Vincent Hogan compares the contract negotiations of Jonny Sexton with those of James Hook, who will join Perpignan next season, in The Irish Independent.
"Jonny Sexton will have been hungry yesterday for the finer detail of James Hook's impending move to France.
"The Wales utility player announced that he will play his rugby with Perpignan for the next three seasons. Sky Sports reported that Hook's salary would be worth "nearly £500,000 per season"; an extraordinary sum, yet not an entirely unbelievable one, given the spending history of some of the plutocrat owners in the Top 14 (French Championship).
"Hook was born exactly two weeks before Sexton in 1985 and would probably be seen as having a roughly similar market value. Both are current internationals, albeit Hook's versatility has enabled him to play for Wales at full-back and centre as well as his preferred fly-half position."
