Well articulated!Too many gullible people on here. Chammas has no contacts at the club, he's not liked at all. And of the very few people who would know why would any of them release the info? Brooks' agent is trying to get him to another club, so providing an inflated figure of his value will only deter potential suitors. Same goes for Brooks himself. Whether WT want to offload him or keep him it's no interest of ours to release such a high figure.
Even when he was at his peak we never signed him to a deal that big. He's done nothing to get a bigger deal. I find it incredibly impossible to believe that a renegotiated contract for a player who wasn't performing all that well at the time would be so big heavily back ended. Especially when we've been under the cap the past couple of years!
The NRL has also been clamping down on clubs using heavily back ended deals for a while.
None of it makes any sense, for any party. If it looks like crap and smells like crap, it's probably crap...
And no to either Flanno. We don't need the halfback and don't think Flanno snr is the answer either.
My thoughts as well.
Although it is possible that when Madge took over in 2019 he extended and restructured Brooks contract to be less during the years that we had Packer, 800. MBye, 900. Reynolds, 800 whose contracts expired last year and this year.
Who knows.
During the last three years he may of agreed to take 150k / 200k less each year so that we could manage a roster with addition of those big contracts.
