Depends how good this Sanders kid is. For starters he may end up never tasting NRL. If he does its a success. And at what level does he reach if he dies get into the NRL? He is eligible for SG ball this season. I assume he is only maybe 18 and a good 2yrs off NRL.
Moses will be here 5 full seasons. That means he plays at the age of
28,29,30,31,32 ......
In 2023 these guys playing age is
HUNT 33
DCE 34
Cody Walker 34
Keary 31
Reynolds 32/33
S.Johnson 32
Wighton 30
Chad Townsville 33
Moylan 31/32
I'd argue they are the better halves in game. Name some current halves that are better than yhis list that are under the age of 22 which is what Sanders would be by time Moses contract ends.
I can't think of any off the top of my head. Perhaps the Roosters kid and Burton who turns 23 soon and still wildy inconsistent.
There havent been a junior half that stayed at Parra for yonks that have went on.
There was Mortz, Witt, Keating, Smith all had wraps on them but didnt go on.
Maybe Hodgkinson and Buetner was the best of the bunch.
Buying a half in form hasnt really worked out as well:- Dykes, Sandow, Green.
Maybe JT was the best but his stay was short.
Dyl was home grown basically and Moses blossumed here.
So I think $1.1 is a fair price considering the current salary cap rise
