Tyrone Roberts on 400k a Season

[slotmachine]

This requires it's own thread. Discuss.

 

[Spot On]

Well we do have a winger who can't tackle, is usually suss under the high ball and has pretty poor hands a lot of the time on 500K so I suppose it's no use pretending that some fool didn't gave Tyrone the deal of a lifetime.

The club is littered with underperforming millionaires.

 

[Bring it home Knights]

That's gotta be a G-up! 400K for a halfback that is barely first grade standard. That will do me!

 

[Noname36]

The only thing I can think of to explain this terrible news is that maybe because we had money at the time he re-signed a lot of it was in third party money.

 

[Rod]

Unbelievable if true. Worse than Aku's contract without a doubt.

 

[Chicken_Hunter]

Where did this info come from?

 

[Loose Cannon]

This explains how Roberts was listed at $2.60 on eBay, yet then attracted bids of up to 80 grand.

Midley must have turned his computer on that day.

 

[Nuffy]

Just wow, nothing more to say really.

:lol:

Why shocked?
When negotiating, he was in great form.

Overpriced in hindsight, but he was a genuine up and comer in our most crucial position a few years back.

I know Chris Haddad who was Tyrone's manager when he signed the contract (not sure if he still is), if he ever wants more clients all he has to say is "I got Tyrone Roberts $400k a year, what can I get you?"
He'll have so many new clients he'll be beating them away with a stick

I don't understand why they Matautia's sacked him. Did a great job getting them rich deals to play NSW Cup at the Knights using the Dogs as leverage.

 

[aqua_duck]

Think he might have been abit too 'shrewd' for their liking lol

 

[aqua_duck]

In saying that any man who can get tyrone 400k a year would be your best bet if you wanted to sell sand to the Saudis

He was showing promising signs, not ripping teams apart on a weekly basis or playing rep footy. His defence has never been very good.

That's why.

 

[Alex28]

Surely this requires some source...

 

[Bring it home Knights]

400K over 2 years would make more sense

 

[Knight Vision]

From memory he was being chased and turned down an offer by the Raiders? This probably helped push up his value in a market with a dearth of halves.

The half quality is so bad these days that JT is talked up as a future immortal. In the land of the blind the one eyed man is King

Meanwhile ben hunt also on 400k and Adam Reynolds 500k

 

[perverse]

Ben Hunt has come good in a big way, so that's an amazing investment. When did Hunt sign that contract? He's only been the player he is now for ~12 months. Had Tyrone followed a similar path, we'd be laughing. Unfortunately he shit the bed repeatedly instead.
