Message: [QUOTE="Locky’s Left Boot, post: 3054259, member: 9358"] Considering the amount Gillett is apparently on, and the fact we need value for money to balance our cap, I’d argue Gillett is the odd one out. This is just pure speculation and guesswork but I’m of the belief Glenn would be on just over half of what Gillett is on. Glenn has around the same amount of top level experience and is probably playing on a par with Gillett this season so is playing much closer to his contract value. Gillett is being paid what he was pre neck injury. Glenn also holds the same amount of respect in the playing group if not more. Only thing in Gillett’s favour is he has a higher ceiling than Glenn but whether he rediscovers that under the circumstances is another thing altogether. Thing with Gillett too is he still a big name and a player other clubs would still throw money at so he is still a decent asset in that case and would be much easier to move on unlike Boyd and Macca. But unless he somehow finds his best post neck surgery I think we could use his money much better especially with the amount of back rowers we have coming through the club. But no doubt the whole ‘we can’t treat a club legend like that’ will surface yet again in the future even after Darius and Macca are finally gone if we are stuck with a declining Matt Gillett on around $700,000 a year.
