    He's worth more than $600k in this climate though IMO.

    Yeh given the minutes he can play he should be one of the highest paid middle players in the game.

    He's a machine at club level.

    Would happily pay 700k plus Esprit if over 3 yrs with cap increases plus likely improvement

    I'd throw dollars at him just to have fitzgibbons dressed up at club functions

    600k is less than a 10th of the cap. It's worth it.

    Tony Williams, Ryan Hoffman & Kevin Proctor all got offers of 600k and above.

    What's the tax like on those figures? Surely you're looking at only pocketing 30k- of an extra 100k?

    Although I guess they'd have it all moving around behind the tax man

    You think the top rate of tax in Australia is 70%? I'd kill myself.

    45% plus medicare levy (2%) is the highest marginal rate currently and that's over and above 180k. So he's pocket 53k for every 100k. There's always work arounds though.

    Wouldn't put it past the fuckers.

    Well there you go, I'd always assumed there was one above that at the half mil mark.

    That's what it is in France, isn't it?

  14. Cribbage RG Cribb

    Even higher I think. And that's why France is in economic ruin.

    Love paying taxes to those friendly well-intentioned jews in the government.

    France's taxes aren't too different to ours.

    The 75% bullshit is just a 1 year fundraising effort of sorts.

    Strange signing for them, not sure where he fits in tbh.

    It's a player swap, you have acquired Matt Mcilwrick.

    And Fensom will miss the start of the season. And we let go of White + TLL so he's signed as a prop rotation member I'm guessing.

    Yeh I don't think it'll work, he just doesn't have the endurance to be a prop & it's not like he just needs to get in shape he genuinely has a medically diagnosed breathing problem.

    Puts more pressure on blokes like Papalii & Fensom to up their workrate in attack which is dire because we all know what Papalii can do and I think Fensom's quality is understated, IMO he's much better off taking 10-12 quality runs a game than 18-20 average ones.

    FPN could serve a purpose in a quality pack with strong depth but for mine Canberra isn't that.
