Message: [QUOTE="Anonymous person, post: 2373676, member: 2115"] did we lose thurston to another code though? did we lose cam smith? hayne? lockyer? no. we lost a showpony only in it for the fame and fortune (hunt), and a mormon (who wouldve had everyone to do with his church - who take something stupid like 20% of all his wages - telling him AFL was the way to go). apart from that, we dont really lose too many huge names. even with $7mil, you cant afford to pay 1 guy a million a year. it just doesnt work. do you really think people would be happy seeing their teammate on a mil a season while theyre on $300k? and why would the extra 5 players be nobodies on 100k? if teams were smart, theyd invest in some good established players on good money so when the injuries inevitably hit, we bring in a player just as good as the guy whos missing. even if a guy like Reed wasnt playing first grade every week, he'd probably stick around if hes on $250k a season. i just think having 2-3 guys at each team on around $1mil a season is asking for trouble. think about it - they sign for $1mil a season now, how much are they going to want NEXT deal? they surely wont settle for $1mil a season again, so its off to overseas unless you wanna pay them $1.5mil. as it is, theyre staying in league on $400k-$500k. bump them up another $100k or so next year,then another $100k the next. that way theyre getting more money every year, and its great money, and theres room to increase for further contracts. dont just bump them up to the maximum straight away. im trying to work out where i said ANYTHING about rookies?
