Do you think he’s worth that money, I don’t ?
I don’t think a 34y.o Api is worth that money either.

If he gets that cash then some club believes he is worth it regardless what we think.

Clubs will be forced to pay overs for potential.

In 3-4yrs wouldn’t surprise me if most clubs had 4-6 players on $1m each based on cap increase, market and squad sizes reductions

I know for a fact south's have been in talks with the club regarding keeping bud , and he is also happy to stay there but the signing of this new bloke probably means they couldn't reach an agreement financially. For the records Bud got no problem returning to the tigers as he has a really good relationship with Luai and a few of the boys. I think he will be back next year.

wait.

How does Bud have a good relationship with Luai?
They never seemed to have crossed clubs, so far?

There is almost zero chance Benji wouldn’t have a say in who stays and goes.

Sure, he has a say in the players he wants but he doesn’t have a say in the contract amount that’s offered. That’s Richo and the board. If a player receives a better offer elsewhere they may accept it even if the coach wanted them to stay. That’s standard practise across the nrl although some coaches have more of a say than others.

Also Stefano on 800k would have been hideous

Interesting how Richo's call that he was offered the most lucrative contract to a junior in WT history has translated to $1m+ They never even looked at the contract so Richo can pump it up as much as he wants in order to show that Galvin never planned to stay a Tiger.
 
Oh well, no one is coming from the penthouse to the sh$&house … June 30 midnight approaching.

Move on , bite down on the mouthguard and eek through 25.

I think too, we see a tier of player talent at 1m that surpasses all others.

Heck I think there is even a Top Top tier that is developing. Guys like Payne Haas that are around the 1.5 mark. DCE hit that in his prime and Cleary is hitting it now....Hammer may hit there as well.. Latrell Mitchell too if he did not cause so much rukus off the field.

Some players can outplay entire sides. We saw that in 2009 with Jarryd Hayne being worth 3 players on the field. Slater at fullback around that time would be worth it as well, where he would score from a kick return. ... Israel Folau at Melbourne/Brisbane too (hate that knob, but he would often score twice a game off his own effort. )

You have your reggies/cheapie grade...
Your first grade fringers around the 200k-400k
Your first grade starters pushing 500k.
Your top dollar getting around 1m and
Your top top dollar, players that clubs can really only have 1 of, maybe 2 tops.

^it's those last two brackets that we need to free up cap space for.

No, not really. But a lot of contracts do have clauses for bonuses if the player makes a rep team. Can't say if it is the case for Utoikamanu or any other specific individual but the bonuses are factored in to the cap.

Yeah I recall reading this is why the panthers had to start breaking up their band I though it was due to the match payments themselves but must of been caveats in place if the players are to make a rep side. I wonder if any of our players have such bonus’s built in to their contracts?
