Quote easyWire="easyWire"I think it was more likely $335k a year, about £187,500. So if we guarantee him £800k over 4 years that would seem about right. Not sure he’s worth it but he’s young enough and there aren’t many halfbacks available of his quality... not the sort of classic ‘little general’ scrum half I was hoping for to guide us round the park though... maybe we can get a Gale or Drinkwater style player alongside Austin.
That’s if it’s even true - still a rumour for me until it’s announced.'"
he was rumoured to have knocked back a $2.4 million four year deal from Canberra ($600k a year)
$2.4 million aussie dollars is £1.3 million quid.
£1.3 million quid divided by 4 is £335,000 per year.
the average NRL salary is $370k aus dollars so earning $600k for him was a good wage. The top names however all earn $1million a year.
he's a quality player though and i'm more than happy to see us pay £300k plus.....
