Most of the top sides have a fullback on similar money to Walsh.
The Roosters won back to back premierships with Teddy on a million a season (smaller salary cap too)
Edwards at the Panthers and Paps at the Storm are reportedly both on 950k or more
I have no doubt that 5 million also includes an upgrade on his 2025 contract... So in reality is is 5 million over 5 years.
We also have to remember that the cap goes up each year for the next couple of years
I think I read somewhere that because the Phins didn't utilise their entire cap, for the first two years, they can use a bit extra to sign Hunt.
Not sure if that's correct or not though
