I don't know if this is a planned retention/recruitment move by the broncos but has anyone noticed that there will be numerous players that play the same position off contract each year. For example, this year it seemed to be prop and halves: prop being ofa, McGuire (before he became a lock), ese and fai. Halves it was hunt, Milford, Marshall and Scarlett. Next year wing seems to be prominent: Oates, mead, Pearson and isaako (kind of). If is a new tactic it is a very smart one. It gives us leverage with players big time and allows us to weigh up the cost of a player leaving both immediately and in the long term. Also may explain some longer/shorter term deals (Oates for 1 year? Macca for 4 (no hooker depth)?)...
