Zorko, 37, is off-contract at the end of the season, with Fagan hopeful the club will re-sign him for next year.
“I just get asked the question if I still want him. The answer to that right now would be yes, so hopefully he can (stay with the Lions beyond this season), but there’s a lot of this season to go, and hopefully it does work out that he can keep going,” Fagan said

Probably earned the right to get 1 year contracts until his body breaks down

The chatter is reminding me of when Clug was out of contract in that there were massive offers but you’d hear clearly that he wanted to stay. That’s probably my heart speaking as I desperately want to keep Zac.

My head says that there was nowhere near the gap in valuation for Clug in 2024 as we were happy to make him our highest paid player, which is clearly not the case now.

Some solid posts in this thread but this made me think, Clug yeah comfortable with the possibility of being one of the highest paid players at the club and a co-captain. Don't see Zac becoming our captain and with that thought neither our highest paid player.

Have never met the bloke, but Zac seems comfortable with being one of the boys, without the pressure of being a leader/marquee player. When you look at the after tax pay from what he is offered - as opposed to staying in Brisbane on what we can afford - IMO he will enjoy life a lot more here.

If we've only offered Marshall a 1 year deal, we must have really gone off him for some reason.

Bizarre to me that we would offer a 20 year old high-ish draft pick who's a premiership player just a one year extension. Something very odd going on there.

Maybe we’ve offered a medium term contract that simply isn’t attractive and doesn’t stack up at all, obvious other teams are in a position to offer a premium both in value and years to what we can.

If the one year offer is true, maybe it’s more of an offer of flexibility for him. Allowing him to back himself in to prove his value to us, earn a better contract offer from us, in turn that would also
push rivals offers also.

Odd to have gone off such a young promising player that quick, I’d have the market rather the the player having that affect

There weren't many other options late last year when he was getting a game

Tbh there were next to zero other options. And he was only just doing a bit when he started but in the end started to look like he could be a player.

No real idea what he ends up to be except to say he does have talent and has now had experience in big games.
