Message: [QUOTE="Tunza's Chin, post: 2755418, member: 8986"] Gordon does have a lot more value to them then any other fullback named, because it allows them to do a repeat of the Mini/RTS development strategy, and gives them a goal kicker when they punts Hastings. Also Latrell is riddled with errors at the back, Gordon is safe as houses. But, you can't honestly think Gordon would be able to command a market value anywhere near those blokes Financeguy has named? He is at the end of his career, and on the decline. He doesn't have the attacking prowess of any of the others named, and that is what most clubs are looking for in a fullback. Gordon might be worth as much to their team as any of those other blokes, but the reality of the player mark is they don't need to pay him anywhere near as much. I think about 1/2 of 400k would be a lot closer to the mark. Nowhere even close to top 5. Plus there's plenty of other players that a club would sign as a fullback for way more then Gordon. Tom T, Inglis, Morgan, Milf, Holmes, Bird, B Morris to name a few. I'm not necessarily arguing that's what I think they are worth, but its hard to argue they wouldn't be paid way more in reality. The NRL player market is insane... I think year on year clubs, a few more so then others, are becoming more and more willing to pay a player based on how good they could POTENTIALLY be, rather than how good they are. Before pingagate Norman was close to landing a contract in the ballpark of Cooper Cronk! The Raiders offering Milf more than JT's on, sure he's the Milf, but were talking about a future immortal vs. a 21 y.o kid. If Milf was playing in a raiders team spending a million a year of cap on him there is no way in hell they are winning a premiership for years! [/QUOTE]
