Dolphins to Offer Farnworth Over $1 Million Per Season
The Dolphins are poised to present Herbie Farnworth with a lucrative contract exceeding a million dollars annually, aiming to secure his services before he reaches free agency.
Farnworth, a standout English centre, has established himself as one of the league's finest through his remarkable performances this season, with his contract set to expire at the end of 2026.
According to NRL regulations, Farnworth will be eligible to negotiate with other teams starting November 1.
Among potential suitors is the Perth Bears, who will have a full salary cap and an empty roster available.
While Farnworth has shown little interest in joining Perth, he has acknowledged the possibility of entering free agency to evaluate other offers.
Although he prefers to stay in Redcliffe, the Dolphins' prospective offer could significantly influence his decision.
Reports from News Corp suggest the club plans to craft a new long-term deal that would make Farnworth the first centre in the game's history to earn over a million dollars per season.
