Would you change states for an extra 500k

[crazycat]

Just asking, you know for a friend??

Say you have 1 contract that is for 1.5M (total) and it's in... I don't know NSW.
And another that's 500k (unsure if for entire year, or both years??), in your state where your family have recently moved too....

Would you, turn down 500k? (or more)?

I would have to talk to the Mrs. Good question.

If I were a young bloke with minimal responsibility it’s a no brainer.

Let him get back to his friend.

No brainer if it's in a brown paper bag and no tax. 🤣

Take the O out of Gould

No - happiness first and if I'm well off either way then no

 

[AmericanHistoryX]

No happiness without pain.

 

[gallagher]

I changed states for no money. 😢😅

 

[AmericanHistoryX]

What about your state of mind? No passport required.

How about a family in Brissie that grew up in NSW?

Also you are in the last 2 years of your career and have to deal with say 30 years post career??

Just saying, the cap is totally broken.

$500K?

Hell yes. I'd move to Tasmania if I had to.

You’re only talking 1-2 years. Do it in a heartbeat. 10 years wages straight up. Taxman will want his cut though I suppose

Adam Reynolds said no.

 

[Tito Santana]

Question should be would you go and work somewhere that will pay you $2 million less than your current employer?

Oh wait…

No, in this instance, it's not.

We've been over this, money is not the determinate factor for everyone in every decision.

Reynolds has also come off a career where he's made many hundred of thousands of dollars for over a decade. That money wouldn't mean as much to him as it would to most.

When you've got a young family of your own, you don't argue with people who choose their family first.

 

[gallagher]

Depends on the location in the state too. I'd move to the north coast of NSW but not back to Sydney.

Whilst I understand your scenario, the reality is that for Marquee players the salary the club pays is dwarfed by the 3rd party deals they can sign. That $500k could be more like -$500k as is probably the case with Reynolds, finishing up at the Broncs and perhaps delivering them a premiership will mean he keeps getting paid for years to come, esp after retirement. If he came to the tigers and played a couple of seasons he throws away all of that. Yes the salary cap system is broken, my view is it only really works for your non-marquee players.
