One thing is for sure…no player has any loyalty these days and clubs are pretty much the same.
And contracts mean nothing, if a player wants out tomorrow....the clubs always let them go, example - Blake Austin, Taupau etc etc etc. Its actually in the clubs favor to have shorter contracts these days because if you have to get rid of a player who still has 2-3 years to run it becomes a financial disaster for the club....example - Farah, Moltzen, etc etc etc.
It would be great for the club if guys like Teddy, Moses & Brooks become world beaters and want to stay at the Tigers...... that would be great, but who knows what will happen.
The good thing though as we have seen this year......new talent is always coming through ie Cleary, Ash Taylor TM Martin etc etc so if we do lose one of our stars in the years to come we should have the money to go out and buy a player of high quality as well.
And if one of our guys falls of the edge of a cliff form wise....we should have the opportunity to buy a quality player to replace him with.
As long as the Admin is sensible in respect to player retention and acquisition we should be in a position to compete with other clubs.

Even if we do have the funds, are players actually going to want to come here?
Etc etc
