Rumours and Stuff XXX

Think I recall reading an article last week that said JT was on 2 mill

Yeh that included national level sponsorships as well as more 'local' TPAs. And that was just RLW's guess...I'm not sure why people assume the numbers are accurate.

you're preaching to the converted there Baz

I wonder if that includes games for the Kangaroos as well

who, other than JT and his agent would know

I believe he's on about $2M. Hayne would have too if he had re-signed. Anyone who thinks Foran would be on as much as either of these guys is kidding themselves.

 

[Twizzle]

Foran has been pretty good, but not 1.2 million good, Norman has been better imo

yeah the numbers are guesswork

JT's probably includes every cent they can think of him getting .... while Foran's was teh 1.2m he was publicised as getting as his parra contract, but what about his extras for playing for NZ and whatever else he does

What price leadership and defence?

Agree. Intangibles he brings are priceless. Insert Sandow and see what you get.

The more I watch Foran play, speak and generally behave around our club and our team the more I think 1.2m per season over 4 years (assuming he stays 2+2) is an absolute steal. Yes JT is the best player in the world but we got an outstanding player but more importantly a leader.
Norman I believe will want to stay. I think if he signs long term hew knows they will have some good years together.

 

[Stevie]

On a side note can you imagine earning 800k a year. How good would that be?!!
If Norman gets 800k that's $33,333 per game for a regular season if he plays every game.
Foran is being paid $50,000 a game.
Ahhhhh, excuse me whilst I go back to crying into my desktop at work haha

Seriously? He thinks he can make origin?

Don't forget he's one of Lozza's pets. I was actually amazed he made SOO when he was with us, certainly what he displayed for the Eels didn't warrant selection

double Norma's price ?

sorry, don't see it so far, things may change but I dont see it yet

I really think the turnaround is due to Foran and Scott.

Now if we didnt get Scott, do you think we would be defending and performing like we are now?

I don't.

I get sometimes pissed off when I see both Foran and Scott sitting on the bench because we basically have the game won.

You see BA come down and chat to Foran and are jovial, etc.

However, you hardly ever see him talk or acknowledge Scott.

Scott is a big part of this team and is the forwards leader.

I don't believe he's on $1.2M. Not under the cap. But he is very marketable, so $800k + $400k TPAs sounds realistic.

I reckon Norman is currently on about $400k (under the cap) but that's unders. Is he worth $800k? He can certainly dominate when his forwards win the ruck. He's not very effective in a tight grind, but few halves are.

Does Scott seem like the kind of bloke who wants to f**king joke around while he's watching footy?

They are not doing dances of song and wind.

They might crack a joke.

But you do see Scott look at BA, but BA is too smittened with Foz

I reckon you are reading too much into it. Scott actually does get a lot of praise from BA and at least as much as Foran. I just think Scott is a guy BA relies on and I don't think Scott would feel unappreciated.

It is more of a glare than a look, a shut the f**k up or I will choke 2 bitches glare.

 

[hineyrulz]

Pou won't be happy till every good player is gone and we have a spine of Gordon, Kelly and Prichard backing up Foran. But we would have back up solid depth as far as the eye can see...........

Agree it is a glare.

It's probably more a

WTF am I sitting on the bench for?

Maybe BA knows he doesnt like sitting on the bench and tries to avoid eye contact with him
