Mate the mining boom is over and by the time a Perth team is back on the radar it will be cheaper than living in Ipswich.
Could you please tell that to the $13 pints I buy, I'd love for Perth to be cheaper.

Team should have to have used up their entire salary cap before they dip into 3rd party agreements.
For example - they carried on about how the signing of James Roberts actually helped the broncos cap - I guess because he signed for less cap money and more TPA money.

In theory it sounds common sense and agreeable. But in practice wouldn't be realistic. Club X (see what I did there) has exhausted it's salary cap and dipped into 3rd parties to top up 6 players earnings. A player on $450K retires and I replace him with a $300K player. I'm now $150K under the cap and have 6 players on TPA's illegally. Do I then have to renegotiate 1 players contract to put an extra $150K cap money into his salary and then trust that his manager (because as a club I have nothing to do with TPA's) hands back $150K to the third party. What if all 6 blokes said no to the renegotiation ?

TPA's are an absolute joke, I know my club benefits from them. But I just cant take the salary cap seriously with the way the system is currently.

Then the club shouldnt be allowed to sign anyone else until its all sorted or something like that. There would be a way around it. But yeah, tricky.
The amount of money a player is on from a TPA is (or should be) irrelevant because as you said, the club is suppose to have nothing to do with it.
