I think if anything is to be learnt from this it's that, sure you can get 800k but there has to be some incentives in that contract.
800k is an elite player. Not what you play a player you are hoping is elite.
Hope we don't make the same mistake with someone like Cerra who is asking elite money and Fremantle will ask for elite player compensation. He well may well become that player, but he isn't that player yet.
....if 800k is actually the figure.
....and if whatever figure it actually is, hasn't already been heavily incentivised.
Everytime I read figures like that I think that's max amount. Take out bonuses for AA, top 3 (5 or 10) in the b+f, finals bonuses etc etc etc and he may only get 500k.
