Jack Todd and Jack Underhill contract extensions

They’ve obviously had big pre seasons and looking good. Gus rewarded Sam Hughes last year for impressing in the pre season and he had a break out season

Underhill is a goer and defensively outstanding. Needs to be mote effective in attack. That's his only weakness at this stage.

Fair enough.
But at his age the offensive side of a prop is a continuous work in progress.
As long as he improves his attack with game experience in NRL, he will with the grit turn into a top
tier prop
Would love to see him ditch the John Daly hairstyle and shave his head ala the Ogre
 
I think the one year extension for Todd is more of a buying time exercise.

Giving us until November without the vultures coming in for him. Give him this year to show his wears before in a potential upgrade at seasons end.

With King, Hughes there and Thompson coming next year. The likes of Amone, Underhill, Todd and this Xion from the Wahs. All of a sudden we might have surplus of a position we have been light on for years. The retention teams job will be critical this year. Decisions will need to made.

I wouldn't be surprised if it's manager driven. It's ideal for his manager if he has a breakout season before he goes on a long term contract. A bidding war might add a few percent to a managers commission.
