Not even on 200k as of 2004? Would be very surprised if that was the case.....more than likely papers fudging their figures to make his departure look more likely and sell papers. he would have been on much more than that by 2004, IMO.Highly doubt it. In 2004, El Masri was offered $2,000,000 over 4 years to play Rugby in France - meaning $500,000 per year. At the time, El Masri was not even on $200,000 here at the Bulldogs - which is equivalent of him being offered more than the 300k you speak of.
Everyone, myself included, was so sure he would take that offer. I was surprised when we re-signed him tbh.
