Message: [QUOTE="Anonymous person, post: 2516152, member: 2115"] sigh..... they wouldnt get one contract that states everything theyre getting. they would get an NRL contract, then at LEAST another 1 contract per third party deal. for a player of inglis' standing, i would say he would sign the old john hancock at least a dozen times after hes agreed to a deal. he wouldnt read these deals, thats what he pays his manager ~10% - or in this case something like $55k to do. manager would go through with the sticky notes and put one next to each thing he has to sign, and thats what he signs. again, if the professional youre paying to get you a deal tells you to sign on the x you generally sign on the x. if you couldve done it all yourself, why would you be paying this person 10% of your money to do it? jesus christ some people just dont get it lol. well it does have something to do with it. the NRL decides that a player of say Smiths standing is worth a minimum of 600k a year, and any attempt to sign him for less than that will be denied. even if smith wanted to sign for $300k the NRL wouldnt let him, as they pin his at value at minimum of $600k. thats what was so wrong about the mark gasnier resigning/retirement thing. the NRL would NOT register his contract at 100k for year 1, 150k year 2. they only agreed to it was because then in year 3 it went up to like 1 million, then like 1.2 million the next year, giving his total contract a value of like $600k a year, which they agreed is his worth. then he went and retired after year 2, meaning that they only really signed him for $125k a year - something the NRL was vehemently against.
