  I hope he took a pay cut then

    He was originally offered 100K per season which he knocked back.  I suspect he might be on around 120-130K per season which is very low for a starting hooker.  The only other starting hooker I know earning less in the NRL is Nathan Friend who is on the base 85K.

  I'd say we got him to sign for a good price.
  
  Can't deny that since he came here mid season he's always put in and for his age he put some of the younger hookers to shame.
  
  Happy to have him, esp as a mentor.

  Hard to be excited by this one. The bloke gives his all but doesn't offer any spark. I trust BA and know he must have a plan but it's hard to understand what it might be.

    Agree he is one tough work horse- but that's why we need Seggy

    I agree Fat Guy. What we demonstrated this year was a culture of toughness and resilience despite the circumstance. Isaac was always in the front of the queue when those qualities were required.

  It's disappointing to read some of the negative comments directed at IDG signing on again. The guy is still a competitor that is a decent squad member that if called up does a job and does it well. Has he been signed as our starting 9 for next year???...time will tell but I believe we need at the very least 3 competent hookers in the squad and at the moment as of now we only have two and he is worthy of a squad position.

    I'd say as it stands we don't have a dummy half worthy of first grade next season,  most clubs have one or at least two better dummy halves options then we have so far for 2017.  

    Yeah we shouldn't be negative because we have signed an over the hill 32 yr old to another two year contract, because he tries really hard and he tackles well.  Lets bring back Matt Keating then.........
