Who's reported the 1.2m?

I'm not one to believe the reporters in Australia but given he's asked for a release, his team has stated on numerous occasions he isn't getting paid what he deserves, there are MULTIPLE sources saying he wants that much, there is no denial that he wants a million despite him doing 7000 media interviews since the story broke, ikin also not denying the amount, and his managements track record and general stupidity I think it's as bloody concrete as you can get......

The thing for me is he has done SO MUCH media since the boos. So, so, so much more then he normally does, including origins in the past and this was his chance to back it up. If he spent half the time he did doing interviews on listening to some motivational speakers to psych up (joking) he'd be in a far better position now. Stop talking, start showing you're irreplaceable!

The laying into haas for his origin game here is a bit much. He was actually quite good for the blues, maybe their best forward. But they were dominated across the park. Is Cleary a better 7 than DCE? Yes, absolutely. But they were all out enthused and I think coached poorly.
I don’t think that Patty is better than Payne just yet, but he’s definitely as good as, with more upside. That’s the reality that Payne needs to get used to, unless he goes and works on his aggression/ptb speed.

he’s been getting some very bad advice, he’s be better served listening to one of his best mates, Patrick.

At what point does it become evident that Payne’s issues aren’t just poor advice but poor character? Wasn’t getting into his team mate on the advice of his manager? Was threatening a female police officer on the advice of his manager?

Well I don't know, his manager comes across as a meme so anything is possible which is why I'm wondering how solid the 1.2m is, because if there's any truth to it, they're in lala land.

I did check and you're right it is Badel's "understood" figures.

maybe it was a negotiating tactic hoping that we'd split the difference, or meant to outrage us so we'd release him.

I fully believe they would have been happy with any offer from us that basically meant cancelling his current deal and signing a new one (either with us or someone else) so they get paid. as it stands they can't make any money from their new cash cow until 2025
 
Perhaps we are now seeing the rationalisation of some of these contract values. Fifita was never worth what the Titans paid, nor JT for the Cowboys. You cannot afford to pay forwards that kind of money. Not if you want to have a successful club.

There's also the argument that at least those two players can actually be regular game-breakers when they are in form. Haas is always in form and has never been a regular game-breaker - why a club would offer up a contract in the same ballpark as those two?
 
Workhorse money...a good work horse

but thats it.

800K is being generous. The current deal he has is plenty good enough as it rolls on. There's no way we should be moving from it.
 
ReWatching Origin; Props on Props:

Pat is much sexier than Payne.
Combing back his locks. Should be at the bow of a ship. Pointing the way to land.

Pat also has more mongrel than Payne in defence by a mile.

Although Pat doesn't metre eat, he has more football IQ than Payne, which leads to better next play.

Pat is also on half the money, and none of the drama.

Payne is often found doing the 1 percenters in chasing down a last play and such. But he is still a traitorous, self serving, opportunistic douchebag who is easily manipulated by smoke in arse, and the purr of a bill counter.

Choose your weapons...Payne is a reliable workhorse. Nothing more, nothing less.

F**k him off and upgrade Selwyn, Patty, and loyal, proven talent.

Patty had him beat as a metre eater too.
