The deal was reportedly set to be around $850,000 a season, excluding third party agreements, sponsorship deals, property gifts and games of golf.
However, in one of the more sensational stories in a game often filled with scandal and gossip, the Roosters have apparently pulled out of the deal citing concerns about their salary cap moving forward.
Despite losing the significant salaries of Joseph Sua’ali’i, Luke Keary, and Joseph Manu, the club is apparently concerned that they might be flirting with the salary cap limit for the first time since its creation.
The Roosters have been over the salary cap for 20 years, why are they worrying now?!?!
