Based on what I seen, I would extend this bloke by another year.
Fair enough Matt, extend him by 2 years then
we have extended blokes after zero good games before
Nikora will be better than him in the blink of an eye.
I love Sorro though.
He was once my avatar.
Before I needed the settling influence of the guru.
Tim Smith was once someones avatar but all the same a tough decision but one I respect
As for Nikora, different player to Sorro, both can fill a role and do a good job of it, just a matter of squeezing them in
if sorro is keen to keep fighting for his spot then there is no reason why he shouldnt be extended
but i like the fact the number 17 is given to the hungriest person, thats how he got it over billy mag
I have nothing against Boogs, I like his work and he is a club staple but if Sorro keeps up this form I would prefer to extend him over a player like Jason who is at the back end career wise and Sorro has more to prove at this stage. Ideally have both for depths sake but with our salary cap the mess it is...
Doubt there is much contract talk at the moment with anyone given nobody knows what the salary cap will be for next year.
For multi year extensions you have until start November before they can be approached by other clubs, for single year contracts like Sorro I doubt any clubs have poaching him on their priority list at the moment.
From the two games he has given us so far this season (and off the back of a strong Cup finals series) I do hope he can run around again for us next year as a cheapie.
If he keeps this up more clubs will start to take notice and see him as a quality squad filler that won't break the bank. Even commentators have been calling out his strong games. Players are going to get injured, lose fitness, get rusty whatever over this extended break in the season will be interesting to see how they return (not just our club but others) whenever that next game is. Say we extend him, well there isn't much to lose $$$ wise if it doesn't work out and aren't really in a worse place than we are now
Need to keep his motivation up though, which I feel is more driven by making the squad anyway than earning that next payday but his headspace at the moment seems really good
