I'm a huge Jake fan...he's heart and soul no doubt. Wouldn't swap him at all. But I cant say I see him being worth as much coin as his brother even now, let alone in the long term. That's not meant to be a knock, just reflective of the type of player he is as compared to a match winner like his brother. And I know if you get one you most likely get the other ( at this stage of their careers anyway ).
But how many forwards would be on more in the NRL (per figures quoted ) ??? Or anywhere near at this early stage of their career ??
Lucky the figures are only Dean Ritchie's or I'd be worried.
Like I say - not the slightest knock on Jake as a player. Hope we keep em both for life.
If you pay Paul now you rob Peter later. And who will be the next forced out the door to have us all screaming.
