So Nicho being liked is a negative?

I simply mentioned that he's possibly more popular than ET and suddenly I'm plotting a gonadless squad of nice guys.
Hahaha. Not at all mate, I love Nicho. Just got me thinking about the rest of our squad

I don't want 'bad guys' who ****up off field or even on it necessarily/preferably. But like JWH comes to mind, hated by opposition but great clubman & not a porkchop off field.
Yeah someone like JWH but without the sin bins. It’s a tough juggling act

Hynesy I am so proud of him, he fully deserves it, A lot of people have said it numerous times as have I yesterday but I'm not fussed, I just listened to the official announcement again, still made me so proud of him. Readng a lot of comments, awesome how many non Cronulla fans are so happy for him too!

Not many of them around though that can balance discipline and insanity. Its a rarity in this day and age. I’d rather have what we have now then take a risk on someone who’s short odds to get binned most weeks just because they’re “mean”.

Is it too early to offer this guy an extension?
I don't think so. I wouldn't necessarily be upgrading him this year, but I think we will need to upgrade him for next year. He will likely want the details of the new cap to shake out first so I can't see him signing anything, but starting the conversation definitely doesn't hurt.

An upgrade and extension for 2024 onwards is probably what'll happen... the sooner it gets locked in the better (but I can't see it happening before mid next year).

Little bit. If things keep truckin' though you tie him up before anyone can start even speculating a departure.

I think he's committed though & buys into Fitz's journey. As long as he's not being underpaid I don't see him entertaining a move.

the only concern i have is that douehi from wests wants 900k and moses is going to get paid a mil

he deserves it, as does moses, but stupid contracts to **** players like hunt, taylor, douehi ect may kill us if he has another stellar year

This was my thinking. Apparently Eels have offered Moses $1M, and the Dogs and Tigers have offered $1.2M.

With the cap going up I'd be offering Nicho a four year extension at $1M/year. Happy to upgrade his next two years to $750-800k too.

Yeah I know the cap's going up but I wouldn't be ready to offer him a mill yet, see how he goes for a bit next year.
