Saints seem to have a fair bit of coin coming off the books soon. He'll probably push for five years and settle on four to stay a saint (on healthy dollars).

Hopefully, but think the Saints can offer him enough to make him stay.
Yeah he’ll be a big priority signing. Especially with Ryder likely to be in his final season.

One thing that may give other clubs a chance tho is if they’re getting him to play ruck full time and we go after a no.1 ruck from another club and it seems clear that we intend to keep him playing more forward/ruck.

His best season was definitely the one where he played no.1 ruck and came 2nd in the B&F. At 23yo. Had hardly played or trained in the ruck in his two seasons prior to that one, because we had Hickey, Longer, Holmes and Pierce on the list.

From what I have seen he plays significantly better as the main ruck. But he is effective at ruck forward and it is a very hard position to play. if you can get 10 HO and a goal a game from a ruck forward they would be one of the best going around.
