No where near the $500k people are talking about on here.
There on lies the problem…lets assume TT's figures are correct ..it just emphasises the short-sightedness of previous Management ...Mayer signed Sironen to this contract with the option in his favour after a handful of FG games...In other words on potential..Here we are stuck paying a guy 300K...Based on performance and value for output he is worth no more than a minimum wage player 85K at best...the same can be said of the halves..to a lesser extent..
Compare that to the re-structuring of Lawrence's contract getting off massive overs of 600K to a more value for output of 300K a season
We are hamstrung from going into the Market as I think a big part of our problems in the past has been paying too much for our fringe and lower end players that we get not a lot of value out off...It appears current management have moved away from this so I'm not that unhappy with these decisions
