Well, as I understand it, we legally can’t move anywhere else until he accepts or declines it, or we cancel it. He could keep us on tender hooks for weeks thinking he’s coming, while miss other opportunities.
I think a deadline is appropriate and generally inserted in all contracts.
He must know, if he wants in or not, by now.
Maybe he has to wait to Nov 1, then he should advise us on that date what he’s doing or we walk.
E.G. What would happen if we resigned Teddy (big dollars) then the next day JAC says OK I will accept your offer and we had did nothing about it?
People are talking about giving him a deadline that is before he can actually sign for us without a release, that is madness. Just because you have an offer in for someone doesn't mean you stop negotiating with others. If talks are progressing well with another player and you decide to go in a different direction that is when you withdraw JAC's offer.
if he doesn’t sign on for 2022 come November 1 as he has supposedly agreed to terms previously then I’m pretty sure the club will know where they stand
I think they have a pretty good idea already.
Agree... Do you think we increase our offer by 50-100k to make it happen? If you asked me that question 4 months ago I would of said NO way. However after the way he has beefed up and seems to be getting involved more for the storm I really do think he will become a great FB once he settles in. If he is successful at FB he will be getting the higher money anyway but because we are not the most attractive club maybe we need to add the extra money now or remove the clauses regarding games played there as advised.
I'd offer him a bit more but we also have to be careful that we don't end up in a situation where he comes but has one eye looking elsewhere waiting for an opportunity to arise where a position comes available elsewhere. What would be worse than missing him would be to get him and then have him leave when a position at the club he wants to be at becomes available.
I believe we have offered a 3 or 4 year deal so should give us plenty of time wrap him up in our web :grinning: :grinning:
Not if he pulls a Matterson. Which is unlikely but he is already leaving one contract early.
As much as he is a bit immature at times I don't see him doing a Matterson. If he was like that he would of done that last off-season when he wanted back to Sydney.
