I'd like to see Rowdy finish his career here tbh, he's been playing decent enough in the back row as well

Absolute legend of the club.
250k should be good enough to keep him I'd say. Maybe 300k if we can get rid of some dead wood.

He does look hurt and tired. I always laugh when guys that have been on multiple hundreds of thousands of dollars for years on end bring out the old chestnut "I have a young family to look after." As if they're on struggle street. Even with his extensive experience, i don't think he'll add any more than an alternative youngster would from now on. But good luck to him.

Yes it does but you need a mix of experience as well. I’d keep Lawrence in a heartbeat

We should keep him. He can still play at a high level. We also have a cap to manage and we should only offer him a reasonable contract for an aging player who may end up busted.
Handy depth player to have in the 30 for when injuries hit if he's not in Madge's plans for the first 17.

That is not actually what he said he though, he was talking about his family and the fact his business is more important to them moving forward then going overseas and playing!

2 year deal would be perfect for him and club.
I think the long service is worth 200k per year an I can see his value being just above that.
The only other issue is we may need that spot in the 30 to sign someone else more high profile.
I read we only have 3-4 spots left open at moment.

I'm all for keeping him, surely he doesn't break the bank with the long term concessions and is a great backup and bench player for the next year or two.
I wouldn't underestimate his impact on our culture and team morale. It says a lot about a club on the way they treat their longer term players
I sort of feel we got it wrong previously with Heighno, Beau, Bryce Gibbs and even Benji and Robbie first time around. Hopefully we've learned our lesson

Let’s see how he finishes the season.
I really like him but he is a risk and any extension beyond 2020 season based on the said cap discount allowance .... would be a definite no from me anyway.

Think the No's are a bit harsh - besides his current playing ability and off field contribution - he took a pay cut for us when we were in deep s... Time now to show a return contribution.
A year by year proposition, percentage of long term player allowance will help and I wouldn't think he is after a massive amount. Ball park for me would be 200-250k.
Don't think you would snavel anyone better for the same amount.

I want Chris to re-sign, one of my all time favourite players who I admire massively. I just want to again point out that we do not need to re-sign Chris to receive the Long Serving player Allowance as we have a number of players who qualify for it!

There's a circular argument regarding his pay cut I suppose in that he really wasn't worth what he was getting in many supporters eyes. I think everyone likes the guy, but is it beneficial to have him included in the squad? Plenty of opinions either way. My firm belief is that pretty much every player will milk their career for all they possibly can until they're kind of shoved aside. I'd rather see him think of the team re-building - lol, there's that word again, and move aside to really cram the joint with new blood, new energy and a new life. If ever there was a guy that should be considered tiger through and through it's him. At 29, in my opinion, he should move on. Thanks but no thanks.
