So much for him wanting less money because he felt he wasn't providing value.
I suppose he thinks he was providing just a little less value than his 1.1 million

He’s on $1.3 million until the end of next year, so we’re still saving $400k. That is basically an extra first grader somewhere else for 2027. When combined with Jake’s new contract, it’s likely in marquee territory.

Jakes new contract?! Yeah, nah. 2026 should see him out.

With any luck that $900k also includes the long serving player allowance

Typical Manly: even the good news is tempered with bad news and media spin. But at least this will mean Tommy is locked in for another two seasons. That's not so bad, is it?

It's great because at his best he's a match winner. I just hope and prey we get that $2.2mil worth of match winning performances over the next 2 years because by god we're going to need them. If we don't get at least 35 games minimum out of him then 2027 should see the end of it.

I much prefer the one season extension. With his history of injuries we should be taking it year by year with Turbo

 

[Ben]

I have to say I was I little deflated when I read the news of the extension. 900k is too much for him.

What happened this time next year? Does he just keep signing 900k 1 year extensions from now on?

How does the club finally win the value back?

 

[Rocky]

Based on the last couple of years, 900k is no home town discount.

 

[Uk eagle]

The club should have stayed true to it's word and extended at 850. Really bad form to go back on your word. If Tom has a fantastic year the value of his next extension will go up

 

[chuckee]

Hopefully there’s clauses in there to give him the ass if he breaks down again. 900k is ridiculous for someone who reckons they wanted to refund a chunk of his salary.

Tom is not worth 900K; he hasn’t performed consistently at that level since 2021. IMO even offering him 750K over three years would have posed a significant risk for the club.
We also need to clarify Jake’s extension for 2027. I think any offer above 450K-500K raises even more serious concerns.

Jake shouldn’t get an extension at all. He should move into an off field role.
