That is about what I was floating a while back. I would be happy with 3 years 2 mill front end loaded.

That is money well spent.

Agreed!

If McMahon is on 300k then 500k for Lids is a bargain.

Definitely agreed, although McMahon's contract is severely out of whack.

So would I. Don't think I'll get it though so I might have to settle for 1 mill.
 
Re: Is anyone else concerned?

No Captaincy yet. If next year he can perform like the latter half of this year without needing an intervention, then he's ready for it.

Lids' laziness this year is a sign that giving him the Captaincy instead of Newman would have been a big mistake.

He'll lead us one day, but lets make sure he's ready for it.

My worry is I can see another brad ottens scenario. He goes to someone like carlton or bulldogs and plays in a premiership cause sure as hell at the moment he won't see finals for at least 3 years with us.

Might turn out to be the Nathan Buckley scenario, you never know.
 
Re: Is anyone else concerned?

Wouldn't pay him more then $300,000 per season. Lazy soft player, anything he has done was win the rising star and it has been all down hill since.
2 first round picks would do that trick. Let him be lazy another club :wave
 
Re: Is anyone else concerned?

It's a hard one.Was threatened recently with being dropped & still has a few areas to improve on.Yet he could just about have a 2nd b & f & is still only 21.Would just about be our best player & should be paid accordingly.If we are offering something decent but talks have broke down,it could be used as an excuse to leave citing money issues.

We're paying him more than that now Numbers.

Strange comments fom you.

He has definitely lifted in terms of his perceived weaknesses.

His tackle count has sky rocketed.

Is that due to him mentally getting better, or is it due to Wallace being gone and he being given the right role?

Brett at this point in time right now is our best player. We need to hang onto him.
 
Re: Is anyone else concerned?

if i could get scully and trengrove for him i would trade him in a heartbeat
 
Re: Is anyone else concerned?

As much as I would hate to lose Lids, if Melb dangled Picks 1 & 2 for Lids, you would have to be very tempted.

I don't think they are that silly though.

Heres hoping that they are, imagine adding Scully Trengove and Butcher with the first 3 picks. ;)

You wouldn't be tempted, you would have to pull the trigger on it.

Any figure in that vicinity is not worthy for Deledio. He can write 'run hard' on his hand but that doesn't justify the extra dollars. He should be writing 'need to pull the finger out'.

Agree GPB
 
Re: Is anyone else concerned?

Time for players to put up and shut up :mad:. Sick and tired all these years of players being paid big dollars on potential or 1 good year of football. Time for blokes to put their hand up and want the RFC jumper, and not the dollars. If Lids wants a huge pay check to inflate his ego than he can nick off. Would rather get 2 1st round draft picks for Lids and begin another rebuild with blokes that truly want it. Hopefully Deledio does the right thing and shows the same faith the RFC has shown him all these years.
 
Re: Is anyone else concerned?

KB and Greg Denham on SEN this morning were both pretty certain that Lids would be signed very soon. Infact it is now the club's next focus to get this deal done quickly.

Might be done quicker than people think.

I think about 550K a year would be reasonable, happy to go to 600 to keep him against market. Anything below or above that is pushing it from either party IMO.

Not concerned as I hadn't expected him to sign yet, my gut feel is he wants to stay and I don't see any real barriers to that as the club wants to keep him. I don't think the money is as big a issue to Lids as it is to some players, he'll get well looked after and I think his career form is more important to him, now he can have a chat to the new coach I'd expect a quick signature in the next fortnight.
 
Re: Is anyone else concerned?

DONE NOTHING - ???

Has been questionable this year but who's forgetting he won the B&F last year on top of the rising star??

Can't afford to lose him and there is 0% Melb offer 1&2 for Lids
Be lucky if we got #1 in exchange
