When’s the French rugby season end? Would throwing the 800 k at semi be silly?? Is he still contracted past his current deal?

Semi signed a 2 year deal in Feb 2018.

Bordeaux are running 6th in the Top 14.

Games run until May.

I definitely agree that Norman had a poor season on 2018 and based on that form was not worth $900k for 2019.

However interestingly he signed on for the $900k for 2019 (and lessor amounts over the previous 2 years, which average his salary out to approx $733k pa) when he was probably at his peak in 2016 (based on his current career form).

Yet after a poor year his is still able to get fairly close to $900k pa with the dragons (reports are he is on $1.6m for 20/21).

So maybe our offer wasn’t that ridiculous and it’s just the market rate for a half considering he is still on a similar amount at a new club even after a poor year.
