Michael Witt was on a five year deal? Jaysus.
No, it was four years. And pretty cheap. That's why they had no issues letting him go one year into the deal, much like Manly later did.
Basically they tried to hoodwink him as a young player, signed him to what he thought at that age was big money, and then lock him up long term. But he fell of a cliff after damn near beating Billy fking Slater to the 2003 Rookie of the Year award. Never quite understood that, he was hugely talented. The old Eels halfback curse...
