Quote: easyWire "The fact that he hasn’t already been announced makes me a bit suspicious. He’ll be wanting more than the 200k GBP he’s already on, and maybe he’s holding out to see if he can get a better deal than what we think he’s worth, with another club. The last thing we want to do is make another mistake of over paying a NRL ‘star’ who turns out to be dud.'"
His earning potential is limited by the fact no NRL club is interested, so there is no extra over financial enticement needed to bring him across, if he wants to continue a professional RL career it has to be in Super League, that puts him in a SL wage bracket. We've brought Sandow, Roberts, Austin, Widdop & Williams over on marquee salaries, all of them were regular NRL starters so with a realistic opportunity to remain in the NRL (might be pushing it with Roberts). Dufty is completely different in terms of where he is in his career, so his salary will be reflective of that. I'm not saying he will be playing for peanuts, but it wont be on a similar level to the above players and I doubt £200k plus.
