Contracts for Billings, Roma, Dunstan

Post: # 1797213Post Crossy66 »

seems to have gone under the radar, but all 3 still havent signed.
Billings in our top 3 or 4, Roma probably top 7 or 8 and Dunstan really hitting his straps. Should be be concerned?

I wouldn't care if those 3 went elsewhere.
They would be a great loss for us, enormous, but if the stupid admin insists on keeping Mr 33% then I don't bloody blame them
if they walk.

I don't understand this. Why? Then for what or who? Finally being played in a position that suits him and offers the most value for the club. Again, why? And to what end?

Nope. Players are uncontracted at every club and I suspect they are working on contracts for these boys as we speak. We have done a very good job at retaining who we have wanted for 5 years now. Don't see it changing.

Billings yes, the other 2 probably not as much as wouldnt have too many teams lining up as yet.

Need to retain all 3 IMO

Yeah right. So we can get 2 average players for him. One that gets half his possessions and the other one who will be stuck at Sandy. Really progressive that is.

Billings is so overrated. Sure he is still a boy but he really lacks effort.. He may be OK when he is 30...roma a must keep. Nearly our best prospect by a mile

Who are IYO the 6 or 7 you would rate better than Roma?

Billings, Gresham, Carslile, Steven, struggling after those guys. Maybe Steele & Ross?

20 games into his career and he’s close to our most important player.

Parkey says nothing to see here so lock the thread.

Take down Saintsaitional at the same time. Discussion is not necessary.

Probably Steele and on past performances, hannas , so lock him in at 7
Could be in our top four in the b&f this year though.

RoMa is in our top 5. He is our next finals side no 1 ruck.

Will be close to the comps best ruck in a couple of years too.

He's doing well Ted, and I wouldn't argue whether he is 7, 5 or fourth as he is our best performed big man this year.
Interesting though champion data rank him 22th best ruckman atm, but I dont know the criteria, but it's more than just taps

Champion Data...what would they know. 😄
He might be down the order a bit I'm assuming because he doesn't get massive numbers in regards to hitouts.

Roma to be our 1st priority in signing with a long term contract.
Billings no more than 2 years if that so over rated at just not tough enough will never be an A grade player.
Really not sure why such a hype about him.

Even champion data got the election wrong.

Laurie, who has overrated Billings? Expectation has always been high but he's not a bust. Yep, Dunstan is tougher but skills are below par, as with Ross, even Steele. Mav Weller was tougher, thank god he's gone!

If Billings ends up being our 11th best player in a couple of years, I'm pretty happy that we will have a very very good top 10.

Billings has always promised but only this year playing better footy however not consistent .
Does go missing in big games.
So we give him another couple of years to be in our top 11 in a very ordinary side we have at present.

Yep, cannot see why an ordinary side would get rid of one of its better 2019 performers. I would have thought that player would be the type to keep. Plenty of other soil there to turn over.
