Mate i totally understand where the opposite view to what I am saying makes equal sense
normally we stagger and step contracts each year in alignment to a player evolving
thats not what we are dealing with here though at the Dragons.........we are in a different cycle in 2023 / 2024 and then 2025
2023 and 2024 have been rare opportunities for our club to pay forward contracts as we havent had stacks of talent
Flano has straight out said we have a big pool of opportunity for 2025 and we have financially been gearing up for it.
So yes.........pre pay any player in 2023 and 2024 that agrees to it. I would expect a fair few did agree to it because it is in the absolute best interest for our team to build with new talent and a chance to play top8 minimum
The opposite would be very selfish by players not to take some more of their contract earlier in 2023 and 2024.
Flano would have been all over it in the day 1 June 13 2023.............all over it like a bulldog eating custard
