Leadership and age demographic wise too, he should be a priority signing.

Having already lost ANB and Gus in the last 3 years, we can ill afford to lose another emerging, disciplined leader, who is in the 25-27 age bracket that we basically don't have on our list.

Great reasons to keep him amongst others.

He stood under kolts high ball out of defence in final 2 minutes. The mark probably saved the game and he took the hit.

Age demographic ideal if he stays.

Tom’s like many of our younger and fringe players has been in great form this season.

Although players always seem to be in career best form in a contract year. Funny that.

Make no sense for him to sign while his form is on an upward curve.

Hope he stays, leadership role beckons.

This is based on absolutely nothing but gut feel, I don’t see him going. He’s just starting to hit his straps, a spot in the MFC midfield is ripe for the taking, and I don’t see the family factor being there (yet) like it was for ANB.

Shocking that both him and Rivers are both possibly on the way out, while they might not be stars they both would be key drivers to any potential success we might have over the next 4-5 years.

Gut feel says he stays, just trying to extract maximum value from what will be the sweet spot in his career. Has been in the leadership group as an emerging leader since 2022 and was pivotal in helping The Brand (Consultant) assimilate for the 2025 season.

So was ANB and he left to, in a similar sort of position, won’t ever get big money at Dee’s but someone else might make a big offer

ANB didn’t leave on more $

Definitely smells like a manager looking to add 20% to the contract and a couple of years. Fingers crossed thats the case - hes been fantastic this year after a couple of lean years. The King effect has transformed him, would assume he would have been leaving under the previous regime/game style
