Like Amateur. Most be why Ainscough has decided to go Amateur.

I admire his loyalty but wonder if it is as smart as Rangi Chase signing a long term deal with Cas a while back.

How about 1. Great marketing generating money, 2. Winning trophies generating money, 3. Good crowds at matches generating money, need I go on?

It was the club that rejected the offer. There's still a year left on Keith's contract so he never had the option of leaving if club didn't sanction it. Test of his loyalty will come next year when he's up for renewal. There's nothing to suggest he wants to leave but we won't know for sure until he commits to a new deal.

On the subject of renewal I hope he does renew. I knew when we signed him what a class player we were signing. He hasn't disappointed.

Would expect lulia will be pretty much first priority when we start talking renewals with players OOC next year. Shouldn't be anything like as big a turnover player wise next year.

Interesting that they went for Moon, then Lulia. Would have thought Lulia is a better player than Moon.

If I was who you think I am, then I would probably know exactly what money they were both on and I haven't a clue. Puzzling post.

Webb smith and hauraki all gone this year and only ACHURCH brought in.

Buderus, Ali and senior all recently gone and not replaced like for like. Pretty sure we have plenty of cap space, something that WE have always adhered to!

Fantastic news he's staying. He really will have to be a priority signing next year as i'm sure the top teams will be offering him some top wages.
