Message: [QUOTE="Flutterby, post: 2287925, member: 1853"] How do you know either of these players took a pay cut? Have you seen their contracts? Were you involved in their negotiations? Once again, the media has "rumoured" they took pay-cuts - you do not know for sure. I am not saying they didn't and if they did good for them. People's motivations for staying in any job or going are their own and they don't have to justify them to anyone but themselves (and maybe their families). And BTW - Lockyer taking a paycut would not necessarily allow the Broncos to sign any new players or beef up other players' contracts, because regardless of what he is actually paid, it is what the NRL values him at that counts as a minimum towards the cap - ie if NRL values him at $500,000 and he takes a pay cut and only actually gets paid $300,000 it makes no difference to what the club has available under the cap to pay other players with; conversely if the Broncos pay him $600,000 this season then that is the cap space he takes up and whilst he is still playing at the same level the NRL will not reduce this even if he goes back to only being paid $500,000 next season.
