[c-b-b]

I know we can't let go of every player off contract but if he's the first choice hooker for the next two years we're doomed.

 

[Arazern]

Pretty much looks like no Smith than, I like this for depth regardless.

 

[wendog33]

Club has surrendered.

 

[Dingo]

Deserves it. Tells me we are still way off B Smith.

 

[Spoonman84]

Not really a surprise given the options out there but it is disappointing thinking about going into another season as JMK being the starting hooker.

I'm not sure why the need for a 2 year deal and 1 year deal would have been fine.

 

[dogwhisperer]

Nothing wrong with that. Even when we do buy the hooker we need, then we still need a second hooker to pay second fiddle.
Always need a back up hooker, he can play as the starting nine until we land the gun we need, whether it's B.Smith or whoever.

 

[Donkey Slayer]

Fucking joke 2 years fuck jmk you shitcunt

Does nothing

 

[GA45]

Good depth signing.

 

[CrittaMagic69]

Haha

Honestly, I think I’m the limited games he’s played, he’s been very good. He is a good hooker to play for us if we can’t get Brandon next year. Definitely doesn’t rule him out.

Whats the definition of insanity?
Doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result.

suppose it all depends on how much we got him for

Correct, re-signing JMK doesn't rule out that we might still be chasing B.Smith

 

[Flanagun]

Good move by the club. You all need to get over this Smith infatuation. He's not keen on coming and he's not as good as many of you seem to think anyway. Give JMK three years at Melbourne and he'd be a better hooker than Smith.

 

[bricktamland]

Good he improves every game . Haters gonna hate but he tries his best .

 

[B-Train]

Since they haven't signed anyone else, it was always likely he'd be re-signed with no other hookers in the squad next season.

Hopefully he's on very little money and someone else is found somehow before next season as he's not a First Grade hooker and we've been starting him for way too long now.

 

[TABOO]

Just FYI, resigning Jmk doesn't mean we stop looking for a top rate hooker. You need at least 2 in your top 30 and he isn't costing much. Calm down.

Unfortunately two years is the minimum most contracts are these days. Players/agents won't accept less. Three year deals are too common and one year deals are generally only for the older players. Hopefully he's on fuck all money because he's a backup/utility at best.

 

[Cappuccino]

Why not a 1 yr deal

Hopefully its like Meaney were we significantly reduced what hes on.
