I dont want to say the figure I was told, as you guys will laugh at me, but Manlys 1.1m per year offer is not even remotely close. As far as it stands, I am told it would be basically impossible for Manly even to get to 500,000 within the offer as it currently stands.

Warriors have thrown the war chest at him. You guys will fall over when your learn how much it is per season wether he signs or not. I expect the amount will come out shortly in the press. ITS MASSIVE.

F@ck it - offer for Foran is just on $2m per year - historic if he takes it, not sure how it works with third party payments but that is the value.

There I put it out there before anyone else announces it.

Shit, most would have to consider living in Auckland for that money.
Hold on is that Aussie dollars or NZ?

:lol: nearly a third of the salary cap on 1 player and nearly double what anyone else it worth

1 of the best ever yarns I've come across on a league forum

Foran is a gun. An absolute gun. But he's not $1.5 million let alone $2 million. Not in a salary cap era unless half the contract or more is TPA

We will know soon, I had 2 solid sources tell me today the exact same thing in regards to the size of the contract.

My source with the Warriors told me the offer is $2m a season but Foran had not signed at this stage.

My other source who works in sports media and informs people like Vietchy with inside goss told me he heard Foran had signed and he heard $2m also.

Will you be happy to spend that much on 1 player ? Masterstroke from Bell or stupid money ? Would Foran take $900k less to stick with Manly ?

First off.... I don't for a second believe it's even gotten to a money stage yet... Iron Lying is talking out of his arse...

But even a massive figure like 2M isn't impossible... The Warriors have a big advantage being a 1 country team... They get a clean run at corporate support for an entire countries market.

And 2M dollar deal may only be 800K on the cap with 600K each being kicked in from Vodafone NZ and Coca-Cola Amitel NZ for example...

Hey Bud we will know soon enough, I trust my contacts enough to put the figure out there.

By "my contacts" I'm assuming your talking about the voices in your head....

I don't need to wait... I know for a fact your telling lies... Because before every big deal the Warriors core sponsors are sounded out to see if they are interested in getting involved as 3rd parties in a deal.

I know people involved with PR at 2 of these companies.... And they haven't heard anything about this...

That's why I'm telling you right now that Foran's agent is spot on with his assertion that NO money has been discussed at this stage...

Great goss and I am excited. If we can Third Party Deal the vast majority of it, why wouldn't you pay whatever you need to and can find to secure NRL top superstars. Overs now will be unders later. Overs is really only what you can't afford to pay.

But of course most likely its a crock.

My favourite warriors thread this.
