For those debating Critta's value, supposedly Bula (who I rate and think is/will be really good) was re-signed recently and will get 800-900k in the last year of his deal.. And he hasn't even played a full year of FG..

So a 3 time premiership winner, Origin player and a top 3 centre in the comp at only 24 isn't exactly bad value at 750-800k when the market is so crazy that Bula will be on 800k and players like the Fainu brothers are on 500k each with less than 10 FG games between them..

Didn’t Sullivan get almost $600k a year at Wests as well ?

I'm not sure what amount he is on but it wouldn't surprise me. He isn't worth more than 250-300k based on what he's shown so far. I mean Shuster is on 750-800k and he's been a massive disappointment.. I know I'd rather have Crichton on that amount than Schuster etc..

U have added a consdierable amount of pepper to ur Bula figures. His contract is 2.7m over 4yrs, 675k per year. So lets get that straight first and foremost. Considering Bula carried the tigers in his first yr of footy in a challenging key position id say hes worth every cent over that term. We are still without a proven fullback so shouldnt be throwing stones. But lets hope crichton could be that. Albeit we will be paying crichton approx 250k per annum more than Bula

Did you read what I said? Clearly not.. I said 800k in the last year of his deal. That's what's being reported. As per below from Fox Sports. ..

"Bula signed a mammoth extension with the Leichhardt-based club in September 2023, locking in his services until the end of 2027.

The young gun is reportedly set to pocket between $2.7m and $2.8m, with the final year of his contract earning him $800,000 or $900,000 depending on whether he or the club takes up their option."

As I said, Schuster is on similar money to Crichton. Who would you rather have?

U provided no perspective like the fact that as a 24yr old Bula will be earning about half of what Crichton will at the same age with us.

Dont care about schuster. Other clubs making recruitment bungles wont make me feel better about our own and nor should it with u

My point is proven. On average Bula is on nearly 700k a year when he hasn't played a full year of FG. Critta is on 750k when he's way more proven and accomplished.

You're the one debating whether he is overpaid. You can't make that argument without factoring in other players salaries to compare. And by comparison to a lot of other players, like Best getting 700k, Critta at 750k isn't crazy money. But you can ignore facts, logic and reason all you want..

2024 is our 90th season but we turn 90 in 2025. So i reckon when Gus says "2025 is the club’s 90th season" that is incorrect.
That is correct. It just looks better to have 1935-2025 rather then 1935-2024 and having to explain it to everyone [emoji23]

Agree. Wasn't 75 years proud on 04 heritage jersey ?
