Re: Player Contract Status
I'm okay with the extensions but could we have held back for 6 months with Bramble?
He exceeded most of our expectations during the season and provided a lot of run and carry from the back line but he was already signed until the end of 25.
I guess it is only a 1 year extension and should keep everyone motivated.

Agree we should have waited on Bramble.
I wonder if he offers some tangible off field that we do not see?

I can't get over how well he slotted in particularly over the 2nd half of the season.
A very shaky start but once he found his rhythm he provided a lot for us.
It's probably not a bad contract extension at all.

I think it's just reward. You need to provide carrots.

I don’t understand the reasoning to wait. He exceeded expectations and has performed well. Reward him for effort and provide him with a level of security. It is also means we don’t need the distraction leading into and during the season. We have some key players off contract. That is where our focus should be plus looking at acquiring talented players from other teams.

Re: Player Contract Status
When was the last time a player signed two contracts in one year?
Bramble singed in June and again in November.
Must be something to do with a contract insensitive when he first came across?

I think Naughton did it early on. Twice within 12 months, but don’t think it was the same calendar year.
