Losalu Gets FT Deal

[ism22]

Good news for Taylor upgraded from $20k to $120K on a FT deal. Money well spent imo


CONCRETE OFFER

Roosters forward Taylor Losalu has done his last shift as a concreter. The 22-year-old is the rookie prop who helped the Chooks beat the Penrith Panthers in Round 2 on a Friday night then went to work at 7am on the Saturday morning to build a driveway. The Roosters have now upgraded the youngster from a $20,000 contract to an extended full-time deal worth about $120,000.

Great to be adding to our forward pack with another promising young bloke and not an overpriced import.

Damn that's still not much for a top 30 spot though ay? Like I'm happy for him and all but IMO it puts it all in context how hard a lot of fringe players must be doing. I'd assumed minimum wage was at least ~$200k.

Like imagine you're on $120k with a family in western Sydney, commuting to the SFS every day and cop a $2000 fine. Be a pretty rough month ahead IMO!

120k at 22 years old is really good, most 22 year olds still living at home or have roommates and are working some shit job that they hate to get through Uni for nothing close to 120k a year, Losalu gets to live his dream and make a liveable wage whilst doing so.

Hope now he has an upgraded contract he plays in the #17 more often, will be a great option off the bench with Leniu for 20-30mins especially with no Collins there

HDTONE started this thread in recognition of Losalu being rewarded for all his hard work. Would it be too much to ask that we keep the sledging and personal battles out of this thread? You're cooperation would be greatly appreciated. Thanks..
