have a limit to the amount of TPA's a club can have ??

You referring to the ones we know about or those other ones? I'm a tad cynical on this. I don't believe the BS they give us on the numbers. I personally believe there should be a cap on 3rd parties as well. I really don't give a rats of the origin of the 3rd party, each club should have the same opportunity.

Also don't like the idea of fans paying money to footballers that already earn close to a million just to keep them at the club. As much as I love the Trbojevic brothers, why I should I pay them from my 5 figure salary when they are already earning close to a million bucks from the club? Not saying that they expect us to because those boys are two of the most humble footballers today but just rubbishing the idea of a GoFundMe page sponsored by fans that work really hard for their significantly smaller salaries.

Creighton is on 1 mill
