Updated Player Contracts

[davos]

From what I am aware of:

2016 - Tuivasa-Sheck, Cordner, Jennings
2015 - Maloney, Friend, Hargreaves, Kenny-Dowall, Guerra, Napa
2014 - Moga, Kennedy, Evans, Arona, Symonds, Oldfield, Moa
2013 - Pearce, Aubusson, Minichiello (retiring), Nuuausala, Tasi, Takairangi, Ailaomai, Seluini, Mortimer

Unknown - Cherrington, Henry, Tupou

They're all in the training picks so I reckon all of them are at least signed till 2013. Cherro would probably be on match payments and Henry + Tupou signed at the end of 2011 to join our club on 2 yr deals.

Minimum wage is now $80k.
No such thing as match payments anymore...

huh.
a funny thing happend the other day, i think this is worth a share.
a well respected business man i know on th gold coast whom ive known for a few years and is a fanatic balmain supporter. i caught up with him over the xmas break, and had a half hour or so chat about business etc etc, and at the end of our chat i said i deserve to give you a hug, so i lent forward and hugged the man ,whos about 60 and very staunch and i said sucked in you have braith, sooo very sorry about that.



he laughed and laughed and why the fcuk did we do that , signing him. i said to guarentee you wont win a gf i guess.


so a few weeks later hes at the magic million dinner sitting with some old mate from balmain, snr pearce and bolkka, and he told them the story and he reckons they pissed them selves as well. snr pearce said we bought him to take over benjis role as organizer on the feild (unofficial captain) to easy poor benji pressure.

he also said they tried extremely hard to poach jnr and were un successful and wayne said jnr is here to stay. good news i think if tru

Jnr Jnr has got rocks in his head if he decided to head to the Tigers and reaquaint with Banasta. Mark my words, he will revel in 2013with a genuine five-eight playing outside of him instead of a dead weight who last year should have been playing in the pack ala 2010.

How are the likes of Bosden, Seluini and Ailaomai keepers?

Moa essentially came in from nowhere and earned selection ahead of Ailaomai, and even now, we have Tasi still ready to hit the ground running. Bosden is okay but has yet to show more than Guerra (2015), Aubusson (2016), Cordner (2016) and even FPN and Arona.

The bolded ones are the ones I'd offer a new contract too and SBW and Morts are the only ones I'd go hard for.

Chook.

2014 - Kennedy, Arona, Moga, Oldfield, Moa

Unsure - Henry, Langi, Tago, Wells, Napa (2015 but unconfirmed), Evans (2014 but unconfirmed)

2014 looks like...

1. Tuivasa-Sheck (2016)
2. Oldfield (2014)
3. Kenny-Dowall (2015)
4. Jennings (2016)
5. Tupou (2015) / Moga (2014)
6. Maloney (2015)
7. Pearce (2017)
8. Hargreaves (2015)
9. Friend (2015)
10. Moa (2014)
11. Aubusson (2016)
12. SBW (2013 - looking for extension)
13. Cordner (2016)

14. Mortimer (2015)
15. Guerra (2015)
16. Kennedy (2014)
17. FPN / Tasi / O'Donnell (2013 - re-sign at least one of them)

Would be actively grooming Langi to replace SBW when he inevitably moves on, and have Evans and Napa waiting in the ranks if guys like Moa, FPN, Tasi and Kennedy begin to slack. Arona and Bosden are decent depth, and Wells is a lightning talent too.
