Probe into Third Party Endorsements

[Utility Player]

Further, why are we making rocket science out of solutions? Just cap the limit on third party deals and the problem is solved.

Exactly, if a TPA limit of say 1 million was applied to all clubs and all TPA's were registered with the NRL then the problem would be all but solved.

So, 180 or 360? Given that DCE's backflip seemed to contain a lot of 'spin' and a higher degree of difficulty than say, Greg Inglis' or James Tedesco's, I'm leaning towards a backflip 360.🙂

I think NRL's biggest fear with limiting TPA's is that rival codes without similar limits in place might entice league players away.
I think a TPA limit could work if the NRL payed an annual 'top-up' or 'thanks for staying' amount to, say, the top fifteen 'marquee/elite' players, that was above the salary cap and TPA's and totally separated from who these players played for.
And to avoid any element of favouritism, I would have this list of elite players receiving this bonus being voted on annually by all the NRL coaches (with limits on voting for own players) for the following year.

@niccipops I thought this thread was about probe wielding aliens.

They're too busy liking my posts.😀
