I agree, you're not winning premierships paying that money for 1 player. Your only hope is to think the salary cap is going to go up exponentially whilst he's there.

One premiership says it all!!
Money vs premiership success. I know what I'd be looking for ($$$$). Your body could be wrecked after 10 years or so of footy, so why not cash in?
$1m a season is still pretty good coin though and it’s what’s reported we’ve offered him(who really knows though)
He’s got zero chance of success at the Saints though
I spoke with a player manager a few years ago, this was the advice he said he gave to his clients.
An offer from another team in the same state - want to be at least 30% better off than what you'd get if you stayed. From an interstate club, at least 40%. And not to forget, you'll lose at least 40% of the extra money in tax. Not to mention you'd already be settled in your current team, there's no guarantees of that happening at the next club.

And If I were Marshall I'd be seeking the exit door if I were him. You'd expect TDK to play 1st ruck and Marshall would become a second string ruckman which I'm sure he wouldn't be happy about. Maybe a swap?

Really? I would take King over him any day (as a forward).
Plenty of room for 2 key forwards
Though I do wonder why the Saints would throw stupid amounts of coin considering they have Marshall who is a very good ruck
There are no stupid questions, just stupid people.
