Message: [QUOTE="Anonymous person, post: 2463836, member: 2115"] i dont see how thats fair. when the eels didnt make the finals could the broncos just go "ok we have 3 games left in the year, lets offer Hayne 20k for those 3 matches so we can get him for the finals"? is that fair? the NRL only agreed to gasniers deal because of the backending of the deal, which saw his pay go up dramatically in the last 3 years (more specifically the last 2) to cover for his pitiful registered salary in the first 1.5 years. the last 3 years of which they never had to pay because he just up and retired. he signed a 4.5 year contract for $1.9 million. it was ~$100k for 2010, the year they won the premiership. it was something like $250k for 2011, then it started going up and up. lets be honest - gasnier wouldve been a $400k+ a year player back in 2008 when he left. they got him for $100k to help them win a premiership, then for STILL probably under half his market value in 2011, then he retires and takes away roughly $1.5m worth of salary cap usage over the next 3 years with him. they would NOT have been allowed to sign him for the 2 seasons at what he got paid, and its an absolute disgrace that they werent severely punished for the blatant cheating of the cap.
