They havent just. It has been reported that they met with him earlier in the year as well but that he wanted to test his worth come November 1st.

It says "for at least". Maybe he wants an option for if he plays 3 Origin games or more 🤔 😆
So it sounds like they’ve presented this as a contact of which to balance his value agaisnt in the open market. Great job tigers! 🤦🏻

RP, He still has 1 year with us so all up would be 3
My personal impression was that the guy we signed was underwhelming! Took the outside option too often and was put into touch, a number of poor defensive reads as per Nofo. However he did clean up the other side of the field on two occasions. Rugby will be disappointed in losing the number 8 & 15 but overjoyed in keeping the nine and 10.

Prob just trying to buy some breathing space so they know what the cap will look like in 12 - 18 months then offer a long term deal.
The reason a whole heap of players end up re-signing with their current clubs

Very good point that 90% of the football management experts on here fail to understand.

Heard a lil rumour we'll be getting Simione Laifai in place of Large... basically a swap deal.

Same goes with Galvin. He could sign a 2 year extension and upgraded contract, getting him a few million dollars, or he can stay on a paltry amount for a couple more years.

Hopefully at least a mutual option for a 3rd year

That would be amazing, Sam Fainu 2. Aussie schoolboy prop/back rower. Along with Lemoto, Halangahu and Tonga are 3 of the top forwards in their age group.
Where did you hear this?
But signed an extension with them earlier in the year, development contract next season and NRL in 2026. We don't currently have nay dev spots free, unless we offload someone (which we should be aiming for)

I can see why Miller might be expendable. 🙂
Except we don’t have the Dev spot available that Large would of been occupying; so not exactly a swap deal.
What’s the age of this fella? Any football played with Fainu’s? Connection there?That would be amazing, Sam Fainu 2. Aussie schoolboy prop/back rower. Along with Lemoto, Halangahu and Tonga are 3 of the top forwards in their age group.

Makes sense in a way. Manly are building a premiership window squad and just don’t have the time and space for talent to grow and develop.
Hence resigning Paseka / Ollakoato to large, long deals.
They’re in the now we’re in the future.
Pole is bench impact same as Spencer Leniu

Lobb is a wasted development spot.
