Delaney has possibly sacrificed some money for security. 2 more years at £100k, versus 5 more years at £75k.

Good news. Delaney has been a stand out performer since his move to the pack. His regular high tackle count, big metres and carries makes him the best bet to replace JP up front when the time comes.

Great player and fair play to him getting this deal.

He's a bit weird though.

Delaney is everything you want in a forward. Runs hard and often. He's the anti kirke.

As for backing off players because of injuries, I'm glad Gotcha wasn't negotaiting a deal with Watkins, what with his injury record.

Good player,someone we will need to carry us forward when jp and kylie move on.

Regards his injuries,i dont recall him having too many whilst at the club and its on recently he has started breaking down a bit.alot of that is due to him playing whilst not being fully fit of late.

Interesting. You go searching through 4 pages just to find a post of mine. Well it's not really.... predictable yes.

Why derail a thread about a 28 year old forward and try to compare to a 19 year old back? seems strange... although again predictable.

That actually made me lol.

So, responding to your comments is derailing the thread now is it? That's a new approach to fog knitting.

You made a point linking his injuries to his new contract. I countered the point. You have now derailed the thread by commenting not on the substance of my post but your strange ideas about why I posted it.

For the avoidance of doubt, it was a thread I posted on before you, a thread I was following, your comment was on the previous page and took no trawling to find and it was a comment I disagreed with and said so.

Don't flatter yourself, if I wanted to search out gibberish then, yes, I'd come looking for you, but I was just making a point relating to rugby.

You brought injuries in to it. G1 mentioned another player to suffer injuries. Seems legit to me.

Yes they say opposites attract,but his best mate is Bailey and he is not exactly a conformist either

You countered no point. You don't even understand a point. You continued your childish petty gibberish.

For the avoidance of doubt, I commented that it was a strange decision to give a five year contract to a 28 year old forward, when he already had two years to run on his contract, and was spending a lot of time in the treatment room.

If you think countering that is trying to compare a 19 year old back then you need to get back to school.

Ward for me or even Sutcliffe could be a future captain.
To be fair IF we had retained Baldwinson and he'd lived up to his huge potential he'd have taken the reigns imo.
Interestingly IF its true about Sunley leaving i still think he'll make a decent Captain one day for whoever he ends up playing for.

Kylie and JP are proving that 35 is the new 30.I think Delaney's agent will have been weii involved in these negotiations here using the OZ interest to make Gary offer 5 years

Delaney certainly commands respect with his work ethic that all others should followled[/i their men into battle.

Ablett is not captain material IMO.
