[Mr. Brownstone]

$750k a season after recent pay rises sounds about right I reckon. Some change we can put into effect also.

As I’ve already made very clear, I don’t rate him at all.

 

[WA Warrior]

750k…… Surely we are smarter than that!

 

[Zarjaz]

Tabled, not yet accepted, so who knows… thing I wonder about is the 3 years if he's coming off injuries etc, but I guess that's what you have to offer to get someone across the ditch.

What other props running around are currently on $730k

Where does he fit in the dollar ranking?

 

[WahsUltras]

He will be 32/33 by the end of the proposed 3 year contract. This is a retirement deal waiting to happen.

 

[Billyspleen75]

Niukore
Barnett
BHU
Tohu (for 25) / Zyon Maiu’u
Walker
Ale

Not behd, good size.

 

[Tokyo Warrior]

Any chance he comes early?

 

[Inruin]

Any chance he comes early?

I'm not sure what the relevance of that is. Happens to many, so I've heard.

 

[Mr. Brownstone]

What other props running around are currently on $730k

Where does he fit in the dollar ranking?

Way below half way.

 

[Tokyo Warrior]

I'm not sure what the relevance of that is. Happens to many, so I've heard.

If we sign Rudolf they can come together.

 

[Wrighty]

BHU
6 foot 3
115kgs


he turned 29 on Jan 9th 2024

So 2025 30 years old
2026 31 years old
2027 32 years old
Then retires presumably

 

[Hatchet Harry]

View attachment 4952 The deal is reportedly set to be worth 2.2 million. The sharks have also offered him a deal to remain at the shire.

If true, how much freight are the sharks paying given the deal for AFB? I’d suggest a decent chunk.

 

[Noitall]

BHU
6 foot 3
115kgs


he turned 29 on Jan 9th 2024

So 2025 30 years old
2026 31 years old
2027 32 years old
Then retires presumably

11 months older than AFB.

 

[Noitall]

If true, how much freight are the sharks paying given the deal for AFB? I’d suggest a decent chunk.

If it’s for 2025, he’s off contract at the end of 2024 so free to be negotiated with.

 

[Mr. Brownstone]

If true, how much freight are the sharks paying given the deal for AFB? I’d suggest a decent chunk.

Highly doubt it. Sounds more like we’re competing with the Sharks for his bog average service.

 

[JaggedJ]

Nah, definitely not worth that sort of money imo.

[Tookey 2.0]

Whoa, I'm shocked. 750k is waaay overs for him. Screams of desperation from us to ensure we have something lined up after AFB.

If true, even if BHU hated the Warriors he would take that. Probably an extra year and $150k more each year that he'd get from anyone else. May as well get behind it I guess

 

[Cces]

750k today is about what 565k was this time last year before the new CBA was signed

 

[WA Warrior]

Whoa, I'm shocked. 750k is waaay overs for him. Screams of desperation from us to ensure we have something lined up after AFB.

This is an offer previous Warriors management and coach’s would make.
Webby is smarter than this surely , 450-500 max.
