When Thurston was playing 5/8 for the Cowboys, QLD and Australia in around 2012 he was re-signed for 5 Mill across 4 years... don't even need a calculator to know that is more than a Mill a year. Thurston was a player that could play both 5/8 and Half Back. Just like Burton will be able to once he gets more confidence in the halves. He already would be the best Half Back at the club. But that is not saying much.There isn't a single 5/8 in the game that earns a million a season so it isn't realistic at all.
If you don't think Burton in a couple of years could be the most dominating 5/8 in the game, you are dreaming. If we sign him for 5 years I can't see him on less than a mill a year in the later years.
