I personally think SBW is overrated and the money he’s commanded astounding. No wonder the Wolfpack nearly folded - $5m/year is madness for a 35yo well past his best who was more known for shoulder charges than much else. Many will disagree but I never saw him a freak - more a good player in sides at their peak: Bulldogs ‘04, Crusaders ‘11, Chooks ‘13, All Blacks ‘11/‘15 RWC etc.Fact: SBW is a freak footballer, once in a generation.
This is also weird as it paints Richo as the deal-maker, yet Richo said about a year later that ‘we paid too much’ - which if anything is a credit to Greenberg who wouldn’t budge below $750k.Interesting to see Graham Richardson's influence...
