Might be a good time to get the deal done soon and with Jacko to come out and say how much he respects the Coach and has learned from him.

On reflection it might be why he is yet to re sign Mr. Leg.

Depending on the size of the wager you could be spot on.

Only at other peoples expense.

He should be bullied into signing a new contract 

Wow

Heard a whisper that he going to sign in the near future for a further 2 years.

Heard it via a friend who usually has good mail.

We shall see........

Hope the Eagles focus all their attention and money on securing English.

Well, implicit in that headline is, who they are not chasing, and for what reasons.

Best in the comp? You must have missed the Champion Data rankings

No surprises there. I predicted a 2 year extension some time ago.

Would be a silly move to sign for longer when we all know he will just get better. 

I am hoping Oliver signs a long term deal now that he's heading towards free agency.

We just saw why he isn't elite ... :)

I think there should be a category above elite where a players like Oliver and Petracca could be ranked.

The grading like A B and C have been used by people like Gary Buckenara there should be an A+, A-, B+, B-, C+ and C-

Then players like Gawn and Jackson would be ranked properly.

Every time a new term for an high level player or skill is coined, it slowly loses its meaning as its definition is softened more an more. It used to be 'excellent', 'brilliant' and 'star', until people were using those terms for every hack that played more than 15 games in a year.

'Elite' didn't exist as a rating 10 years ago, and it probably won't be used in 10 years' time as someone will popularise a term that is even higher than elite to define players that even surpass the level of .... *checks notes* .... Jack Scrimshaw.

Yeah, like use of the term "hero". Even someone who runs a supermarket is a "local hero".

The classification 'elite' would have to be the most meaningless segmenting of players in any comp anywhere in the world.

Yes he is elite for his age and experience and was in the last half of the GF plus about 5 other games.

He is elite in his age group by winning the 2021 Rising Star !!
