What is Junior worth

We all want junior to stay but what is the max we should pay?Rumours are Raiders offered $500-$550k and we can't come closeAlso lots of rumours he has already signed but no source mentionedHoping it is either his manager stirring fans to get an outcry and Parra to put up moreOr Ricky stirring to get fans to turn on Junior to encourage him to leave

    • Until he can show that he can complete a season without injury & big suspensions he deminishes his selling power, be that to the Raiders (apt club name under Stuart) or eels.

      When Stuart was at Parra, he got Papali signed but he ended up reniging & staying at Canberra, has gone from strength to strength down there but the reduced interchange may have an affect, & maybe they will interchange owing to their brute size & strengths.

      As for Parra, they will have to look very closely at their fowards from next year if Pauli does go, as several of the players are getting older, & that perhaps is a strength with Paulo, still young so may add a few extra $$'s to his worth.

  • Is the salary cap going up next year?
    • Cheers!
  • X2
  • Norman would be the first priority signing and is a must, followed by Jnr.
    400-450 tops. However the fact that at his young age, Jnr has tremendous ability & will certainly improve & is likley become one if the games premium props, & this will put rival suitors over the 500k mark no doubts.

    A must signing
  • There seems to be a lot of love for Junior at this club.

    Yep he is good but he is a front rower at the end of the day and plays only 50 mins.

    You can always find a front rower but like Wayne Bennett has stated before you dont spend overs to keep them.

    Junior is not worth more than 300k right now and into the future 350k

  • I'd be waiting to see how he goes in the first 6-10 weeks. He has the physicality to potentially be one of the best in the game but he hasn't yet shown that he's got what it takes to consistently be one of the better performing props, week in week out.

    The first 2 months of the comp should make the issue alot clearer I reckon, one way or the other. I personally expected more of him last year.

  • I think he worth around $480 a year

    • You drive a hard bargain Paul
  • When buying a player his worth is a delicate balance.

    Your not only paying them on how good they are right now, if they are a player still on the upward climb like junior who clearly has potential to get a lot better, you are paying extra for that potential and because they are still young and on an upward climb not a downhill one.

    And its always a gamble.

    Juniors probably worth about 400k now imo, throw on top of that his potential in the next few years, that figure will rise up to 500k+

    So if the raiders have offered 500k no i dont think its overs at all, not in todays market.

    Some people here really underestimate player worth these days, there were people here thinking Hiku was only worth 350k on this market, you cant get shit for 350k these days, if we are talking about an international coming from a backline like manly we are talking 4OOK minimum imo
