Yep, earmarked to follow Locky. But he needs to keep his concentration for the full 80 mins though. It worries me that he sometimes fades away for a period in the U20's...

Teo signing is even better new than hoffman!

 

[Mister Wright]

Why are we signing them all to two year contracts? That will just mean in two years time we have to sign them all again. Would make more sense to sign some to two and some to three, especially Te'o who's going guns! Might be a stupid question, as I don't know all the ins-and-outs of player management.

Henjak is signed until end of 2012, plus a much larger salary cap should be in place for 2013 season as well.

^^^ This.

Players won't sign past 2012 unless they have some clause which stipulates they will get a pay rise in accordance with any cap rises.

Because the TV rights real should be in by then so the Salary cap will be much higher (HOPEFULLY). Thats why none of the players probally want to sign any longer then 2 years.

Yes, someone else already pointed that out later in the thread. Just a tip, sometimes a good idea to skim the rest of a thread before replying to a specific point. Often has been picked up already.

On the subject though, it is a bit ironic that Bruno is signing them all to the same length contract. When he took over from Shane Edwards he was "in disbelief" (his words) that all the contract end dates at that time had lined up so it became so hard to retain players....

 

[tkday]

Looks like he will be in disbelief again when 2012 comes around :)

doubt he will be in charge then ... maybe he wants to do the same thing to the incoming CEO that was done to him [icon_razz1

 

[tkday]

If he's not around in 2012 I say we let Locky manage :P

 

[Kimlo]

I say we get Chuck Norris to manage, he'll round house kick them into submission, we'll have no problems signing everyone up :P

 

[Mister Wright]

Haha. Didn't even occur to me that the new deal was coming in 2013, I guess that's as good a reason as any.

So, what's the go with FB's status?

He'll find it hard to coach the Broncos when he's living in Mackay.

Lockyer's Mrs is from Mackay so to state the obvious...thats probably what it's about [icon_lol1. Who knows what will happen in the future though.

 

[nopatience101]

Word has it Winterstein has signed with the Cowboys. no link.

 

[ningnangnong]

Aw man, that sucks.
