Message: [QUOTE="McHunt, post: 3285116, member: 9853"] [I]Turns out the the Warriors increased his salary from a $60,000 development contract to $100,000 this year, with an increase each year to around $400,000. Cheap for an Origin fullback, who can kick goals and fill in at 6.[/I] [B][I]Walters:[/I][/B] “We didn’t want him to go. But he was strong on going. We knew he was talented but I wanted him to play a few more games in Intrust Cup.” “I was keeping the money for Cameron Smith. (sarcasm) Please, give me a break. How would I stand in the way of any kid for my own son? Please. Every little mistake that’s made I get blamed for. I’m not the greatest coach in the NRL, but I’m not the worst. I knew how tough this job was going to be." “At the end of the day the Warriors offered to throw him straight in and paid him more money. That’s what happened.” “I’d seen at the Broncos previously that talented youngsters had been given an NRL jersey way too early and before they were ready. It didn’t help their development. Sometimes an 18-year-old can train really well but then struggle in games, so I had a conversation with him about his pathway through." “He was adamant he wanted to go. He saw the opportunity to play first grade straight away. He’s a good kid and we hope to get him back one day.” [I][B]Walsh:[/B][/I] “It was a dream of mine to play NRL for Brisbane. I remember when I was seven years old, I would run around with a Broncos jersey on wishing I could play for the Broncos. That’s something I always wanted to do, but then the Warriors came into the picture and they were very clear with the opportunity they could give me." “I wanted to play first grade, but Kevvie didn’t think I was quite ready. He wanted to hold me back a little bit and they had Jamayne there.” McHunt [/QUOTE]
