Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

With 2 new teams and salary cap increasing mixed with reduced squad limits players will be getting paid.

People need to reset their expectations on what players are worth. 600k is now becoming the old 350k player. Still well below what other premier sports salaries are.
100% correct.

People need to re-adjust their perspective of salaries. The cap has gone up so much in the last few years its now at 12mil. Not to mention an extra 12m has been introduced into the market with the Dolphins and another 25mil (increasing again) to come in with Perth and PNG.

Players on 1million 3 years ago were taking up 10% of a teams cap. Now 1mil only takes up 8%.

The minimum going rate for any starting player (top 13) by next year will be 550-600k+ (around 5% of the cap).
 
I agree....but I do think May's extra minutes may hurt him. The last two weeks I have noticed him a bit more tired and last week in particular melbourne exploited him late. Against the Dragons there were a few times I also noticed him struggling to get back onside due to excessive minutes. I know everyone says trust the coach bla bla, but I think it is hurting him a bit, and I also really only think we play him that much because our depth quality is poor.
Personally think last week was the team fatigued. I think your right, May's minutes are burning him. We need to give him 60 a week if he's feeling good, any more in 2 years carrying our pack he will be cooked.
