Message: [QUOTE="Anonymous person, post: 2387332, member: 2115"] lets look at Gasniers case: - he KNEW he was going to retire at the end of this year before he even signed with the dragons. - he just came off a hugely lucrative deal overseas, so was swimming in money - he wanted a premiership, something he'd never won now the NRL would NOT register his contract for the original $50k for the remainder of the 2010 season. they said no. they then bumped it up to $120k AND got him to sign an 4.5 year HEAVILY back-loaded contract, even though Gasnier knew he would not be there for those back-loaded years - and you can bet your arse that Bennett and the rest of the dragons staff knew this too. they back-loaded it so the NRL would approve his 2010/2011 contract for a pittance, because the NRL were under the impression that he would then be getting probably double what he would regularly get in 2012/2013 etc. now as soon as it comes time to cough up the big $, he just retires. now st george got one of the best centres in the game for the price of an absolute nuffie for 2 years. like i said, dodgy as hell. the broncos should offer Paul Gallen/Nate Myles/Greg Inglis $100k each to sign with them for the remainder of this season, and $1mil for next season with a 'its not working out' clause, and then execute that clause as soon as we win the grand final, allowing them to go back to their old clubs with a premiership ring for them, a premiership for us, and no skin off our backs for next year.
