Wallace has re-signed , but for 2 years not 1.
Why would you sign him for 2 years, where else is he going?
I just wonder who approached whom. Seeing it's the role of a player manager to get the best deal possible for his client, he would be remiss really not to be doing a ring around of those clubs who might use the services he offers. The Dragons and maybe Newcastle look most likely to fill the bill.Saints.
Until the past month they had quietly approached his manager about a possible deal.
It's hard to say he is excellent value of we don't know what the contract is worth but either way I am happy with the extension. I think it also shows that Griffen isn't one to hold a grudge considering he punted Wal from the Broncos but he has obviously moved on from that to offer him an extra couple of years.I haven't been able to find any reports of how much the deal was worth, but I am guessing it would be pretty modest.
Based on current form he is excellent value. Tries his guts out every game, decent kicking from dummy half, plenty of experience, good club man, has shown he has good defence in the middle, etc. I am glad he will get the chance to finish his career with us.

Given the re-signing of Wal I assume we will not bring in another hooker for next season and rely on what we already have including Soni Luke, Katoa, ZDC as backup which I am comfortable with.
Fair enough I suppose. He's shown he still puts all in even with a secure long term contract.
Trent had to get in early and get the extension while he can still claim to be a "origin player" and get rep player moneyTrent Merrin has extended his contract by 2 years
Odd. Merrin was in year 1 of a 3 year deal that expired 2018.
I am happy Merrin extended but I would have thought others coming off contract next year would have come first.
Moylan's off contract next year and the talk of him extending to 2021 has gone quiet.
