good on ya Lenny n Joey Lenny will have hit 30 by the time his contract ends, looks like a career dedicated to the Saints. Good stuff

And his 3 year deal would make him contracted to us until end of 2011, which would seem to take him out of teh equation for teh mooted new team in West Sydney - starting 2011.

they will probably be aloud to break contracts to join the inagural team, in forced trade conditions like waht happened at freo.

How do you get text messages from the club, do you need to sign up somewhere? And they don't use the number to send you advertising do they?

You have to sleep with Archie, and believe me, he doesn't need to advertise.

Gets that Sean Connery accent going, and BOY OH BOY!!!!!

great news, our best 2 midfielders signed up. Good to see lenny will most likely play his whole career with us. It almost feels the other day when archer crashed into a young hayes at the SCG all those year ago.

Great news- glad to see both signed up early in the year
at 28 the 3 years will just about take Lenny to end of career as he will be 31 by then and I would think on year by year after that

Joey is only is only 25 this year- so 2 years makes him 27 and then renewal

others close

Some contracts remained to be settled in 2008 but chief executive Archie Fraser was confident half-backs Jason Gram and Brendon Goddard and midfielder Xavier Clarke would also re-sign.

PS- I hadn't read this when I wrote the above.

Hayes said this latest contract may well prove to be his swansong given he will be near 32 by the time it ends.

"I am rapt to sign up until the end of 2011," he said.

"I have been involved with the club almost 10 years and this contract will almost see me out at the club."

"I still think I have got a lot of footy ahead of me but when I do come out of this contract I will be on the veteran list and when you get to that stage it becomes a year to year thing."

What pleases me the most about Lenny is that he would have no doubt been disappointed in not being named at least co-captain & may have also entertained the idea of going to the new Sydney team, but has instead signed this far out from the end of his contract in an obvious indication that he believes this team is going places.
