read an article a couple of weeks back (can't remember who by) but it was in the Sun and it suggested that his current contract was for about $700k a year, which to me seems easily $200k-300k a year over what his output to date warranted.
Well done to him. He’s a great ruck man and is going to rip this season apart. He’s no tom scully.
Why leave now, when he could have left last time, with better form and Ryder in his way?
Surely he’s just gonna try and milk more dollars out of us?
From the outside you'd think you'd be on the right track.
Didn't leave last time, or the time before that when he was prolly close to our no.1 ruckman being treated as 3rd. Didn't leave by his own words last time for money.
You'd hope that like you say it's just a ploy to get more money are showing how he can dominate the ruck by himself.
Sadly after Ryder you just can never be to sure anymore.
Altho a restricted free agent means we get final say doesn’t it ? if we are willing to match any offer another club makes to him, doesn’t he stay ?
Think he did split with the supermodel. Poor b@stard. I'd be doing some soul searching as well.
Tough break. Poor bloke.
But anyway he’s the number one ruckman now at a club that (at this precise moment) is in a pretty good position. I wouldn’t be wanting to leave that’s for sure. He doesn’t go too badly either so if it comes down to money then give him more money.
Why assume he’s a ‘poor bloke’? He may have been the one to end it. Might have reflected on what he became under her influence & thought, “I’m out of here”.
