The interesting part of this is Matt Cameron and co's plan because best believe he'll have a plan.In his podcast he mentioned he's 4 years advanced looking at his cap management and who and who isn't going to be available.
I'd be interested to see if Nathan was to leave if they'd have a chat to Isaiah Katoa for a return to Penrith.There will be a plan for whoever leaves no doubt about that it won't be like the circus we saw around DB and Lomax's exits
apparently tpas are only tax free if they are part of the contract which would put them on the cap and defeat the purpose of them,not sure how true this is macy
Exactly though PNG will attract many players from now into future unless nrl fixes the amount accordingly per tax free bucks. ! Isnt the supposed idea of the salary cap to help even things up? How is this fair then? Ridiculous stuff. Plus a whole country offering TPAs as has been outlined re offered to Luai.
It's crucial we lock up our junior keepers ...yesterday.
NRL won't fix it as they want PNG to be successful as it means the Australian government will continue to put money towards it meaning NRL get bucket loads from this franchise.
600 million of Australian Tax Payer money which will go to the NRL to use as they please. Some of this will go into PNG. Some of it will be used to buy more assets for the NRL. At the end of the day, this team will be successful based on the fact they will always have nearly double the money to spend on players under their cap. Even if its for only 2-3 years, you will see alot of players in their prime go on their own for a short contract to gain what they can in 6 years for 3 years, possibly more, as most players start low and end low, most of their income is made in the middle of their career. This will be impossible for established clubs to compete with the money on offer. Power houses like Roosters, Penrith, Broncos will have the constant ability to fight for a premiership, this will maintain their attraction. Lower tier clubs like Dragons, Titans, Tigers will struggle to sign anyone unless they offer double the players worth to get close to PNG offers. Im worried the Bears will fail before they even begin. You have PNG in 2028 competing for a premiership and Bears will be competing for the spoon...
Only thing is to get tax free yoh have to be living there apparently. So players can't keep family in Australia and earn a quick paycheck. Not sure how many players will want to uproute completely and if they do, for how long?

Reckon Nathan Cleary will be next imo...hopefully they pay him a mega fortune, and use some of their $25M up?
He won't go unless Ivan joins. With Willie Peters that ain't happening.
Nup reckon it makes it easier for him with Mary's link. He'll go.
the guy will make easily $2M pa including mega TPAs. Any dad would be happy to ok that.

He's been on record saying he would never play against his dad again.
