Message: [QUOTE="Morkel, post: 2516741, member: 8215"] BECAUSE NONE OF THESE PLAYERS HAVE SIGNED CONTRACTS WORTH $250k (Folau), $190k (Inglis)! If they really were willing to play for that amount, who do they have packages worth $600k and $700k??? Why was SBW allowed to sign for $550k, whereas previously he was getting paid $1 - $2 million??? Why didn't the NRL give him a nominal, fictitious "market" value that he had to be signed at? BECAUSE $550k WAS HIS TOTAL PACKAGE. If they'd bumped it full of a million dollars worth of 3rd party deals, the NRL would have grounds to question it. But they didn't. I don't agree with it, because it means that he'll just delay signing any new contract until after he earns a heap in the off-season (unsigned), but that's the way the system works. [/QUOTE]
