I've been thinking about TPAs. I doubt that any company with shareholders would pay to have a footballer represent them, unless they were a household name. It's shareholder money they are spending. Where is the return-on-investment they would be asked to justify at their AGM.
Therefore, how does a no-name (with potential) like Haas get a TPA? What value is he to a business? He hasn't the profile nor, I dare so, the ability to speak at corporate functions, inspire staff to greater things, get the public to buy more of the company's product . . .
His TPA must be from a Brisbane supporter who expects nothing in return. That private supporter can't get free tickets to Brisbane matches, access to the dressing sheds nor Bronco events etc because this wouldn't constitute a club being at "arm's length" from the TPA.
There must be a lot of Bronco supporters willing to pay players, that's all I can surmise.
