    We are are already past the point where there’s no middles left to sign. The ones people are floating on here are rubbish!

    I tend to agree with all of that!

    How long is it ok for a player to be a ‘work in progress’ before you can say they just don’t have it? Actual question, not saying he might not have something.

    Thanks Rocky. This was before his contract extension was signed in June 2024. So I think it’s pretty safe to say he would have got a bit of a pay bump, and that $350k figure would be absolute minimum. Still think he’d be on ~$425k

    No we are on the hook for $200k per year until the end of 2027

    The Cheese ... allegedly charged

    You can’t tell me with a straight face that “market value” means anything the way the NRL applies it. Market is what someone’s prepared to pay; that’s the definition. If a club has $700k sitting there for a player, then his market value is $700k. End of story. But instead, we get this clown show...

    The Cheese ... allegedly charged

    The issue here isn’t really about how “market value” is defined; it’s that the NRL don’t seem to apply the rule consistently. They blocked us from retaining Glen Stewart on unders because it was “below market,” yet now they’re fine with an Origin captain taking a $300k haircut. At least, that’s...

    But then how would some clubs cheat?

    I’d play him if a win gives us a shot at 8th (about a 12.5% chance of happening), but otherwise agree!

    The Cheese ... allegedly charged

    It is frustrating how they cherry pick the “market value” rule. Given we offered him a two year deal at $700k per year, wouldn’t that indicate his market value is at least in that ball park? You can’t blame the fans for getting annoyed when it seems rules apply differently depending on which...

    I think there’s an element of insurance pay out as well? Which is why it can be such a long and frustrating process to get the approval?

    It’s up to $300k unless they reduced it since 2016? The more recent CBA may have changed this but can’t see it being less? Increasing the veteran player allowance by up to 50 per cent. This move recognises that clubs and players should be rewarded for long service. The allowance will now...

    That helps $150k each. Turbo qualified as of this year and Jake’s been qualified for a while. So let’s Pencil in Large at say $225k Add $300k long service allowance Leaves us 3 roster spots and say $900k-$1.1m

    Hard to argue with much of this. Only thing I’d say is Rugby had offered Koula $800k so I’d say you’re estimating him on a little unders.
