Michael Hooper: Australia's six-million dollar man who's richer than top All BlacksGETTY IMAGES Michael Hooper is expected to sign a new five-year deal with Rugby Australia. Wallabies captain Michael Hooper is expected to announce his decision to stay in Australia on a five-year deal. It is only the second five-year contract in Australian rugby history. Star lock Brodie Retallick and Toulon-bound winger Julian Savea were thought to be earning in excess of NZ$800,000 annually. Hooper's value to the game on and off the field in Australia has always made his retention one of RA's top priorities.
