It's only January 5th, but that'll be hard to top as the most ridiculous comment of 2024.
I'm saying that given the young forward stocks that we have at the club and the potential risk of losing a few of them (namely T. May), that some clubs/people would prioritize the future of the club and blooding them into the squad over keeping veterans around. He absolutely should be in their when at his best but he hasn't been at his best for a while and I find it somewhat bittersweet that we will likely lose May on top of already losing Baker as a result of certain decisions. One of those decisions being keeping JWH. Will be awesome to see him get his 300 for us nonetheless.

You said "he's very very lucky" - end of story. That means, you wouldn't have him in your squad. Stand by your comments bro, don't run away from them when challenged.

Not sure where I backtracked bro. Where is the gibberish? I rate Terrell May. Terrell May is younger than JWH. He got a 6 week suspension in the final 5 mins of a game we were winning by 30 points with finals on the horizon.
Why should he get a contract at the risk of losing young props that could be stars for us for many years to come? Because he was awesome for us for 80% of his career but has been peripheral in the last 12 months? In my book, he is very lucky. I'd be ruthless.
Does that mean I'm upset to see him play for us and get his 300 games?. Of course not, bloke is a legend. Plenty of legends don't get fairytale endings.

So you wouldn't have Jared in your squad. You've clarified that yet again. No need for anyone to jump to conclusions, you've made it quite clear. Jared is not in our best 17, according to you.
My concern is that there will come a time that JWH will not be the best option for our 17 and by then it'll be too late because our young props will have left for other opportunities. Not sure how that has been lost in translation.

I get where you're coming from and agree but I don't have the time nor inclination to elaborate.
There's no denying Jazz has been a great Alpha and clubman, much like Aubbo.
Our club rewards loyalty and allowing him to go out on his terms reflects this and reinforces mutual respect (unlike that putrid mob from the dark side of Anzac Pde).

If JWH this year becomes not the best option for our 17 it will have no effect on our young props. The only young prop who may be leaving is Terrell May which has no bearing on JWH playing this year.

I would rather JWH for one last year then keeping Fletcher Baker, JWH was playing good football in 2023 & deserves one last year.

Either way it’s one hell of an achievement from a front rower and no doubt a rarity too. He’s also missed about the equivalent to a season through suspension and a season through injuries and ACL. But that’s probably what’s allowed him to play to this age.
Behind Beetson I doubt we have had a better front rower and definitely not a better clubman.
THREE CHEERS FOR JARRED!!!
