I did see it say “upwards of $2.5 million” earlier today.
$525k does sound a lot better, hopefully we are calling it a bargain in 2 years time when he’s top 5 hooker under Fitz
Correct - Apologies can be sent via PM
It's standard fair for varying $ figures to be thrown around in the media after a player signs and/or new information comes to light.
I mean **** the media are still adjusting what money they think Chad Townsend is on
We don't really know what these figures consist of or are built up from (bonuses, 3rd party ect) which can also lead to variance or misunderstanding in the numbers reported
I think Brailey was in line to get a contract like this regardless of who our coach was
But if he was so keen to stay at the Sharks I just wonder if we would have got away with giving him like a 2 year deal and re access in a few seasons
If he turns out to be good it will appear a boss move from the club to lock him down for 4 extra seasons but if he doesn't we will look like turkeys and will struggle to move him on at full freight
He's young and all and seems resistant to injury so I get the length of the deal but he won't be young forever and we didn't hear much in the way of rumours of over clubs clamoring over each other to secure his services even considering the shortage of hookers on the market
In theory we should have him through some of his best years but he is the one that has to lift his game ultimately
I could go either way on this one
