Wouldn’t think so.
St George rides again!
Most likely Roosters or Dogs....
I presume it's the Cowboys. They're the only club I know stupid enough to sign players on10 year contracts.
The last 4 years of the contract are spent trying to offload the player. And Brown is not DCE.
At the end of the day the clubs know they won`t get 10 years out of a player like Brown, so really it is $13m over 5 or 6 years when they think they might be able to win a premiership with him, they are prepared to write the balance off. The ten years/ $13m is just the carrot to get him to sign.
Except that $1.3m per year will still be in their salary cap in those letters years so can’t write that off.
They don`t care, as I said, if they can get a premiership within those 5 or so years they won`t care if they don`t win another one for the balance of the contract. The extended contract with the big money is just to get him to sign.
But… he’s just not that good?!
Not smart. Newcastle have the basics of a good team, they have good juniors, loyal fans. They can win a comp without mortgaging their future with a player who, maybe I am wrong, seems to me to be a bit mercenary.
not surprising
Pay peanuts get monkeys.
Sometimes you get monkeys no matter how much you pay.
good point
