Ikahihifo 3 year deal : Tue Feb 20, 2018 12:48 pm  

Great news Seb has decided to stay.

He would walk into any Super League teams starting line up without a doubt.

A massive boost for us with both him and Ollie signing up long term heading into the St Helens game. Jerry back too which is another huge boost!

one of the biggest signings for years to come out of the giants

brilliant news! will only get better, prime age still to come for a prop

we need to build around players like ikahihifo.. roberts on board for the journey too

hope we can get mamo and stop him going back to the nrl but may be tough that one.

good news from the club lately is good to see

This is indeed a great re-signing. I thought we would struggle to hold onto him after new year!

Good signing as probably the best prop at the club.
Like Roberts important for the team going forward.

Difficult to determine whether they are good deals as the value is not known.

If I was ken I would ask the coaches to list players in terms of their importance to the team.
Then get the chief exec to list what each player earns.

If the most important players are on the best wages all is well.

If less important players are on higher wages then questions should be asked about why.

I have no problem with seb and Roberts being in a higher bracket

Do you not think that happens anyway or do you think that Ken just goes round throwing money about willy nilly?

RS will have his list of player's he wants rid of and those he wants to keep then will approach Ken who will ultimately have the last word (financially anyway). Same at any professional club on earth, can't see it being any other way.

Mason £100k. Cough


Plus others I knew such as Gaskell and clough which make me think that our recruitment and retention policy is not the best.

My view is that Ken gives his money and others possibly throw it around willy nilly
