if you look what players are paid for their total salary vs the number of games star players play, Manly have the 2 highest paid players in the NRL.

DCE was recently seen as the highest paid player in the NRL. DCE is hardly ever injured and plays most matches.

Turbo if you divide the number of games he has played in the last 2 seasons, he is definitely the highest paid player in the NRL. $1+ mill for a half a season is crazy.
Does Turbo have clauses in his contract that specifies a certain number of games? He is signed for the next 5 years.

I really hope Turbo gets over his injury issues, but at the moment he is providing poor value for money.

It is clearly affecting our ability to buy backline players other than bargain basement types.
 
I believe Tom's new contract hasn't started yet, and is still being paid his current deal for this season. Not 100% sure on that but I'm sure I read something along those lines when they re-signed last year. Six year deal starts 2021.
 
He was on 350K at one stage so i'm guessing still on at least 200K..very possibly 250K. Minimum wage is 105 or 110K, can't access it from my brain right now.

Turbo is still bargain basement compared to Snakes last year... or Watmough for that matter... we sure know how to pay a guy to sit on the sidelines at Brookie...
 
Are the Turbo brothers actually signed at a lower than market rate like they said they would.
Or are we paying overs?
