Given Smith's announced re-signing and the rumours of Brown's extension I had a feeling we might be about to see a string of one a day retention announcements. Alvaro tomorrow? King? Either way, you know I'll be the last merkin to find out about it.

Nathan Brown from Chinatown:

2018
Utility: Gutherson, Hayne (30), Salmon, Smith, Takairangi
Fullback: French
W/C: Aukafolau (21), Auva'a (26), Davis (23), Hoffman, G.Jennings (25), M.Jennings, Leleisiuao (21)
Half: Moses, Norman
Hooker: King (27), Mahoney (20), K. Pritchard (24)
Edge forward: Edwards, Gower (33), Ma'u, Moeroa, Niukore (22), Scott (34), Stone (21), Williams (30)
Tight forward: Alvaro (25), Brown, Evans, Mannah, Matagi (30), Terepo (27), Vave (29)

2019
Utility: Gutherson (25), Salmon, Smith, Takairangi (30)
Fullback: French (23)
W/C: Hoffman (31), M.Jennings (31)
Half: Moses (25), Norman (28)
Hooker: -
Edge forward: Edwards (30), Ma'u (31), Moeroa (24)
Tight forward: Brown, Evans, Mannah (31)

2020
Utility: Salmon (21), Smith (28)
Fullback: -

2021

So we (officially) have at least 15 merkins in next year's squad. But only four players for 2020 FFS! And it's looking like we will have to forfeit every game in 2021.

It’s very exciting.

FFS End of 2020 or 2021 ?

2021 is an option. Doesn't say whether it's a club or player option. If it's both then it's not any different from being uncontracted (or off contract in 2020).

You may need to bring in a system to track options as well. Colour coding perhaps? Blue for player option year, gold for club option year?

FFS why do I need to tell how to do your f**king job

So he's off contract in Nov 2019...? FFS!

 

[84 Baby]

So he's off contract in Nov 2019...? FFS!

f**k so we've really only signed him for another year?
@Jake the snake was f**king way off the mark

 

[Poupou Escobar]

So he's off contract in Nov 2019...? FFS!

Just like how the financial year starts in July, the contract year starts in the previous November. It's not rocket surgery FFS!
