So if TPAs are supposedly at "arms length" from the club, then they are really a direct contract between a player and a third party. How then can they be included in the players contract with the club, and registered with the NRL ?
So the conversation with new player could go something like this:
Player X - "I want $1 million a year to play for your club"
Club - "how about $700k and you arrange $300k with that entity over there ?"
Player X - "How about 1 million, and I go and arrange an extra $300k with that entity over there ?"
If the TPAs are nothing to do with the club, then how does this work ? And what about the NRLs (previous) instance on players playing for their contract values. Does this include the TPAs or not ? Because if it doesn't then every player who has a TPA is technically playing for under their value ?
Confoosed.
