Official Top 30

Everyone knows clubs do, the point is there not meant too
Because clubs do organise them , so really players can't break a contract legally over unpaid tpa's because the club has to be at an "arms length " with them
Nrl is a joke and corrupt with no leadership

The NRL's only concern is hounding Canterbury using their dirty tools News Ltd

My point was that not all TPA's involve the clubs. Some are truly 3rd party agreements with no involvement from the club. Obviously not all of them are arms length, but some clubs do appear to have very long arms. More to the point, one club towns, particularly Melbourne ($800k reported) and Brisbane ($600k reported) have a hugely unfair advantage. They have plenty of potential sponsors with no other local teams to support. There needs to be something done to level up that playing field. The only thing I can think of is that there should be a TPA cap, say $300k for each team, which is a bit more than the current average ($260k reported). Which gets audited and reviewed every year just like the salary cap.

You are spot on, the fact that it's being widely reported that Klemmer is peeeeed off with us about one of his TPA's would get my interest if I was a salary cap auditor. "So David, who exactly is this 3rd party that you are having a problem with? Please explain why you blame/are angry with the Bulldogs?". Perhaps best you stop blaming the Bulldogs and get your manager off his ass and sort out your TPA's, that's his effen job.

Go Dogs

This is exactly my point !!!

Did anyone else realise that Christian Crichton isn’t as short as he actually looks on TV. He’s 182 cm and 100kg. He’s the exact same height as Holland.

Crichton 182cm 100kg
Hopoate 186cm 98kg
Holland 182cm 94kg
Smith 196cm 97kg
Montoya 189cm 95kg
Meaney 187cm 90kg

Haha that's not true... I interviewed him earlier this year and he was my height (I'm 166cm) and he definitely is not 100kg!

Welcome to the kennel you sxc doll

 

[BELMORE]

Hope you were wearing heels.... seriously 166cm?

 

[Darciemcd]

Haha nope I was wearing sneakers. We obviously didn't stand back-to-back so may have been a touch taller, but I remember not having to look up at him. Also worth noting he was really polite, humble and genuinely excited to join the Bulldogs!!

 

[Mr Invisible]

Haha that's not true... I interviewed him earlier this year and he was my height (I'm 166cm) and he definitely is not 100kg!

I'm about the same height.. and DEFINITELY not 100kgs... I have to tie myself down in a high wind to ensure I don't blow away!!

Being short has it's advantages... when I was a kid I was epic at hide and seek for example "How the F**K did you fit inside the recliner"

 

[Wahesh]

Are you one of our Cheerleaders? Thanks for the insight. Have you interviewed any of the others?

 

[Darciemcd]

Nope. Unfortunately I can't pursue a journalism career while cheerleading I wish I could do both!!

I was for five seasons, but hung the pom poms up a couple of years ago to focus on a career in sports journalism.. Yep, I've interviewed just about all of the Bulldogs players and many, many others from different teams!

Darcie this is just what we need though, a Bulldogs fan who is a journo One who will stand up for the team and disclose the actual truth, not the spun story slobs like Rothfield "disclose" - your career path is good news for the club.

But at the same time she doesnt want to commit career suicide and will have to play the game early on

Not really career suicide if it's unbiased and sounds that way.
