Just my opinions unless it's a FACT, in which case it's a fact.

So the club has form for lengthy contracts for players which turnout that no other SL team wants. (I'm not suggesting it's the same for Hughes as he is a solid if unspectacular SL 2nd rower).

I think you have over played your hand...1 example is hardly “form”.
Ps I think most of us were baffled by the extension to Russell’s contract. It was obviously a going away present from TS.

A lot were saying things like "I think I'll take TS's opinion on Russell over idiots on a message board".

Some odd signings then.... Taylor Prell.

Tony Smith has gone, he is now irrelevant to current signings or future ones.

Re: Jack Hughes : Tue Dec 18, 2018 12:04 pm  
I don't suppose any of us knows for certain, but I had always imagined that contract extension discussions would have taken place between the CEO and the coach. Actual monies that could be offered would mainly come from the CEO / accountant ( with his salary cap spreadsheet), together with implications for the rest of the squad ( "sorry, but that would mean you have used up the salary cap if you give him £xx"). However, contract length would mainly be a decision of the coach ?

So I don't think you can say our club has a policy towards short/long contracts. A three year contract is probably Price saying this guy is an important member of the team and I want to tie him down for the foreseeable future. I suppose it could also mean that they have had to offer him three years or they would have lost him to a competitor, but it probably arrives at the same conclusion anyway - that Price wants him.

If you don't like the contract duration you can either blame the current market - where there is a severe shortage of quality SL players, or Steve Price's judgement. Just as TS was rightly held to account for handing out a long contract to Russell. Why he even gave Russell a new contract, let alone a lengthy one, is probably one of the greatest mysteries of the modern game.

When Russell signed the 3-year contract he was the best fullback at Warrington. It was only after the Widnes game (when he got injured) that he went downhill.

I remember Russell playing the worst game he or any other Wire fullback has ever played for Wire.
The CC semi final vs Leeds at Widnes I think it was.
He was god awful from the first second....in contrast BWW...I don't think he got any worse he just didn't get much better.
