8 Years is a long time. 2013? SBW may have seriously stuffed his body by then, he is already got more injuries than a lot of older players. Recurrance wil get him, especially if they send him back early.

I'll tell you who wont be........... Williams

After the end of this $400k contract he'll drop back to $200K where he belongs.

Tim Smith has an awful LOOOOONG way to go to become the highest paid player in league.

I'd place my bet on Thurston.

Seriously, weird question, 8 years is a long time...

Beat me to it!

It's like those "name your team in 5 years" questions, and they're entirely based on current players in the system.

It's good in a hypothetical sense, I suppose, but there is a limited scope.

If we include Sponsorships, where SBW would probably be winning right now, then it won't be any current NRL player. SBW will be older and less marketable, the highest paid player will be another "Next Big Thing" in his early 20s, so you're going to need to look around SG Ball for a good-looking, potential superstar.

People keep saying Sonny Bill - I dont see him playing for any more than a year or two more. He's deadset a plate of glass on legs.

he's one of the most marketable athletes off the field, he'd still make more money if he played half the year every year forthe rest of his career.
