Re: Johnno Pens new deal

Why couldn't we get 3, any ideas?
Ankles? Maybe the club wants to be able to evaluate the state of them after another 2 years.

Plus contracts need to be done soon. a year isn't much difference and could have stopped an extra day or two of negotiations

fair enough, I guess we need to fit everyone in.

I'm guessing he would have asked for 3 but the Cats would have wanted to keep him on a bit shorter leash to make sure his resurrection isn't short lived.

Plus there are a bunch of guys who in two years time will be challenging for his spot in the list. Can't see them getting close on his form and ability but who knows, two years is a long time form wise (ask Barry Hall).

Most of our contacts are for 2 years. It's only really the marqee players such as Scarlett & Gaz that have been tied up to longer contracts over the past few years. Cookie said a few years ago that we'll have virtually half our list out of contract every year but in doing so you don't get hurt with deals like Nick Holland, David Burke, Mark Mercuri, Jade Rawlings ect.

Interseting timing. Did they deliberately wait until after the Grand Final just so they he would be on the booze when he had to consider the offer?
