Everyone is different. Would you leave your current job if another offered you double? JT held loyalty above money.
**** loyalty. Loyalty will not buy my house for me, money will. And yes, $500k is not a mortifying prospect. But losing $300k because loyalty... that's mortifying.
You can't tell me you would do any differently.
Nearly half of that 300k actually 275k will go in tax so it is now maybe 275k x whatever the top Kiwi tax rate is which is about 155k after tax assuming at rate of 40%, unless his manager sets up dodgy tax structures for him.
Sure quick cash grab is great but don't think for a moment Uncle Nick wouldn't have looked after him, even if he had the misfortune to suffer a career ending injury, he would have been set up for life.
I honestly hope we don't try to entice him back by round 13. He has made his decision and if he stayes for more if we come up with a bigger counter offer and he accepts.Then we will pay for it in long run by tying up too much salary of our cap plus a few others would have their noses out of joint for taking unders. It could turn into another DCE type of situation.
BTW when I was young, I was offered double my salary in 2000 to leave my employer and I had a young family at the time. I chose to stay and was rewarded a few years later..

JT did not hold loyalty above money. He took a kings ransom and will never win a premiership as the main guy as a result of hogging so much of the cap.
He was talking about Jason Taumalolo not Thurston...
