The off contract thread 2023

[Gronk]

So clubs could be negotiating with Moses now for 2022. I wonder what date Mitch has to take up the option.

FYI Nrown exercised his option on 13 May, 2020 for 21.

That is an interesting list...
Apart from Nrown, the rest of the players without a player option for 2022 are effectively playing in 2021 for a possible contract extension and most of these are new to the club or untried youngsters.
Fergo is not included in this as he has already been advised of our plans and I think Sivo needs a year more like 2019 than 2020 in order to get an extension. Mennings, yeah well he won't play again so discount him totally.

I like the way the club has managed the roster if this is how it looks. Only 5 guaranteed 2021 top 17 players off contract at the same time.

 

[Avenger]

I expect some big signings for 2022.

I think it’s close and does take time to correct but I’d be trying to avoid having similar players off contract at the same time. So Fergo, Sivo, Dunster, Jenko and Opacic, and Nrown/Matto, even Hollis/Hughes, while it may give you options when they aren’t playing well, it can create cap pressure when they are playing well. Plus I think it’s entirely plausible we could have an entire new three quarter line in 2022. That’d be a lot of new blood all at once

How’s Rankin’s form been in the Superleague? Does anyone think he’ll get a run at some stage?

There are definitely some internal youngsters that will be pushing for a spot in the 3/4 line come 2022. Penisini comes to mind immediately as one who I wouldn't be surprised if we saw a late 2021 debut.

Players or Coaches?

Players. In BA we trust (apparently).

I just got a Gary answer to a serious question. Serves me right I guess...

You wish Gary answers were as witty as that

You heard it hear first everyone. Emjay has Penisini in 2021

I do. I’ve always looked up to Strider.

 

[Gary Gutful]

Emjay has Penis in 2021

 

[84 Baby]

Now you’re just trying to force it.
Forget it, Gary, it’s Stridertown

 

[strider]

I do. I’ve always looked up to Strider.

Well i am 6'3"

Aren't you also fat and Italian? I picture you like James Gandolfini.
