One year playing then a coaching role with our up and coming hookers is what I would offer.

Cameron Smith on a 2 year deal is a steal no matter the cost because of his off field work and the prestige he would bring while also completing our spine.
We can make it happen and if we do we become qlds favourite club I think
I support 2 years
1 year no way
Can we afford him though.. that would be 3 players on a mill each..
Give him proctor James and cartys money and then we should be able to get a couple forward and backs on unders or young players looking to prove themselves who would want to play with cam and fifita for cheap
The Storm at one stage had 3 players on close to million dollars each then just recruited cheap quality players around them.

Arrow - 400k (guess)
Boyd - 600k
Cartwright - 600k
James - 700k
Peats - 600k
Proctor - 550k
Watkins - 400k (guess)
Add in Roberts and Copley who probably aren't on peanuts. Maybe 350-400k each? Hipgrave also off contract and had some interest from the Bulldogs last time he re-signed so wouldn't be on minimum wage. Sam Stone off contract but probably not on much (he was a Garth signing though so on second thought probably on like 800k). Young Onomatopoeia off contract but should be a priority re-signing I reckon.
So all up we have at least 4.2m off contract (or already gone in Boyd and Watkins' case), possibly closer to 4.5m. 1.2m of that has been taken up by Fifita, 700k by Tino, maybe 400k by Ese'ese? That's only 2.3m, so we still have 2m+ to play with. 1m to Smith, 450-500k to re-sign Proctor, 300k to Young, then sign 2-3 up and comers and we're set.
^^^ awesome post and makes sense except for I’d be paying Proctor way less.
The fact he has openly stated he may have to have a look in the SL tells me there aren't many clubs offering significant money so I would be surprised if his stocks are still 500k+. At this point it feels like at best we would be keeping him for experience and leadership which for me looks at most like 400k but I guess we shall see. God the Cam Smith rumours are killing Broncos fans and I for one couldn't be enjoying it more.
