I'd be surprised if any player coming off contract this season will be extended unless they have a flying start to the 1st half of the competition
de Belin wasn't signed for this year until well into last season. There are a lot off contract. Some will be re-signed even if only depth players.

Tried looking up Hazletons '24 stats??? He's not a cult hero for no reason so must be their enforcer.
Has the Sharks made any counter offers or decided no room for him after signing Fonua-Blake. We need a big bopper with mongrel and some skill, everything Molo was not, yet we wasted 600k for him. I say offer 550k and seal the deal asap instead of usual pussy footing.

His stats are good?

I'll put my hand up for posting in the the wrong thread as well. Should stop it.

Love '26 for Jacks swan song. He is our best forward every year by a country mile.
I hope so but it will depend on his form. At his age there is the possibility his form will drop off a cliff. I don't believe it will but there is the possibility. I think he's the kind who will call it himself if he feels his form is no longer good enough.

The longer it takes to have the Hazleton moniker on the dotted line, the less chance we will nab him, imo. Obviously our board wont budge on their offer, which is what precisely?

They shouldn't budge. I bet the offer is more than he's getting anywhere else. And he's not a marqee signing. With the Couchmans and LPT. JDB to play on one more year. Sele and Blocka on the books for one more year after this one. It would of been nice to get a good prop for this year but from next year, I don't see what the fuss is about. I think we have a formidable front row rotation.
