Big news coming out today

Hardly setting the world alight and came injured, and has been injured since. I find the length of contact astounding.

Good signing.

Been really good in my opinion but it is a long contract

He has been very good for most of the season, think a lot of fans just look at the tries scored column for backs and then just write them off if they’re not scoring loads of tries

Seems odd giving him 4 years when Austin, who has probably been our best player this season so far, reportedly only been offered 1 year.

I think he has been great ,always makes yardage, beats first tackle, happy with length of contract 4 years of prime centre/winger.

Has the potential to be a very good player for us, but at 29 it’s a bit old for potential. Always makes metres and looks dangerous, we need to get the ball to him in space or 1 on 1, he’s a potent weapon but we don’t seem to know quite how to use him. Defensively he’s adequate, but seems to miss a few or get bumped off a bit too easily, but that’s fixable with some specialist coaching.

Overall good that he’s staying, but 4 years at 29 feels like 1 too long.

Yeh, 4 years sets a precedent on contract length.
Others will cite McDonald's deal in their own contract negotiations.
He's obviously athletic and expect he will stay pretty fit and very happy he's staying given he's been very good recently.
But does feel like a year too much.

2 years with an option both ways for a 3rd year.
Albeit a decent player 4 years at his age is ridiculous.
We will be giving Lisone 4 years next

Agree
Even though he is a decent player he's hardly a Keith Senior or Newman.
Can only assume we have got him on a reasonable deal.

Did you mean to put Newlove there?

I wouldnt say that Newman is that much better than MacDonald, has potential for sure but a lot to prove.
