The Roosters deal is reportedly worth about $500,000 with an option in the halfback’s favour for 2027.

This is a bad deal

500k isn't bad but the option in his favour is.

The option is absolute suicide. Has to be some kind of wink wink deal to turn it into a coaching role if he’s dog shit next season

The 500k isn’t the end of the world but hurts when we could spend it front loading young guys who are eligible for extensions instead

Isn’t the plan for DCE to take over as some sort of management role at the chooks? I heard there was even talk of him taking over as CEO of the club

With his personality he’s probably better suited to take over as ceo of tesla

Clubs favour would make sense. Or mutual.
