I look at those extensions as more squad fillers than first 17. Always need back up players.

That's what I reckon. I just don't think he would demand big coin anywhere else considering his knee injury and still yet to prove he's a potential marquee player.
It's interesting one re AD, I would be surprised if he left.
You would think if he really wanted to stay though he wouldn't have hesitated to get talks flowing & would've been extended already.
Maybe its already been done we are just picking when to make the announcement, but knowing our place that would've leaked out already.
In saying the above there was something pushed out a while back & POM also commented that AD apparently was the one who said he won't be discussing things until after Nov 1.
Who knows maybe Benji doesn't see him as a 5/8th & that doesn't sit well with AD given the comments on wanting Brooks, Laurie 5/8th rumours & how active we have been chasing a few halves players as well.
Maybe AD is waiting on how the halves pairing will play out.
Maybe we are waiting on Brooks decision to then drive how we would structure a deal for AD
All we know so far in fanland is out of all our spine players off contract end of 23 right now it's been the most quite on AD front which normally isn't a positive thing retention wise

Impossible to tell so far out. Come back halfway through next season and let's see where he's at.
He has been an elite level centre at junior level. Now just needs to carry that on to mens footy. Wouldn't surprise me if he's in FG considerations for 2024 though come this time next year. He could even debut next year if injuries hit.
Brown is busted though & his current deal is massive.
We don't need to sign Brown if Hastings was to leave we could grab someone else.
However if it means we get Moses in 23 and Brown has to come we would be silly not to do it provided we have roster spots to take him on.
I do think Hastings is important though he just offers us options that I just don't see others on the free market can offer us what Hastings can unless one of the kids steps up which is a big if atm.
I would not accept Moses back under any circumstances,that tanking piece of manure should never be allowed to wear our jumper again.He is beneath contempt

Faagutu will be our lock when ready IMO
Some one like that.
Not necessarily Brown.
I want to see Hastings at 13 for a full season.
But yeah, I'm sure he has some thoughts on where he'd like to play.
A lot to unfold.

I’m all for getting Brown. We need some hard heads - imagine Klem and Browny just smacking blokes. Nom nom nom

Faagutu and Matamua are outstanding prospects. We are well served from 2024 for the 13 position.

Please provide data on when Brown has ever smacked anyone?
I feel alot of people assume he is an enforcer but there is no evidence.

Imagine trying to oversee the departure and signing of players, negotiating with player managers, rosters spots and contract $. With this in mind, what is happening is a coordinated effort to get the best available from staff at our club. The club receives a lot of negative press but what is happening now is impressive from my point of view.
