It may be possible that Munster's deal maybe $2 Million total, but it isn't like he'd be receiving $666K each season. For all we know, the deal could be backdated, so that's it timed with Slater's impending retirement. Those articles don't take into account marquee player allowance, third party deals, incentives or anything of that nature either. Remember how Lockyer was supposedly a $250K player at the Broncos? I'm sure there's something similar going on with Melbourne and most clubs do the exact same thing. Melbourne benefit from developing their own, while Brisbane struggle since they've had to import (or in the case of Boyd buy back) players from other clubs. It's a little apples and oranges and the only team that seems to be getting away with it (albeit poorly) is the Warriors who have the entire New Zealand spine now. [/QUOTE]
