At 21 years of age, and playing that many NRL games in such a key position, is truly remarkable. Having his contract sorted now allows Dylan to focus on the season ahead which we are all excited about.

"What do you want from a young half. Of course he isn't perfect he is still learning but is still 1 of better young half's and better then many experienced halves. Everyone wants to be so negative but if he is below average tell us who you would…"

  Yep what kid would throw away a $750k player option in his favour. Going on last year or the year before thats $187'000 a try, or $375k a try assist, or for those that believe him to be the messiah a whopping $1171 a tackle.

      ill simmer a little then, and say with hand on the heart, the $750k is worth it if he gets us to a grandfinal. 👍

        Is that legit - $750k for the final year of his contract? And people were scoffing at his next contract being worth a million, it's on the cards for sure.

Really smart move by Dylan. By all reports he's already on decent coin and he's only 21. There's absolutely no need to rush looking for that Marquee money right. If he progresses, by the end of 2023, he could be primed to land a mega deal and he's still only 22/23. I'm pleasantly surprised because I thought for sure we'd have yet another media circus distraction to deal with here.

    Ummm how did I get anything wrong ? I said the other day he'd be stupid to not take up his option.
    
    who else was going to give him 700+K
