I'll leave it at that - was never in doubt 

Like Hardwick this deal was in the bag weeks before it was announced. RFC has become a very professional outfit, they run timelines and announces when it best suits the overall strategy. Its very good. PS - I think we got him really cheap 600k a year is cheap IMHO. A great deal for everyone IMHO.

Can you believe I've read a post elsewhere saying that we only re-signed Hardwick because Clarkson and Walls said we should?

I'm waiting for WAT to find out..... Will be priceless!!

We can now say NO EXCUSES- EAT EM ALIVE TIGES!

[TigerTimeII]

Omg. Amazing news

[Stripes]

All the cards falling into place. We have had more stability and less negative speculation surrounding the club in the past few years than I can remember for decades. We are a different club now The media must hate it. 

Well done RFC and well done Lids 

Now play out of your skin on Thursday night!!!

[Loui Tufga]

Great news and great deal! Well done again Tigers

[Balmyarmy]

What is it with this club and 5 year deals????

Just joking.  Awesome news. Two of our best players, lids and Martin, both stay for less $$ than what others could offer. Shows the club has turned a significant corner. Now start chats with cotch, vickers and reiwoldt.

Well done tigers, especially keeping it in house.

Great news for the club and shows the players really believe we are building towards success.

Thanks mate. Did my best. Got it done in the end 

[10 FLAGS]

All our big name players are tucked away from restricted and unrestricted free agency now. Gale and co. have protected the club well and the best part is that the failures in the draft in 2004 and 2005 etc mean that we can concentrate on nailing a big name player from another club without any consequence coming back our way. From the 2005 National Draft players like Murphy (CFC), Thomas and Pendlebury (Coll) Birchall (Haw) are just some of the decent names that may be available. In 2006 the likes of Gibbs (Carl) Leuenberger (Bris) Boak (Port) BEN REID (Coll) J. Frawley (Melbourne) and even Todd Goldstein may be available. I dont know the respective contract situations of these players, but as I said, we have no consequences for the short and medium term, so I would be hoping that Gale and co. are already trying to get us a big name player.
