Curtis Scott willing to accept massive paycut
Curtis Scott is willing to cop a $500,000-a-year pay cut to resume his career, with the axed Raider prepared to play for the minimum wage. Without a deal for next season, Scott is hopeful a club will offer him a chance.

Re: Canberra Raiders sack Curtis Scott
Given that he is currently unemployed, is it really a pay cut? He’d be banking on a team’s scouting department having lost the last 2 years of his tape if he thinks he’s getting any kind of deal anywhere

Re: Canberra Raiders sack Curtis Scott
Well with Curtis Scott there is also the question of who in their right mind would sign him to $600k So there is some logic in his price dropping amongst fans.BadnMean wrote: ↑October 18, 2021, 7:15 amI think it was 400k the years Melbourne was topping up with 200k, then we had to assume the whole thing.

Goes to show how broken our culture is that a guy who is struggling to command $100k was a walk up start for us based on an inability to admit we'd signed a terrible deal.
Re: Canberra Raiders sack Curtis Scott
That's the problem when salaries aren't made public
fans can only go off what was reported and it was widely reported as 400k with the storm tipping in 200k.
Which can be read one of two ways, however in the Daily Telegraph's highest 100 paid players, the 99th highest paid was Mansour @ 430k, and Curtis Scott was not featured on the list, clearly implying he's below that.
Truest answer? No one **** knows
There is conflicting reports, if you want to believe he was being paid 600k, there is reports that give you credibility on that, and if you want believe he was on 400k, there are reports that give you credibility on that too
Either which way, he's on our books next year for exactly ZERO dollars and on we march. I note his rumblings of wrongful termination have gone quietly into the night also

Without salary transparency it just allows journalists to have a field day and make up any figure they want at the time to fit their narrative. No one can prove them otherwiseBotman wrote:That's the problem when salaries aren't made public

Re: Canberra Raiders sack Curtis Scott
It also may have been part of the contract that his salary increased each year...
Its entirely possible his deal scaled up each year, and that initial reports of him being on 400k with the storm tipping in 200k was correct in 2020, however by the time we assume full freight in 2022, his salary, per his contract has scaled up to 600k?
Again, given the conflicting reports, we have no idea

Re: Canberra Raiders sack Curtis Scott
Curtis Scott. A man more willing to reduce his salary by $500,000 than show some self control in his drinking and anger issues.
BTW I’m dubious of the figure promoted by Curtis, the blokes a serial exaggerator.
2nd BTW. I’m willing to forgo potentially up to 10 million dollars by not buying a lottery ticket.

Re: Canberra Raiders sack Curtis Scott
Could also be a potential maximum figure if it had rep bonuses included (for example, $500k in his third year with us, plus $50k if he plays origin), and potential third party income his manager was “looking into” (approaching local business owners that have recently been kicked in the head by a horse).

Re: Canberra Raiders sack Curtis Scott
In retrospect his tattoos might have given a hint to his lack of ambition. He has a dirty great big tribute to the premiership he won at the Storm on one arm and zero space left anywhere for any sort of a follow up. Clearly doesn’t see a second premiership in his future.Roger Kenworthy wrote: ↑October 18, 2021, 1:54 pmBilly Walker wrote: ↑October 18, 2021, 12:00 pmEveryone has something to sell Conor.

Re: Canberra Raiders sack Curtis Scott
This article certainly puts the gamble on Adam Elliott into some sort of context.
Elliott might have a problem keeping it in his pants with the WAGs, but Curtis Scott screwed the fans in more ways than one.
His level of performance for the pay packet he was receiving was grand larceny. The bloke may have some talent buried in there, but it beggars belief how many chances he got here.

Re: Canberra Raiders sack Curtis Scott
Yes. Two decent ones. Waqa Blake is very good but has had regular injuries over the past few years. He can't catch a break, otherwise he'd be amongst the best centres in the game. He's big and fast.
Big wraps on Penisini - how could you forget that name. He looks good. Not huge but I'm not a size queen.

Re: Canberra Raiders sack Curtis Scott
I meant it more as a rhetorical question: as in why would they even consider it. Sometimes you have these players essentially going around at multiple clubs and not showing a great deal; they may have had talent at one stage but their off field stuff has long since taken away any performance they may show on the field
Case in point was Josh Dugan over the last couple of years. He is a **** so he is going to bring negative headlines but if his play is above average then fine it may be justifiable; however, his play was beneath first grade standard. What’s the point? Just take a punt on a kid - he will cost you less but he will most likely improve.

Difference being Scott has never been in the same league as Dugan, as far as raw talent goes. Dugan was a tackle breaking machine.

Funnily enough Scott came to us with a reputation as some sort of defensive machine. He was awful there too.
Yeah, they may get some value out of him, bit like us with Adam Elliott. Time will tell.

Dugan clearly wasn’t any good when he played at the Sharks. He was completely busted. I liked John Morris as a coach and I thought he was unfairly maligned in some quarters; time will tell whether getting rid of him and replacing him a rookie coach is the right call but as with Sticky and Curtis Scott, Morris also should have just put him in reserve grade
Re: Canberra Raiders sack Curtis Scott
Btw Adam Elliott is a terrible call. An average footballer with off field issues. If you are going to take a punt on somebody, make it on an above average footballer and suitably balance the risk- reward aspect. I hope I’m very wrong though and I’ll sing Elliott’s and Sticky’s praises if I am

He can now meet with his "brah" Cotric and go clubbing every weekend. Where's the equivalent of Komoko's that the Westie's go to?
LOL when Timoko break his tackles and HSS beats him on the outside.
Penisini and Waqa Blake are better than him anyway, though he might fight it out with Tom Opacic for the NSW Cup reserves spot.
