2015 Squad Contract Renewals

[GAFFA]

i think you will find that there were some complications with the birth of his child last year. he was given an extended leave from the tigers last year to return home to be with his family. I guess he wants to be close to his family in Aus.

The Force have the concessions to offer a player like him a contract. The Tahs have JacPot the Reds and Brumbies both have marquee signings. The Force and Rebels have concession to sign more marquee players and he has a Link here with Foley and with players like Wykes and McCalman i don't see the issue.

And its not as if he signed a 1 year contract to tide him over till he can get a better gig over east he has a 2 year deal.

And Perth to Sydney is MUCH cheaper and quicker than UK - Sydney...

In one of the articles I read somewhere I could swear he said something along the lines of "I didn't want to be at the Waratahs (back in 2010) and the other three franchises were full". Maybe something went on there and he didn't want to go back.

Hope he plays as mean as he looks.

That is one scary lookin' mofo!

[Alison]

It's a shame he can't bring his wife and child with him to Perth. I'm sure they would be welcomed with open arms by the other players' families. The Force place a big emphasis on family life.

[jono]

Why can't he? If his immediate family stay in the eastern states, that's their choice as a family

[palitu]

I'm guessing that as he is Tongan, they embrace and live within their extended families.

Please any Tongans tell me i'm wrong/right and further enlighten me! this is purely from my observations!

Wow did we really re-sign Ebersohm for 3 more years?? He did well this year but I think 3 years is a bit of a gamble.

[Alison]

I don't think there is any doubt that Pek will re-sign.

We need to know who this Kiwi winger is that Foles is rumoured to be interested in! Was hoping it might be Cory Jane again!!!!

Too old...

[Kept One]

I thought that Chris Alcock had re-signed for another 2 years as well.

[Pitythefool]

Think he has - typo on my part - updated now
