Bird Contract

[carcharias]

highest paid player in a team that get flogged most weeks
Um
No pressure there.

Or very very well paid player in a team of equally well paid players that'll compete every week.


Be careful what you wish for Jack.

 

[SharkShocked]

He flat out isn't worth that money.

Spine or not spine.

 

[Dragon Slayer]

So if we sign Chad and not Jack we will have at least $800k free because that is what we are offering Jack.

Gee we could get a pretty awesome centre and some change for that money.

Won't be worried if Jack goes.

 

[Craigshark]

I like Bird, but he isn't worth that sort of money. Let him go if he wants that.

 

[shaggs]

Bird has a verbal agreement with Newcastle on a deal worth more than a Million a season, he is giving Cronulla a chance to get as close to the offer as possible.

That's f**king stupid money. Salary cap bulging with a lot of overpaid players.
I like him as a footballer, but not for that much.

 

[Eion]

We have only just scraped to 700k mate.

Sounds about right to me. If Jack can get a mill good luck to him.

 

[Dragon Slayer]

Take the NRL money Jack.......

 

[MilkShark]

Jack won't play origin if he goes to the knights. That's a big loss of earnings annually straight away.

He also won't be playing in any finals series at the knights.

If thats the case then cya jack. He is only worth that in desperate teams ie knights.

700 is fair for him. Sit on it and let him walk if need be.

From the lurker

Sharks star James Maloney is being shopped around to rival clubs even though he is under contract for next season.

Maloney’s management believes he is underpaid after he played a major role in winning the club’s first ever premiership in 2016.


The cheeky five-eighth is the heart and soul of the Cronulla team and without him, it’s doubtful the club would have taken the title.

Maloney is on fair money but has asked for an upgrade - and the Sharks have knocked him back.

As a result, his manager has spread the word to rival clubs that he may be available for 2018 if the price was right.

It’s an old trick to force Cronulla’s hand - but the Sharks have salary cap problems - as most clubs do when they win a premiership and the value of their players goes up.

And if they don’t come up with extra cash for the goalkicking pivot, Maloney may request a release and go to a rival club.

Stand by for the matter to come to a head now I’ve brought it out into the open - even though both club and player are likely to deny there is any problem.

And that is why it shits me that Chad and Jack are holding out for massive dollars when Maloney and everyone else knows why the Club won the GF.

Maloney was bound to get the shits considering the price we got him at.

Tell Jack to f**k off to Newcastle and upgrade Maloney to his true worth to our Club.

 

[Tiger Shark]

Yeah like we'll give him a release.

 

[Defer to the coifed]

Ha how is this forum. Cracks me up. The club slashes our best players salary, because of a stupid far cup, & that player leaves. Nobody blames the club, lol. Now we have the opposite. Guy signed a contract & was happy with it & would have been happy, except he won a grand final. Now he gets more money(hes on $650k), but the guys who are off contract, getting upgraded, they are told to far cough????
WTAF are you guys on?

 

[cb4]

Maloney is on more than 650k. A lot more.

 

[carcharias]

What is the lurker?

What is the lurker?

The Mole with less followers.

I wanted to keep Barba.

Why would anyone want to see one of the top 3 players in our squad go?

Yes true the Club would probably handle the situation better if it knew the result of halving his salary because he was going to play half a season. But in the end it was more of the fault of the NRL than the Sharks to why Barba ended up leaving.

If you think Bird is worth $800k and Maloney is worth $650k then I doubt you'd have many on here that would agree with you.

It's certainly ruffled Maloney and rightly so.

The fact that if we signed Bird that he would be one of our highest earners if not the highest is dead set outrageous!

And benny slashed his own contract by being caught twice and being unavailable for half the year.

 

[Defer to the coifed]

650 is waht we paid him

And benny slashed his own contract by being caught twice and being unavailable for half the year.

benny did not slash it himself. Roger TS didnt hand his pay back either for missing the entire year last year.

Ha, if he had a busted knee or whatever it was, at the time of contract negotiation he would have taken a hit.

 

[Dragon Slayer]

So..... is there anyone on here that thinks Bird is worth $800k compared to Maloney on $650K ?
