Jason Ryles only 29, and the best prop in the comp at the moment
Michael Crocker - only 28 current Australian rep
Which part?Lol @ the above.
I don't think it's 275k per year. I'd say it's total. They always use the total figure to sensationalise it. You know, like when a players, like Gasnier for example, signs a "mutli-million dollar deal" when it's $400k per year for five years. It's technically true yet deliberately misleading because they know many people will assume it's per year.
GIANTS SIGN WORLD SUPERSTAR
Huddersfield Giants are delighted to announce the signing on a three- year deal of NRL superstar Todd Carney. The 22-year-old stand off will join the club on December 1st and is already keen to get started.
Todd Carney commented:
“I see this move as a fresh start for me away from the issues in the NRL and I can’t wait to get cracking. I asked my Manager to get me to a club that can win things and the ambition shown by Huddersfield has convinced me that they can do just that. Along with Brett Hodgson who I know from the NRL they have other international players in key positions and a whole host of established British players ready to take the next step forward and make the club a real force in the Super League. I would like to thank the club for having the confidence in me and I look forward to repaying that on and off the field for them and getting back into training and playing the game I love.”
Giants Head Coach Nathan Brown commented:
“There is no doubting Todd’s ability. He will bring a new dimension to the Giants play and to the engage Super League as a whole. We were in the market for a half and to get the lad that I believe is an outstanding talent is a massive boost to the club. Such is his standing in the game that I believe he had his pick of most of the teams in the competition so again for us to be his choice gives me great confidence that we can attract the worlds best players to Huddersfield to add to an already strong roster. “
Giants Managing Director Richard Thewlis commented:
“We promised more signings when we unveiled our revolutionary season ticket plan and I believe that this will be the biggest made by any club in the engage Super League this year. Todd was voted the player that most supporters would want in their NRL team at the start of the year and to have him joining alongside Nathan Brown and Brett Hodgson from the NRL is a clear statement to everyone that Huddersfield are a very attractive option for the World’s best. I expect further squad movements over the coming weeks as the September deadline has just passed and can assure all Giants supporters that our intention is to build a squad capable of beating the very best. Todd Carney was our number one target and we are delighted to get his signature on paper.“
Thewlis also added:
"I realise that people will ask about the get out clauses that the media seem to like to highlight and would remind all our supporters that that those basically are included at the players request in case they don’t settle. Moving 12000 miles is a pretty daunting experience for anyone and what we must do as a club and indeed as supporters is welcome this young man with open arms, help him settle and make sure that, just like Paul Whatuira last year, he quickly pops into the office and says forget the clause I am staying for as long as you want me here. It really is that simple and we all have a part to play in that."
