Could mean a tough call next year though if these types come on unexpectedly, should Polson linger.He was odds on to be re-signed, and they've opted for 2 years.
With Lamb, Graham, LeBois, Mullett and Shaw likely gone at the end of the year, and Simpson, Thomas and Murphy no spring chickens, it's the optimal move.
Because of this, I would have opted for just the one year to have a bit more wriggle room, but then I am more bullish on the likes of Lamb.
Three years should probably be the minimum anyway, given you are renegotiating only 12-18 months later in the current environment.
