Message: [QUOTE="Huge, post: 2548647, member: 1992"] While I would welcome Smith to the club, an astronomical asking price is a stumbling block. There is no argument about his ability or what he could bring to the club. The question is, would the $1,500,000 he would cost over and above his worth as a player alone be justified ? If the Broncos as a business are able to afford that easily then I would grudgingly say, pay it. However, if it's a stretch we should not. Giving Smithy a retirement package should be Melbournes responsibility. I would favour an incremental deal totalling the three million odd. Give Smithy new goals, guard against complacency. Tie it to performance. Say, $500,000 year 1, $750,000 year 2, and the big carrot , $ 2,000,000 year three and probably the mantle of Highest Paid Player in the NRL. [/QUOTE]
