Message: [QUOTE="Anonymous person, post: 2516744, member: 2115"] shaun johnson is still on his first contract, thats why the NRL didnt step in and make them pay more lol. he was a nobody when he signed, this is only his third year. why would they make them pay lussick less? you dont seem to understand what a MINIMUM value is. for lussick they might say 200k is his minimum. thats a MINIMUM, not a MAXIMUM. he can get paid $800k if he can get the deal - just not less than the 200k they value him at. firstly lockyer was getting the discount with us because he had been with us for 15 years. secondly, he was MUCH older than cam smith and thurston. while they were 25, he was 30+. thirdly, he had guaranteed third party deals set up by the broncos, which are counted under the cap. fourthly, schubert must have agreed that that was his value. at the time of his contract extension he was 32. its not hard to see why he was valued less when you combine it with how long he had played for us, his age, and coming off a serious injury in 08. fifthly, the salary cap was only 4.1m then, so that 250k was still 1/16th of the cap. sixthly, again, minimum does not equal maximum. smith and co mightve been valued at 300k by Schubert, doesnt mean they cant be signed at $500k.
