Re: Rumours and signings v9 : Tue Feb 07, 2023 10:10 pm  
I wonder if the eight year contract is a bit like Chelsea have been doing in football- as a device to spread costs over the lifetime of the contract (although I know with the salary cap it cannot be exactly the same but other things such as image rights etc may come into play) and also to ensure that any club wanting to sign him have to pay a hefty fee due to the amount of time the contract would have to run. Some smart accounting going on there I think - it is the only reason I can see someone signing an eight yeear contract which is really odd in RL.

Brodie Croft won’t be coming here anyway, he’s signed an 8 (eight) year deal at Salford! Fair play to them for that.

*felt the need to do the old video printer style confirmation that I meant 8.


Excellent news for Salford and SL.

Not trying to be critical about this contract renewal but I'd be absolutely staggered if he even stays for another 3 years. Its good business from Salford because it will ensure a big transfer fee should he go back to the NRL as clubs can't wait for his contract to expire.

I've no doubt there will be clauses within the contract if certain financials are met and £250-300k would be a hell of a lot of money for Salford.

He's a great player and I simply can't see him not going back to the NRL in the next 3 years.

Agreed great business for Salford but if he’s still there in 7/8 years I’ll eat my hat

I said to a Salford supporting mate that I still wouldn't bet against him being at one of the big four SL clubs or in the NRL come 2024.

Matt Shaw reporting its a four year deal with four years of options. By that logic Bevan French signed a four year deal with Wigan.

It is interesting that it's a marquee deal. First, where is the money coming from? If its from new investment/income then great. If not, hopefully its not a gamble that backfires on them.

Have they restarted their academy? I noticed they played Wigan at the weekend but was under the impression they abandoned their youth system a few years ago due to costs.

They are attempting to rebuild their youth pathways.
