Of all teams I am glad Hunt is at the Broncos. Good to see a player finish his career where it started. Hopefully Saints can get Hetherington is exchange.

The problem as I see it is that some people find it impossible to accept someone else's opinion as even relevant...
What ever we were paying him was considered 2 things, daylight robbery and fraud !!!According to this report Hunt will be getting 550k per year for two years from Broncos
Hunt reportedly makes call on future
Hunt was being chased by as many as four clubs.www.zerotackle.com
I am glad that Flanno and the club let him go. We were paying him way over. 900k!
What happened to market value at 800 and the salary cap auditor keeping a close eye on things
Forgot about that Rava try. Drinkwater is supposedly a speedster too.
Blm01,
There is also the possibility that he simply sacrificed a chunk of money for the promise of the second year. Most clubs were probably balking at that second year at his age. So $1.1M over 2 years less market value of $800k for next year = $300k for the second year, Still a decent wedge in the grand scheme of things when compared to what he would have earned outside of football for the year, And he still probably gets a coaching job with them anyway for 2027. I think this deal makes sense for everyone including us.
I may be wrong but I think it's this simple: he's counted as $800k on the salary cap if he's contract pays anything less than that amount.
as long as little benny is happy that's the main thing.
Totally agree but we are use to one rule for some teams & another for others.
Totally agree but who is left in the market ? We have signed well but still cant get the enforcer !
It still doesn't add up for me.
If we know we need an enforcer SAP, I am sure that Flanno does as well and I should think that he is searching high and low, or maybe his recruitment staff and scouts are, to get this elusive guy. We well and truly need that enforcer and if we don't we can forget finals footy. It only takes this particular guy to take control up the middle and allow guys like Su'a and Leilua etc to do their bit thereafter.
Wrt point 3. I read that for players at the end of their careers (how is that defined?) you can legitimately offer them post-career nothing jobs at any salary and it has no impact on the cap.
