I’m sure this has been said before, but Jack Attard was not only signed because he’s an excellent prospect (Australian Schoolboy), but also because the writing was on the wall with Jahream, his manager, and the overpriced $900k contract.
I would sign Connor Tracey for a couple of years while Jack progresses if negotiations go south.
Who knows, I could be wrong, and Shaun might get the deal done that Richo couldn’t, but at $900k his stats don’t warrant the pay check.
Reece is on $1M and is the same age, but they’re light years apart in terms of skill and x factor.
I laugh too whenever we make a statement to the media about player retention. It generally blows up in our face.
