  Norman and Gutho are both locked in until the end of the 2019 season - that's 2.5 years away. They both just resigned with us under 6 months ago. They're as "locked up" as we can get!
  
  And remember, signing someone for too long can bite you in the bum just as much as not signing them for long enough.
  
  Norman, Gutho, Moses and French are locked in - that's why the talk is now towards hookers and props.

  If the club has the cash id sign rein and either graham or klemmer whoever came cheaper or both if parra could afford which i doubt they could unless jennings was moved on.

  I think you Should stick to your nursing home duties. All you have to say is, parramate you have no idea and I disagree full stop.

  Parramate2 you should probably do some better research on the contract lengths of said players before posting a blog that is factually incorrect!!!

    I'm saying we should be uping their contracts for next couple if years if they continue their good form. Poachers are everywhere and a contract dosent seem to mean anything. Wasn't a true or false blog!

  Ok d#$khead we have open up Pandora's box by paying big coin on moses that still in his early career has yet to justify that kind of money. Sure players like morera seem to be going better in his short stint with our club and moses will only get better but a player like gutho has the potential to be twice the player that moses is and already has the respect of the team and more importantly our current top line player and capt beau Scott. Yes beau Scott ATM is our most valued player just look when he is off the field or not playing (roosters game). Same with brown he is the next Scott and we need him long term. Understand now? Our supporters always want to buy players and that but hey let's hang on to what we got first before paying overs for 1 player aka (foran 1.2mil). We have the crop just need to be patient and not go bonkers after a lost!

  Gutho has potential to be better than what moses will become

  Don't get me wrong I'm glad we bought moses but we need to hang onto gutho, Norman and brown before paying big bucks on a klemmer or a top line hooker. Kaysa is on the upwards. That's the point of the blog. Tep is looking so much better in attack from having moses. Tep and moses is like Norman and manu beautiful combo in attack!

  Our forwards are looking better with moses why pay 1mil for a bloke if we don't need him?

  While you raise good points, the thing to consider is that the primary players we have and that includes the ones you mention have, as others have said, signed new and/or extended contracts already, When extensions are signed, they also more often than not include incremental rises over the years which covers them more than adequately.

  The core players that we have include both young, mid and older age players, and those in the last bracket generally may have shorter contracts, than the others and so on down the list to the single year players who have to perform good enough to warrant an extension by showing they are putting the pressure on those above.

  We will see the club looking to the future once we get closer to round 20 onwards and I am sure that most here believe the coach and others in charge have things in and under control.
