Big news in the Australian tomorrow regarding Mitchell Pearce and his future. @sydneyroosters fans will be overjoyed.


Looks like it'll finally be official

[Salvatori Grubber]

Awesome news. Thanks dude.

[Chris]

Hell yes!

I am keen to see how he goes this yr, I remb the first time I saw him his dad bought him into work and he was a very skinny 16yro. I thought this kid doesnt look like much, he has turned into the toughest #7 in the comp lets hope he produces the goods this yr.

That was quick.

Ok, so in regards to contracts now (not including Pearce):

End of 2014...

I'd say atleast a three year contract for Mitchell, which means our "spine" (1, 6, 7 ,9) will be together for the next three years, including this year (providing of course Mini makes way for RTS at some stage during the year).

It will be good to have Mitchell's future sorted before the season begins so he can concentrate on his game.
If he does re-sign I will be very excited.

what every successful teams need





stability

Seems now all the wife bashers, alcoholics, corridoor crappers and players who run 1 metre per game are gone. GOOD!

What time today is the conference?

[Muffdaddy]

They will probably announce it at the launch, along with $BW signing for next year too.

I don't think they would fomalise the SBW bit. The point of him signing a contract from Feb until Sept is so that other money he earns b/w Oct and Jan isn't included in the salary cap.

About time and sounds very promising. Hopefully he has a stellar year this year. C'mon roosters!!

Maybe they might use the terms 'allegedly' or 'hopefully' whilst winking....

Good news. Where is the poster who was saying he was a done deal at the Merge?
