He is absolutely worth the money but it is still too much when we want to build a premiership winning squad.

Most of the top sides have a fullback on similar money to Walsh.

The Roosters won back to back premierships with Teddy on a million a season (smaller salary cap too)

Edwards at the Panthers and Paps at the Storm are reportedly both on 950k or more
 
He's bankable and a legit gun who we can now build our side around because he is locked in for ages, this is massive. His reported salary is well within acceptance for a player of his class, really can't complain unless you just like to complain.

Now we need to lock up Willison. Then hopefully Staggs and Cobbo or at least one of them but neither on too much.
 
The fact Walsh is back at training already shows that his pay cheque is probably going to pay off. He's got the skills already but he wants to work harder and improve to be a better player and wants to be the best he can be.
1.25 mil a year could become unders for him if he improves over the next 4 years under Madge.
 
If Walsh went to the open market he easily becomes the highest paid player in the game, easily.

He's established himself as a very marketable individual and he can obviously play too. So if it's 1-1.2, somewhere in there, it's what you'd expect to pay at a bare minimum.

Let's face it, anyone complaining probably hasn't left the 90's yet when we had half the QLD Origin side playing for a pie and a coke.

I have no doubt that 5 million also includes an upgrade on his 2025 contract... So in reality is is 5 million over 5 years.

We also have to remember that the cap goes up each year for the next couple of years

Not by much though, the total increase over the next 3 years is $450k
 
Its a no brainer, he brings fans and corporates to games even if we are playing like shit, the board are already counting the dollars.
 
I'm still of the opinion right now its too much money for a fullback who is only top tier in attack. If he can add the fullback basics to his game in defence, its a really good deal. If he cant, then it looks like we will have overpayed.

I actually think 2025 is going to be the year we see if its going to be a good deal or not. Not in terms of him becoming the finished article, but more if he can add more to his game than attacking flair and unpredictability. He's not a rookie anymore. He's got 5 origins and 75 NRL games under his belt. We have now got a proven coach to help guide him along.
 
Walsh is elite on one side of the ball…

Not worth this money imo… glad he’s on our team but another overs contract…

Walsh will improve as the team improves, game plans, set plays and the like. His defence will improve as the teams defence improves and that should be highest priority on Madge’s preseason. I don’t care if he spends half the season working on our defence. Our attack will just follow along once we get that bit right.
A bit like Bennett did with St George when they came good.
