Nope. 3 years from July 2004.DaveO posted:I think DV is also on a four year deal, which just adds weight to your theory of course.GeoffN posted:
Very few clubs, ourselves included, offer 4-year deals to new signings of any age. Of our current squad, only Danny Orr is on that length of contract, which might explain why 2 or 3 years is the norm!

I'm prepared to accept that was also the excuse for Harvey NoYards less-than impressive performances when he came back to the UK from Aus...! I hope that Moz performs as well for Warrington as HH did for Wigan...TWO EYED WARRIOR posted:
If PNB HAS any sense? then he'll already realise that sydney roosters have had the best out of Moz,watching him on Sky he really has put himself about and the nrl competition without doubt the toughest,will have taken its toll on Moz.
I was trying to be generous, rather than saying outright that the guy was an overrated crock of ***** and I could never understand why he was so highly rated even whilst in Aus....TWO EYED WARRIOR posted:Bit of difference though fraggle,Harvey H was a journeyman to start off with toing and froing from code to code and oz to uk.Fraggle posted:I'm prepared to accept that was also the excuse for Harvey NoYards less-than impressive performances when he came back to the UK from Aus...!

Warrington have apparently offered Morley a 4 year deal, which for a 30 year old player (by the time he joins them next season) is quite a gamble.
little difference in offering a 29/30yr old a 4yr deal as opposed to a 32yr old a 2yr deal...don't you think? other than one of them is world class and he'll play for warrington.
As the person who posted the message after this proves, many people have problems with top players being paid top money. People were happy to criticise Farrell and even Rads for eating up large parts of the salary cap when they spent parts of every season injured, and their big salaries were stopping the club bringing in more players. Obviously there are one or two other players also on big money who do not justify their salaries on current form, but I never understood that attitude when applied to our captain and our fullback who both were 100% committed to our club and both undeniably skillful players.The Black Pearl posted:
I spoke to one of Adrians mates from Salford today and he's signed a 4 year deal worth 250K a year not bad money if you can get it. The only thing I was disappointed about was the fact the Adrian Morley chose Warrington over the mighty Wigan. Also Martin Gleeson signed for Warrington because they offered him more than we could offer. Come on whats gone wrong with the world.
Me either. If clubs want top players like those two they have to pay salaries around the £200K mark or more.Fraggle posted:

If my lower fgure is correct then it is reasonable for two years maybe but after that? No way should anyone be paying someone the age he will be by then £125K a year.But quarter of a million is a big chunk out of any team's salary cap. It's more than we were paying Faz for a player that won't have the contribution to the team that Farrell had.
