Mitchell Moses is on $800k and we saw 2 weeks ago just how much better Burton is than him.
They were all useless under Barrett only because the style of footy Barrett coached WAS useless.
makes me depressed thinking about the style of footy he was having us play holy fuck
I guess you could be "technically" correct since Munster is on $1.1m or $1.0m, depending on who you believe.
He's worth 800k for sure. He'd get a mill from clubs like tigers and titans.
That's not true, we have JAC, Kikau, King, Kiraz, Mahony, TPJ, Schoupp and Sutton on contract for 2024. Unless my maths has deserted me that's 8 players. Even then we have a healthy 22 spots available in the 30.
Yes true, a Father should earn more than his son!
Gus has said 3, but the sentiment remains.
Hunt and Brooks aren't worth that money. Burton is worth more than 800k. If we don't pay that, half the clubs in the comp gladly will. Either way, it's not worth speculating or getting worked up about as Gus will pay him what he's worth.
Sure, they don't, but recent history tells us teams aren't winning shit without a halfback steering the team around and clubs will pay through the nose when they think they have one and that's why you end up with players like Brooks pushing near a mill a season. Roosters even sent out a busted Cronk in a final just because having his voice on the field was more valuable than a fully fit player. Average salary for a top 5 halfback is around $1.1m while the top 5 5/8's is around 750k, Storm have also offered Munster a reduced wage now that they've got Hughes and Paps locked in so that also follows the trend. If a club is going to be offering Burton near a mill a season then chances are they're some dead end club that isn't going to feature in the finals anyway,
100% right. We need to lock him up long term and pay him what a top spine player deserves.
Important thing is, those 8 are players we actually want and need in our team, Sutton pending...
What does Sutton pending mean?
