Now that he is here, focused, and wanting to stay, it really would be shooting ourselves in the foot to let him leave. He's our best full back (Myler is also excellent) and in my opinion, our most complete centre. Appreciate that Newman's potential is greater and with luck he will achieve it.
Impossible to know. Maybe cap situation is restricting what we're able to offer? We've a core of young players retained on long contracts which presumably involve increasing salary costs through their duration. But agree, in on field terms a 2 year deal would seem reasonable
I wouldn't mind 2 years, as long as there is a clause about off-field behaviour. If he transgresses, contract breached and therefore cancelled.
There will be a clause in every players contract about off field behaviour and code of conduct any player/employee can be sacked if they breech. Personally I think 1 year is enough if plays well next year he gets another year. Its may be dependent on if we get the lad from Batley and he makes the step up
2 years without doubt. He is a class player and is showing it on the field. Great at FB and more than capable at centre and a good back up goal kicker.
