Message: [QUOTE="Anonymous person, post: 2328101, member: 2115"] Huge, if you had a huge bag of lollies, would you give a huge amount of those lollies every year to someone else who already has more than their fair share of lollies? lets get serious - there is NO way that Bennett is short of coin, and he certainly doesnt need money to help him care for his disabled kids. he is not disadvantaged, and does not deserve more in life. [b]the reason i brought it up was NOT to have a go at Wayne Bennett whatsoever.[/b] if someone offered me $100k a year 'for no reason' id take it too. i brought it up to show exactly why i think organisations like the Thoroughbreds should not be allowed to exist in relation to NRL teams. yes, you might be naive and think that they were just giving Bennett money cause theyre friends. but there is a VERY real probability that it was money to make sure he stayed with the Broncos, amongst other things. and if the coach is just getting given free money, whos to say the players arent being given free cars/money/boats/etc just because theyre 'friends' with some rich Thoroughbred members? thats my point. where do you draw the line? what if wayne bennett then came along and told Lockyer 'hey Locky, i really want you to stay with the broncos even though we cant afford you under the cap, but my mate has been giving me $100k a year out of his own pocket, so how bout you sign with us for $300k a season and ill just give you $90k a year out of my own pocket?'. would you be ok with that? technically its not breaking any Salary Cap rules, is it? what if Russell Crowe just wanted to give Inglis $1mil out of his pocket + a starring role in his next hollywood blockbuster, as long as he played for the Rabbitohs? youd be fine with that?
