It's a Hack article, I'm not going to get too excited just yet!

Thats promising and any news is great news. Well maybe he was also thinking that if he heads back to WA there wont be much of a rucking role as Freo and WCE have plenty of rucking stocks?

Plus if he moved back WA he'd have to get a styled mullet with blonde tips and goto gigs with 80's cover bands just to fit in.

Timewarp man.

It would not surprise me if Leuey is suggesting to the club – I played 22 games in my first 3 years with only 3 games in 2009 [the best year to date for Mitch Clark] and in 2010 you still had the faith in me to play me in the ruck for all 22 games.

Might be my turn to repay the faith by signing for...


Who knows? But I have a nice warm fuzzy feeling it sounds like he is staying.

The 1.2Mil over 3 years sounds about right i think. It's about 400k a year which sounds right for a player like him. Not superstar money, but it's decent and it reflects his importance for the team. He is 23 iirc, so this contract takes him to 26 when he should be in his prime, so his next contract could be a little bigger if he comes on like we hope.
