Some eyebrows would have been raised, though The Daily telegraphs On the list of highest-paid players, Luke Keary ranked 51st with a salary package of $ 700,000 a season.
70 percent of the readers rated it as a bargain for the back-to-back premieres.
Keary was voted best five-eighth player by his peers in the latest player poll and could easily be the NRL’s youngest million dollar earner if his on-field performance matters.

Why Titans Chased Fifita Hard
3:19
David Fifita was the last to join the club after signing a three-year, $ 3.5 million contract with the titans.
The Roosters five-eighth was expected to earn a top dollar at the end of the season.
While he is supposed to receive a raise, the Sydney Morning Herald reports that Keary is content with a $ 2.8 million three-year extension, although he can earn a lot more at another club.

The reported deal would result in him pocketing around $ 930,000 annually, which is still less than that of malicious playmakers like Kieran Foran, Ash Taylor, Ben Hunt, and Anthony Milford.
Keary already has 12 assists and seven linebreak assists this season and has stepped up to take on the team’s attack without Cooper Cronk.
He has had 60 trial assistants since 2018 and is still the only player to reach 50 or more in that period. This is proof of his consistently high performance on the field.

The 28-year-old is seen as a massive part of Trent Robinson’s team that continues to evolve without Cronk as his successor Kyle Flanagan makes his way into consistent first class easier.
The Herald also reports that full-back James Tedesco will also sign an extension in a few months.
Securing the couple’s signatures will be a big coup for the Roosters, who show no signs of slowing as they strive for a third consecutive Premier Championship under Robinson’s coaching.
