2022 Rich list
First 50 out today in The Daily Telegraph. The Raiders have six players on it…
77 Elliott Whitehead $590,000
70 Nick Cotric $600,000
Four to come tomorrow.
https://www.dailytelegraph.com.au/sport ... 2e4eb8fe25
A staggering nine players who starred in Queensland’s Origin series boilover of the Blues this season were omissions from the NRL’s Rich 100 list.
They include newly minted Wally Lewis Medallist Pat Carrigan, his Broncos teammate Selwyn Cobbo, Melbourne flyer Xavier Coates and North Queensland’s awesome foursome of Reuben Cotter, Jeremiah Nanai, Tom Dearden and Tom Gilbert.
Roosters and Queensland hardman Lindsay Collins missed the cut, while Maroons hooker Harry Grant has rocketed to superstar status at Melbourne on a deal still less than $500,000 this season.

They reckon Nicho Hynes is only on $600,000.

Re: 2022 Rich list
Wow, Cotric too expensive for what he produces. Not worth that on the open market. Should run hard like Hoppa last weekend and earn some of that. Hope Dogs chipping in at least $200,000. Whitehead should retire and is not even worth $290,000 on the open market.

Re: 2022 Rich list
590 for Whitehead is appalling.
I wonder who negotiated that deal?
My guess ordinarily would be DFJ but I wouldn’t be surprised if this is another one of those things that isn’t his department.

Some serious questions need to be asked about this contract and what has been put in place to ensure it does not happen again.Mickey_Raider wrote:590 for Whitehead is appalling.

As said above I hope we are not paying all that for Cotric

Re: 2022 Rich list
I thought we didn't re-sign Cotric originally because we baulked at paying $500,000 for a winger, and he went to the dogs on $650,000. Now we get him back and we're willing to fork out $100,000 a year more than when we let him go? As mentioned, the dogs better be tipping in at least $200,000 a year for that contract.
I also find it incredible how underpaid some star players are. I know we need to pay them a Canberra tax to get them here, but if Harry Grant is on less than $500,000, surely we could lure him here on Hodgson's $900,000? Or put in a competitive offer to Nicho Hynes?

Two years is a long time. It was considered overs at the time. It’s definitely overs on what’s delivered since.

Re: 2022 Rich list
That's depressing.
Cotric who is no better than any average NRL winger and Whitehead who is no better than anyone.

Re: 2022 Rich list
I think a test of a player's value in first grade is if they are too good for reserve grade. If they go back to reserve grade and still suck, they're no good. I image if Whitehead went back to reserves he wouldn't dominate at that level, he'd be just as gassed and ineffective as he is now. Someone like Tapine would destroy that level like Sonny Bill.

You mean like CHN who was by all accounts stinking it up in reserve grade before getting a spot in firsts due to injuries? So what would you consider his value to the team?Finchy wrote:I think a test of a player's value in first grade is if they are too good for reserve grade.

This is total earnings. it was well reported that the bulldogs were paying a good chuck of frieght on that. So assuming this is 100% accurate (it's probably not but rather a pretty good estimation), Cotric is getting 600k and what of that we pay right now vs the bulldogs is unknown
But i would guess it's something like a 400k vs 200k split, so he might be getting paid 600k but as far as we're concerned, he's on much less than that for this year and i believe next (from memory we take the deal on in its entirity from 2024 onwards)
Re: 2022 Rich list
I assume he only got back into firsts due to injury issues. It certainly wasn't based on form. Someone with his talent should be able to dominate reserve grade, but he clearly has an attitude problem.Raider Azz wrote: ↑August 13, 2022, 4:16 pmYou mean like CHN who was by all accounts stinking it up in reserve grade before getting a spot in firsts due to injuries?

If our first grade team didn't suck, and if we didn't have injuries, and we could actually score points without him, then I think he should have stayed in reserve grade until he demanded first grade selection. But for a raft of reasons that didn't eventuate.

Between the Hodgson, Croker and Whitehead contracts, the depth of our squad has been sorely tested this season.

To make the mistake on Croker is shocking, but then to double down and go all in on Whitehead is unforgivable.
Can someone confirm who is responsible for that department?

Re: 2022 Rich list
Yeah I never really agreed with the whole "your market value is whatever someone is willing to pay you." David Fifita is getting paid $1.2 millions by the Titans. Is he worth it? No. Would any other club pay that much for him? Doubtful. If they do they're insane.greeneyed wrote: ↑August 13, 2022, 5:14 pmIt was considered overs by the Raiders themselves as they let Cotric go to the Bulldogs.

Some bad clubs pay overs and well above a player's true market value to get them. $650K for Cotric was definitely overs, and the dogs realised that only 1 season into the contract, as you pointed out.

I believe initial reports implied they would chip in roughly 200k/per the first 2 seasons. We're then on the books for 600k the final season. Terrible deal, his output has matched a 300k deal at best this season.

Form those figures we also must have upgraded Cotric to entice him to return. After the 2021 he had that's just laughable if it happened.

Look I’m good with all - if you want individual Croker records you got to fork out big cash! Cotric is a local lad and it’s good symmetry to have him back and Whitehead is a great lad.
Sure none of the three provide anything of value but it just makes sense!

We can quibble about whether that is in fact a good deal but they didnt do this as any favour to the dogs, they'd have kept Cotric had he been willing to stay for the money he's on our cap for right now... again, you can agree or disagree with their player assesssment but we took Cotric back because we thought it was a good deal, not to help the dogs out.

Re: 2022 Rich list
It’s a sad state of affairs when if given the forced option, I’d take David Fifita at $1 million over Moses Mbye at $900k.
That’s the greatest Moses miracle in 2000 years.
Lodge and Pengai jr at $900k, no wonder Broncos were struggling when they had these two on their books.
