I did say if, but who knows.
And it is reportedly a standard 18% now but maybe back then it was a standard 10% or 15%, or everyone negotiated and some players got 20-25%. If and 18% seemed easier for the comment haha


Do those in the know offer another number or do they just say 'please don't believe the bad thing' and refuse to discuss it further?
The Fox Sports media team would have a lot of those is knows between them too and come out with these numbers.

TBH if they aren't overspending on Brooks (vs what he has delivered during that contract) then that's arguably worse.
What have they been spending on!?

My personal expectation is a lot of the numbers we see are probably put out by player managers looking to inflate certain values.
As an example (all numbers made up by me just to create an example) Brooks maybe has a max earning capacity of 1.035 but gets rounded up to 1.1 by manager/press and realistic earning capacity is maybe more like 850k in typical season. Knowing this those in the know say he isn't paid 1.1 and that it's a media beat up.

But I assume that whatever this inflation is it's probably somewhat consistent over most contracts in same price bracket. So Moses' reported 950k maybe he did hit last year with GF but perhaps would more commonly be 800k? Maybe the new 1.25 is more likely to actually see 1mil come to him as he won't make finals anymore.

I'd be interested to see some NRL contracts, even without names, to have a better idea about how prevalent match payments and performance goals etc are.

Stephen Crighton has signed with the dogs for 2024. Will be given the fullback role.

Moses will re sign with parra this week.

Tapau will go to parra with brown going to the tigers.

They'll be paying Crichton a shitload no doubt. Interested to see how he goes, I don't rate him as highly as most.

I think the tigers are turning a corner. There forward pack should now be very good and if you add a player like moses to the backline they should be competitive. I think with the new cap in their current position he is worth it.

To be clear I would not pay that for him at the sharks as we are already competitive. But I think it is a reasonable signing if they land him

Joe Batchelor from the super league is reportedly wanting to give the NRL a crack. Anyone know much about him? Is he any good?

He's probably still chasing after that dummy pass it looks like McInnes has sold him

Iro is on a dev deal for this year, however, when we strike a deal with Newcastle ( Miller ) he will be elevated.
