Scott Thompson ( 32 in '18 ), Jarrad Waite ( 35 in February ), Ben Jacobs ( 0 games in '17 ) and Declan Mountford sign 1 year contracts.
*Sigh* North only have 4 players over 30 on their list.
Thompson more than deserves another year, his form warrants it.
Waite when fit is near impossible to match up on, yes it’s a risk but one most North fans including myself are happy for them to take. Again, our win % is through the roof when he plays.
Jacobs was injured ALL year, a bit hard to notch up games from the sidelines.
Unlike Gibson, these 3 are in our best 22.
Gibson played all the games, Jacobs couldn't get on the park, Waite played 10 and in your words you had a ridiculously high injury list....which included 2 of the blokes you just signed on. Risk? That's a positive spin if I've ever heard one.
Again, Gibson only played all year due to numerous others that would take his spot being injured. It would be realistic to think they won’t all be injured again in 2018, yes? Jacobs is 25, I don’t see a problem with him being right to play a full season next year, so no risk there.
Waite (I know he’s a fave of yours) is a risk (this is like Groundhog Day), one worth taking - pls read previous posts & turn the record over
