Well you have made some assumptions about what happened at negotiations. It appears that you think that WE offer PO or MO as some sort of a carrot and that it's not generally instigated by player managers. OR a club accepting options in their contract terms is a sign of weakness.
There are some very good players in the NRL with POs in their contracts. Harry Grant and Brandon Smith for example.
AJ Brimson is set to be a Titan for life after inking a monster contract extension, while Penrith have landed Kiwi test star Isaiah Papali'i for 2025.
