Is that a lot?
It's middle ground, though apparently this makes him our 4th Wallabies topped up hooker (Faessler, Pollard and Lonergan are probably the other 3, BPA is not on a top up). Not sure it's the most efficient use of resources from a Wallabies perspective at this point, Porecki's retirement might have been a good opportunity to redirect more of that money to another position.

It'd be Bell and probably Ala'alatoa as the top 2 tight 5 earners. Possibly Frost, if Allan has dropped back a bit.

My understanding was that Allan was on around 850 to 900k a season, at least for 2024 and 2025. Christy did say that Lukhan was on more than a lot of other Wallaby tight five forwards. Bell and Allan would be the top two I agree. I wonder what Frost is on for the next couple of years? Less than 600k would be underpaid for sure. Canberra news was that Lachie Lonergans top up was very small, it was just a sweetener on the deal to stay at the Brumbies. The highest Super Rugby base deal is about 250k, so all the real money comes from the top ups.
