Why? He isn’t proven and there’s a better than even chance he fails to turn out to be an high level NRL half. We’ve just been burnt on a player we’ve being paying on potential for 5 odd years, failing to really deliver. If we want Wishart, I’d be paying him on what he could currently deliver and ask him to back himself to prove he’s worth the bigger contract. If that’s not what he wants then I don’t think he’d fit what we need
I can do better. I was at a place also 11 years (although I didn’t really like it but conveniently I was there long enough to get long service), moved to a place for more money then 7 business days in realised I didn’t like any aspect about it. Actually got fired before I quit. Even if they were paying me $1.3m a year, I reckon I’d have topped myself before staying (not even joking).
I agree about 700k and it might take that much of an increase for him to ask the Storm not to activate their club option for 2026
Yep, they might be a bit disappointed but I reckon Ryles and NBrown will be running their hands together thinking about how much cash they have to spend.
Lockyer was one of those players that would get the team over the line through sheer will. Ok he was talented too but he gave everything and demanded the same.
But if we call Wishart an untried player, then we might be paying over $1m for a 6 and our spine is taking up alot of our cap. I think next to Moses he is a decent bet, and if one of our juniors like Fletcher, Lynn or Twidle step up he can always play 9 down the track.
I hope Knights did thier medical checks on him.....otherwise lols...
Mate ya cant buy em. I hate the paper ones
I just think $700k for Wishart is a massive risk. I read somewhere that he supposedly on half that at the moment. If I were trying to sign him, I’d offer him his current salary plus maybe up to $100k extra as relocation for 2 years max. That gives him the opportunity to prove he’s more than the undefined bench role player he currently is.
10 years is where its at.
You do realise that Sarantinos, ONeil and Rogers are at the forefront of our recruitment, they basically stuffed the side up since the GF by signing basically very ordinary replacements.
