Is he really much behind the likes of Fonua Blake these days who is on a million per ?
I would pay him a million per for three years provided his brother commits as well..

You can’t pay him that much if he doesn’t play Origin. You’d think he’ll wait a few weeks, because in the unlikely event he does get picked, that will bump up his price tag.

Mate ..Laurie Daley isn’t picking him for Origin if he picked Max King over him last year

He’s no chance. Which means you can’t pay him top dollar.
29 for a front rower is prime years . 28-32 for most . So a 3 year deal should be good .

I thought Payne was top dollar ?
Also as I said …come 2028 $1m is the new $800k for top 5-10 props

Yeah ..3 is good …4 less so
I think what makes it fine is Sione and Twal are locked in for IMO unders to their market value . So you’d argue that between the 3 of them and even big Royce that it’s probably 600k , even with T May on big dollars . Let’s face it , the only reason he isn’t in a blue jersey is bullshit nswrl politics . He’s clearly too 4 props in nsw .
So if you’re giving your engine room the middles 6x 600k so 3.6m , I think that’s pretty good cap management there . Bearing in mind player 7-9 are probably averaging under 200k say 180k . It’s only a 300k pay bump for T may . He’s already on 700-800k right now .
I’m glad it’s not 4 . I mean that’s age 32/33 season so it should be ok in modern footy , but remember Tamou ? One year he was nsw prop the next he was Magpies standard . The fall was that sharp . But someone like T May who’s games more about agility should have more staying power . Plodder types like Tamou and woods just all of a sudden were completely ineffective and there was probably some bricklayer plying for Ryde Eastwood or even Concord Burwood who was closer to nrl standard .

He has gotta good engine May …as we all know …
He might last longer ..but you are right ,..it’s nice not to be committed on that sort of money for longer than need be

Just listened to Reads comments … he is clearly spitballing on the value of May’s deal …
Interesting he said the discussions have been going “ a while” too…
If he signs in a “couple of days “ that would seem to be the case I would suggest… it wouldn’t be finalised this quick if they only started yesterday

Less than 6 months on and the cracks are already showing, a few hundred grand from the salary cap now gone because of ineffective mansgement.
Fast forward 2 years and those cracks will only be bigger.
But hey, the mob will call us doomsday conspiracy theorists with an agenda, because we are pointing out the glaringly obvious.
Whats the figures?
A seven figure sum per season....or over three years?
(Im at hospital cannot listen to the vid)

Exactly . You’re pointing out the obvious . To what end ? No one wants HBG to own the club . So what’s your point ? There’s absolutely nothing anyone can do over the ineptitude of our ownership group , all we can do is discuss the decent job our interim ceo seems to be doing hoping that he can snap everyone up. But it’s going to be harder because everyone knows there’s now an extra 1.5mil available that wasn’t there on Monday .

Yes …that’s what he is saying..he is talking it up that the deal is just about done and should be finalised in a couple of days… seven figures per season over three years

Mate ..he wants to vent …even though we all agree with his point ..and no one is saying otherwise
In the meantime …someone at the club needs to get on with signing players

There's too much unknown information to judge. Very possible Luia signalled the posibility he might be on the move which changes the cap framework. Possiy that wasn't communicated to May as well as it could have.
It explains the sudden re-up of twal and AD if you think about it . Everyone was scratching their head at the time as to why they were done so early , but now it actually makes sense . Luai was leaning to the exit door , and the club had to shore up a big chunk of its leadership group .
I think the May boys and Fainu boys are fine . They will all get over the line soon . Bula …. I mean I dunno . It seems like his manager is asking extreme overs probably so when Bula doesn’t sign , it will be “they wouldn’t pay him what he was worth “queue Riccio and Reed sucking on Isaacs tit.
Bula is not worth 1mil plus . And this idea he will be come 2028 … I dunno man . He will be 25/26 by then . Most players are what they are by that point . How often do you see fullbacks take a huge leap that late ?
I’ve said it already 10 times … I think fletcher sharp is better than Bula , and I’d be circling him. He simply doesn’t fit at the knights .
Who cares if he plays SOO , it’s what he does for US , keep him his brother stays his other brother will turn up , and maybe Turuva stays , stuff SOO
