The real premiership window - 2027 onwards

[Disco]

Jake and Tom paid around 1.2m between them in 2027?

Yeah, I could see that happening. (appreciate that it may not be precisely 50% of their current wage when you put that in your calculator)

I think 1.5mil at best.....at best.

Would be fitting DCE ends his last season like he started his first full season! (2011) Despite what someone’s friend of a cousins , brothers , uncles fitness trainer says,….. he could play on a couple more seasons and 2027 could be his last season…

 

[Dion Johnson]

Respectfully I think there is a massive difference between turbo and those players

No doubt Turbo is up there as one of the best in the game, however it would be extreme contradiction for the NRL to push back on a potential reduced contract when that time comes.

After the Ben Hunt contract with the Donkeys, the NRL must have a rule set they worked off for this to happen and they have now set a precedent, any decent club CEO would be using this as its platform should they have a player take unders.

I do understand that the situation with Gifty has raw wounds for Manly fans and the club and it’s frustrating when others have been able to take unders lately.

All so true Dion, but as we know with smart accounting skills, I feel often these "unders" are perhaps made up in a financial way's outside of the contract "we see".....the NRL have a funny way of looking through smokey glasses for some NRL sides whilst others get the magnifying glass treament, like us.

No time like the present.

All that is way to logical for the NRL

I would say fair value in 2025 is $1.5m - Tom $900k and Jake $600k -

And you want to pay those guys the same or more in 2 more years? No thanks

Jake may only be good for 25 minutes by then and Turbo who knows given his injury history.

Tom would get $1m+ on the open market without question

And also there's a massive difference between what we are allowed when we approach the NRL...and what a team like oh lets say Souths for example are allowed. Tommy already been knocked back last year by the NRL.

How did we go getting Brett Stewart or Steve Matai contracts written off just to name a few as compared to a Burgess or an Inglis or a Watmough at Parra ??

 

[Tragic Eagle]

We were poorly treated.

 

[manly al]

Interesting to speculate but prospects in 2027 seems a bit of an open question in terms of playing personal to help matters .
Definitely will have the likes of Haumole , Tent, Brooks and Saab on set contracts, Koula on a players option ,
D C E unlikely to be on the scene , Turbo very likely , Jake , fair chance , Garrick off contract next season apparently .
Still will have Alioia and Waddell on the books which does seem surprising and with the current length of their respective contracts into 27
Lehi will require a further contract extension , Bully is still not resigned for 26 .
Very hopefully , still a very competitive Manly line up in 27 and some promising juniors ready to step up to make a good impression but again , a bit hard to make a really confident call right now

 

[madmax]

Tom would get $1m+ on the open market without question

And Jake would be lucky to scrape $500k.

 

[Disco]

And Jake would be lucky to scrape $500k.

Disagree, think Jake would land 600-650k

 

[Ron E. Gibbs]

If you think Tom will be taking 600k in 2027 then I have a Nigerian prince I want to introduce you to.

Tell me more about this Nigerian prince. I'd love to meet him!

 

[EagleGT]

Tell me more about this Nigerian prince. I'd love to meet him!

I think he is actually from Zamunda.

 

[Rocky]

in 2025 yes.

 

[double hoops]

No doubt. But I reckon he'd make 4 x the amount external to the Salary Cap if he can win a premiership next to his 2 brothers.

The brothers are already golden haired children having won nothing.

Just imagine the advertising $ if the turbos are the new Burgess Brothers.

 

[Rocky]

Disagree, think Jake would land 600-650k

So you would pay Jake that money in 2027 for a couple of years?

There is a fair chance he is totally washed by then imo.

hope im wrong he can still play a significant role

 

[eaglebuzz]

I think Tom will take a pay cut out of loyalty to the club, sticking by him whilst he was very injury prone. He already asked the NRL to let him take a pay cut and they knocked him back because they were worried about precedent. On his next contract they won't be able to play that card.

Jake's value is dropping naturally. He's a shadow of his former self, especially in attack.
