1 year deals? Are we giving players 1 year deals to cover ourselves incase we are relegated? Not very optimistic are we? or are we ressigned to not been in Super League in 2015?

Boring.
Perhaps if the player is crap we could him go after a year rather than pay them for the next few years, a la Vince Mellors.

I see this as a positve, if they go well they can be offered longer deals.

We've done this to death on the "why 3 years" thread

Each case is different.
It looks to me like Anderson wants to have a good quick season to get himself known again and then move on. That works for us right now.
We don't waste costs and we get a chance to impress him with Wakefield if we like him.

If we get a "Why 2 year contracts" thread can someone just copy my post over to that one to save time

Trinity have been burnt with 3 year contracts, I would suggest most of the signings so far are gambles therefore warrant only 1 deals. Wildie being the exception.

I suggest it's to do with his injury record.

One things for sure we are not in a position to sign certainties anyway so I see no need to find ulterior motives when there are far more obvious ones.

See the outrage of Vince Mellers getting 3 years for your answer

John Molloy got an 18 month deal, you weren't happy with that either!

Dont get him started
1 year deal is fine for me, he does not know if we will still be top flight next year and likewise we don't know if he is going to stay fit and actually be worth a longer deal - lets wait and see and good luck to him.

Yeah I agree. Aslong as there are no other reasons.Mellars looked very good for Crusaders I could understand 3 years.He turned out terrible. 1 year deal is very good if they are crap. 1 year is bad if they are very good as they can demand very good money.Gamble lol

one year deals are nothing to do with relegation threats, contract deals would be null and void anyway if it's written in that the club wasn't in super league

I think one year deals are perfect for this season. Any player on one should be giving their all, if not for the club then at least for their own future.

And talking about Vince Mellars I can think of another couple of players who should have been shown the door last season were it not for the stupid 3 year contracts they are on.

My thoughts exactly.

Players will need to shine in this 1 year to either a. Get an extension for 2015 or b. Put themselves in the shop window to impress another club for a new contract with them.

we signed J0rdan Tansey on a one year deal to play for his future, and he did really well - signed a new contract mid-way through the season.

Vince Mellars should be 2 words which make you cringe at the thought of three year deals

Nothing to see here.

Trinity have at the moment to plan for the short term, 6/7 months time the muddy water will be much clearer. I think it is the perfect scinario unless a real proven quality player was available to go with 1 year.

Next season is about not finishing in the bottom 2. Players need to be at their best as often as possible and playing for your future, either with Trinity or elsewhere benefits the club massively even if it is a shirt term tactic.
