I've been thinking about this since he was signed some reports say 400K a year but accoridng to another Parramatta have said it is more like 300K.
Now lets look at this
He was signed for 3 years with a 4th year option, reported to be $1.2 million.
A few things to consider
- Lyon is under contract until the end of 2006
- Tahu is under contract until the end of 2007
- If Lyon returns Parra need to find space under the cap
Here is what I'm thinking may happen
1) The deal is simply worth 400K and the "Parramatta Source" lied to the media
2) The media is beating things up and the deal is in fact worth 300K
3) It is a graded deal 350K in 2005, 300K in 2006 (in case Lyon returns), 550K in 2007 (Lyon no longer under any deal)
4) It is a smaller base fee around $280-$300K but incentives could see it at $400K
but my personal favorite to be true
5) It is a $1.2 million deal but that is assuming he stays for that 4th year $1.2 million / 4 seasons = $300K a season
