Yeah 875k, I'm pretty happy with that given the cap increase. Nicho is just so impressive it isn't funny, he'd get more than that elsewhere I reckon.
When you compare it to Nanai who just extended with the Cows on a similar deal (4 years - $3.6m). It's a bargain.

He could easily play on till mid 30s considering he hasn’t been getting whacked in the NRL since he was 18-20.

He’s had 1 full season of NRL.

Still played a lot of footy before that though. May not have been whacked quite as hard, but the body still takes a hiding even at park footy level over the years.

Might be more father time catching up with him at that age. And I don't mean Bennett

Nicho will be getting paid well AND leave enough to have a good side around him.

Great outcome for all involved.

Look at storm, got in a **** fight with their spine all wanting top dollar and their depth has taken a dive
Worth it if they all stay healthy, but that’s a big if
Their depth used to be the envy of the league

In your head, rent free
Buzz reported it was going to get announced soon, said $3.5m over 4 years
if we get him for less than a mil, we can still add some decent pieces to the team whilst also watching our youngsters trickle into the team and become key pieces

if nicho had 3 million inst followers he would just about be our greatest ever signing

Ya reckon they might've pulled the wrong rein on Paps v Hynes?

i dont think they did

hughes is an elite level half back and paps is just utter chaos

they made the right call for everyone involved, just unfortunate how injuries have killed one of the games most exciting players
Yeah if Paps stayed healthy its not even a question.

Who here would swap Nicho for Jerome Hughes?

I think Melbourne saw Nicho as a fullback or bench utility - not an NRL half.

Munster and Hynes would be an awesome in the halves.

I think they probably saw that they had Nicho style players in Munster and Paps and couldn't hold onto him with the interest he generated.

Id have to look it up but did Nicho, Paps and Munster ever have a full game with them playing in the 7,1 and 6? Would be chaos on the field with those 3 all on fire
