will be well less than 50% karma.
blaming a freak injury on his recruitment is pretty bizzare?
Oh not blaming the injury, but you do tend to find these type of injuries seem to happen to players who are a bit older thats all... I mean its a freak injury to Buderus too, but he was around the same age of Ben Cross...
Also, both playing for the Newcastle Knights?
Its not something you see around the league very often, something in the training? Too many weights close to the game?
Just interesting thats all, and age seems to be the common denominator there.
I don't exactly disagree with you Karma, but the comparison to Hannant was a bit silly considering Hannant was off contract last year, obviously if both were available at same time then id be angry if we got Cross over Hannant.
And Cayless never is or was worth 450k a year :lol:
I'd have no problems with long serving guys getting paid big money. He was NZ captain at various times, and when he came into league, a junior footy star, so his starting price would have been hefty from day one. He is at the end of his contract after all.
Its natural in most occupations if you stay in the same job, you tend to get paid more!
May have been a mistake by the Eels to sign him for that money for so long at the time, but its a bit different to putting him a long term contract in his mid 20's when he was NZ Captain, and the Knights signing Ben Cross at what was it, 27?, after he had achieved very little in rugby league.
Thats all Im getting at...
