Maybe I'm a bit conservative on the $60K and Zed's $100K is closer to the mark given the amount Nedlands also pays the Force guys to be loyal to them.
Oops, forgot, they are all Neddies homegrown lads who just want to put something back into the community, help with the juniors, sell hot dogs on game days etc!
Clubs like Rocky just can't match the recruitment budget and thats why they are at the other end of the table.
