News Brett Dallas faces 25 YEARS jail

[Headmix]

25 years... !?? First degree murder gets less!

 

[Pity Fool]

A million dollars a year back in the 90s for a winger yeah right, pull the other leg! What a muppet of a journo get a grip on reality mate.

 

[Pity Fool]

You clearly missed the Super League era. Players were getting paid all sorts of crazy shit.

(Having said that, it's likely to be an exaggeration, or he had a 7 figure contract spread over several sessions, which is how it usually gets reported...)

Only the likes of Brad Fittler, Andrew Johns, Laurie Daley etc were getting those amounts of money not wingers playing for North Sydney ffs!

Heaps of players got paid overs I remember hearing story of warrior reserve grade that look like Richie Blackmore. The super league rep just walk up to signed him and handed him 250k cash cheque sign on bonus.

The rep only realise about after he sign the wrong player and tried to get the cheque back but the player was happy play for super league.

I think Wendell salior went from 22k to a 2 million dollar deal.

Terry Lamb came out of retirement I think the Parramatta team had salary of over 10 million plus all the sign on bonus.

One exception to this was Manly bought Terry Hill (Tezztha) a house in Seaforth on top of his contract. Am sure a few other one off deals like that were in place.

Most of the non-elite players hit the jackpot with the one-off loyalty sign on payments which were funded by Packer and Murdoch.

I think what the journalist meant was, a million dollars for his contract period, say 300k per year over 3 years.... that doesn't seem ridiculous.

It doesn't matter how messed you end up, stealing is the worst.
Maybe he thought they wouldn't catch him as he is quick.

The original headline (per the OP) was 'Million-dollar-a-year footy star'.
Certainly no ambiguity there.

Nope, just the inability to add up, which is typical of journalists.

Well played Richie well played son! I bet the Super League was sacked after that mishap lol

 

[ALX25]

Glad I haven't run into him in Mackay.

 

[blueyedsamurai]

I thought he went completely mad? Wasn't he posting incoherent messages on social media a year back?

 

[Noeasyday]

Yep sad indeed however made his own bed...25 years is probably somewhat overstated but could do 5 to 10 if guilty...either way he has fucked his life up stupid fool, say no to drugs EVERYONE.

Used to run around opposition wingers in limited space, he was that quick...

Except cocaine, always say yes to cocaine.

 

[Phalangist]

It was bound to happen. Maybe a stint in jail is what he needs and help him turn his life around.

Why was it bound to happen?
Do you know him on a personal level?

I don't think you need to know him on a personal level to know that he needs help....

 

[Phalangist]

I don't think you need to know him on a personal level to know that he needs help....

no I said that because you said it was bound to happen, like you knew it was coming.

 

[CroydonDog]

no I said that because you said it was bound to happen, like you knew it was coming.

Well, he is an unstable junkie who got done for stealing like ten times last year.

okay I didn’t know that

 

[CroydonDog]

okay I didn’t know that

There's another thread somewhere on him after he posted some truly weird shit on twitter. Would've been maybe a year ago?

 

[Paulie Gualtieri]

I love how they bash the fuck out of Chrissy the fuckwit.

Fuckin junkies
