Would only be a discussion if he is prepared to fully buy in to the team-first mantra and culture we have created at the kennel. No BS special clauses for him like not taking anti-inflammatory medication, which slowed his shoulder recovery.

I doubt very much that he'd want to take a 300% pay cut next year to play for us, but if he did and wanted to for the right reasons, it would be worth a chat.

I'm not good at math, but if he took a 100% of $1,000,000 a year pay cut he'd earn nothing?? So a 300% pay cut means he pays us $2,000,000 a year?

Think you're right

I meant playing for around $300k, so approx. 1/3rd of his contracted $1m salary for next year. All a moot point if he is not prepared to buy into our club and our culture, which is of far more importance.

Nah, I prefer him paying us $2,000,000 a year to get that premiership he desperately wants. I think he'll retire after Evans & Cochrane block him on his contract.

GAJ taking a 300% pay cut is about as likely to happen as him coming to play for us is anyway so it's not a bad figure.
