Just do what every other club does. Pay him minimum now and top him up when he joins the coaching ranks.Anything more then 250k would be silly
If our back 5 are collaborating pay cuts (these guys haven't even hit big deals yet apart from Jesse) then that's really gotta push Wade down.Anything more then 250k would be silly
Other than Wade, who else is eligible for the long-serving player allowance?If our back 5 are collaborating pay cuts (these guys haven't even hit big deals yet apart from Jesse) then that's really gotta push Wade down.
No idea how that all works anymoreOther than Wade, who else is eligible for the long-serving player allowance?
Isn’t it $250k (or still $200)?
If Wade takes the $250 for 1 year, then we basically get him for free.
Or the bunker, or the MRC……No idea how that all works anymore
Not a bad point. I can't think of anyone else that would be eligible. Next closest could even be Blayke or something.Other than Wade, who else is eligible for the long-serving player allowance?

I assumed his fingertips would tingle or something like a Spidey-sense and we'd have a detailed breakdown by now.

Might need Gus and Gal to explain the 'developed player' definition again...$0.188m – Veteran and Developed Player Allowance for eligible players who were either developed by the Club prior to becoming NRL players and / or have been a Top 30 player for at least 8 years at the Club or have been a Top 30 player for at least 10 years across the game
I didn't realise the last one was a factor. Always thought they had to be through the 20s or with one club.$0.188m – Veteran and Developed Player Allowance for eligible players who were either developed by the Club prior to becoming NRL players and / or have been a Top 30 player for at least 8 years at the Club or have been a Top 30 player for at least 10 years across the game
Yeh me neither. Tolman would come close too. You could pretty much get Tolman and Graham for about 50k eachI didn't realise the last one was a factor. Always thought they had to be through the 20s or with one club.
In that case Dale qualifies and Cam would next year.
It’s one total of 188 for whole squad it’s not per player. You get them for whatever wage you pay them because if it’s a part of their salary it’s just not a part of Dale or someone else’s.Yeh me neither. Tolman would come close too. You could pretty much get Tolman and Graham for about 50k each
Ok Ta. In that context it's not really worth keeping a developing player just for the bonus. It should be for maybe 2 or 3 developed players each.

Club can assign it against anyone eligible (or multiple people). They still get the same wage as their contract says, just by having at least one person eligible (and on a contract of 188k+ if just one person) your total spend allowed is 188k higher.
It potentially is worth keeping someone ‘just for the bonus’.Ok Ta. In that context it's not really worth keeping a developing player just for the bonus. It should be for maybe 2 or 3 developed players each. Forget the second part
