What about Erin Molan? She looks like Brent Tate with anorexia.
Wayne Bennett rule.
I don't rate her at all. But I can see why plenty of blokes would.
Plays long minutes, good in attack and defence, has leadership qualities. I reckon $700k.
You just summed up Tim Mannah except for the price tag.
That's not how payments scale though. It's not just relative quality (whether X player is Y times as good as Z player) but how you will be able to use him, given the other limitations beside the salary cap (i.e. only 13 players on the field, only five runs in most sets of six, etc). This is why the superstars get paid ten times as much as the worst player in their top 17. They are certainly not ten times the player, but you are able to construct your game plans to make them 10+ times as effective. But this means you have to artificially make other players less effective by reducing their involvement to accommodate the greater involvement of the stars. By making these other players less effective/involved you actually reduce their value.
Mannah is a poor man's Woods, and personally I wouldn't swap them, given Woods' likely price tag. Other clubs need Aaron Woods more than we do, so they should be able to pay more.
