Do you have any links to that? Because I find that to be extraordinary. He came here after a pay packet and can't imagine why he would have a trigger that said if he is playing football good enough for 15 games in his last year we get him for 1/2 the next year.
From Jake Niall, Fox Sports, 27 March 2017:
While Thomas has a trigger — believed to be 15 games — that would guarantee him a substantial contract, about half of this year’s $700,000-plus, his management has spoken to the Blues about a possible deal that can avert a weekly discussion about his place in the side.
Perhaps Daisy isn't as mercenary as folk think. Still, $350,000 odd isn't a bad pay packet for a bloke who is likely to be a depth player.
