2024 NRL Player Movements & Rumours

He’s turned down the Storm too, they offered him three years and he’s taking one.

I think he didn’t get the money he thought so is backing himself to have a good 12 months and do this again in 12 months for 2027 and prove he’s a million dollar player.

But that doesn't make sense either, because the Storm won't pay him that for a long-term deal with the young bloke coming through.

Yet it was on the table this time around and he turned it down. He's not likely to get a better deal than the one which was offered, in 12 months' time, from any club, even if he kills it this year...and the risk to him is another injury blows that opportunity completely apart for good.

It doesn't make sense no matter which way you spin it. He's taking all the risk for no real (apparent) reward, certainly not now, nor in the future.

Storm are a fine, upstanding club though, they would NEVER consider illegally offering players incentives outside the cap. Nothing to see here...
