Message: [QUOTE="BroncsFan, post: 2938035, member: 9052"] What doesn't really get mentioned is that way back when Oates first started talking about going to 2nd row (I think it was before signing his contract last year) it was mentioned that he wanted second row because they get paid more or something along those lines. Who would be paying $600k for an untested second rower?? Because that is basically what he is after. Storm are pretty much tight asses so whilst he might get a second row spot there he wouldn't be getting anywhere near what he is currently getting. Rabbits may offer him the world, but there's no guarantee he keeps the second row spot whilst also keeping his pay packet. Supposedly bunnies are after felise and papa as well and you'd think marquee second row money would go to one of them before an untried second rower not to mention a large chunk of change invested in Sammy B. That would be a significant amount of money in the back row. I think the only place he gets what he wants pay wise with a pathway to second row is the broncos. Other locations just seem smoke and mirrors unless he's willing to take a pay cut and considering he chose to play wing this year (his contract year) over plying his second row trade in ISC or off the bench it would appear money is a high priority. I have no doubt he'd make a great second rower, but it would be a risk to sign him untried in that position at a starter's wage [/QUOTE]
