I've given 3 examples of premiership coaches where the Clubs signed up the coaches for long deals and later regretted it.

If the Club had waited until mid 2024 it would have made a more informed decision.

 

Informed by what?

12 home and away games?

A modest two year extension makes perfect sense and encourages Goodwin to make medium term selection and list decisions rather than rash short term ones.

It also gives assistants like Yze clarity on their future.

I accept that most coaches, including Premiership winning coaches, generally stay too long and eventually get sacked. Very few walk away, although it's not unknown (Matthews, Roos, Hardwick). But I would rather have to sack a Premiership coach who stayed too long than lose one prematurely because he takes a better offer leaving us with a lesser quality coach.
