I reckon hannat is work 200-220 k MAX, no way is he worth 350.
I don't see why my post was deleted, so I'm re-posting this post ;)
I reckon the reason Hannat has secured such a good contract is that there is a lack of quality front rowers in the NRL at the moment. Look at Origin - the 2 best forwards on the field were well into their 30's and gave the young blokes a lesson. Each NRL team probably has 5-6 props in their top 25 players and really probably the only quality, pure front rowers going around are:
Price
Petero
Bailey
Ryles
Kite
Cayless
Asotasi
With the up and comers being:
Hannant
Poore
Luke Douglas
That is 10 I can think of who are/will be top class out of the 80/90 spots that clubs are looking to fill with front row talent. I know there are a few blokes out injured at the moment and there are plenty of blokes who can fill a spot in the front row but when you play back rowers as props in big games you get found out pretty quickly.
the roosters have one awesome forward pack.
