All we need to do now is to remove the salary cap.

I’m actually happy with those numbers compared to what I was fearing. Feels like this has been ‘agreed’ to for 6 months though.

The board will be happy, they know Reece on his own will keep the fans and corporates rocking up and paying the money even if we are playing like bustards on the field.

Don't need to competitive, just need the popular players to show a bit of flash every now and then and the money keeps rolling in.

Seems to me like the club and agent had agreed, based on Walsh's terms, but pending a signature. The agent leaked it to the press, Walsh got pedantic, and maybe a touch cocky in the backdrop of his Origin hype, and here we are back on the same page after his season fizzled.

It's really the same story as before. It would be interesting to know if it's the same deal or maybe even slightly less money.

Or more PO's added.

If he was delaying in the hope that his price goes up he may want options included to allow a salary review in a few years time

While true, I’m pretty sure most pundits would agree that fullback is in the vicinity of the right area to pay big money.

I would say Walsh is the right area, and the right player, to spend big money on. But, as with Ezra, and the likes of Milford and Bird before them, there is always the risk they won't deliver as hoped. There is still time for Ezra.

i mean the gist of his opinion piece is why we should make a play at walker,totally agree with the walsh signing maybe 100-200k a bit more than id like a year
