So does that suggest Twal will in fact be on 680k next season, if salaries are rising with the cap?
He was, for a few months. So we got good value out of him this year.
I didn't think all salaries were rising with the cap (correct me if I'm wrong).
It's not guaranteed, but i believe many NRL contracts included a clause that sees the contract rise with any equivalent rise in the cap. So a player isn't disadvantaged by signing a long term contract while CBA negotiations were ongoing. If they signed a contract 6 months earlier is it fair that they get paid 30% less than someone who signed later? Players shouldn't have to take short term deals in order to benefit from cap increases either.
He's not going to 1.4 million. He may get 1 million at the absolute max.

Broncos have developed players with elite attributes, both physical & skill, and have taken those attributes (speed, strength, power, cardio, ball skills) to new levels. Walsh, Cobbo, Staggs, Fansworth, Mam, Haas, Riki, Flegler & Carrigan provide an amazing combination of attributes. With shrewd recruitment in Reynolds & Capewell, they have rocketed up the ladder the past 4 seasons.
Bit harsh. He had a great 2023 season. Bloke fully deserves to be extended when does he miss a tackle? His carries have been better too.
Time will tell…
Lee’s buddies in the media like Slothfield are saying he will get $1.6m .., so I thought I was being conservative …
They are paying Haas $1.2 m so you can’t say with a straight face they will pay Walsh less.,
‘Unheard of money‘: Walsh to command $1m-plus payrise as Broncos’ Haas headache worsens

Now you are right …our boy is not Reece Walsh… but I’m willing to think he might be half as good…
Like I said,,, if Bula doesn’t live up to the deal, then I’ll be the first one here complaining about it … but I’ll wait and see
I think the whole discussion moving forward is that he should anticipate the tigers offer will be less than his on now.
There is no doubt in the world Reece Walsh would have numerous clubs prepared to pay him 1.4 million per season.
I reckon if we can sign Xavier Savage who is no longer a high priority at the Raiders, despite being paid a starting players salary.
Sounds like a young Bennett
Don't forget, this is the Broncos team that finished last in 2021 (before handing us the baton!) and missed the eight last year. If you had said in 2021 or 2022, that a spine of Billy Walters, Adam Reynolds, Ezra Man and Reece Walsh would go within a whisker of the premiership in 2023, surrounded by the same cattle that finished last in 2021 you would be laughed off the forum.
no club will take Nofo's contract though, he won't go anywhere unfortunately
Don't know if you listened to the Footy Talk interview Aaron Woods did with Luke Brookes. They both said Benj was like that as a player as well. Could read the mood of the team at training and dial up or down accordingly. Apparently he still runs rings around them in opposed sessions as a coach. At least you know he is going to bleed for the joint. If it doesn't work out for him it won't be through lack of care factor or simple job preservation.
If he’s told he will likely spend the next 2 seasons playing NSW Cup if he stays with us, it would then be in his best interests to look at heading to the UK Super League where he’d be one of the best wingers in the competition and would likely earn the wage we are currently paying him for the next 4 seasons.
