Stanley re-signs for 3 years

[stkildathunda]

Versatile tall forward Rhys Stanley has inked a new deal with the Saints, extending his contract for a further three years.

“I couldn’t be happier, the club has shown faith in me until the end of 2015, so I’m stoked,” said Stanley.

“I’m really excited to push this club forward and grow the membership base, and help develop the club as one of the big powerhouses of the competition.”

Saaaaaaaaaaad!

Also, great to hear this. Really excited to watch him develop over the next few years.

Paid tribute to Watters - nice to see and the faith repaid with some loyalty.

Don't forget Sedger...

For mine, this is the best and most important resigning news we will have this season.

He's the only Tall attacking prospect to have shown anything significant since 2001, bar Jarryd Allen.

With Kosi and Rooey only a couple of years left and only one other ruckman on the list he's mighty important to us both now and into the future.

Great news, very important to the Saints to secure such a talent. I expect him to be a future champion

So, where were you about 9ish yesterday evening?

[Calais]

Great news.

[defacto]

this was the one i was worrying about.

IMO losing stanley would have been 10x worse than losing BJ. the kid has alot of potential that we have just started to see now that he's under a better development program.

GWS were very keen on stanley.

[jays]

Great stuff

[hAyES]

Key re-signing. Great news.

[Doctor Two]

well done big fella

stoked

[skeptic]

would love to know what they signed him for... granted it's none of my business though


would really give us an insight to the club.

Rhys Stanley =
- a player that has been maligned a lot considering how young he is
- many felt coming into this year that unless he improved rather drastically he was close to being delisted
- has shown some marked improvement for a youngin but yet to really stamp any type pf authority

3 years is a long contract for a player that is still something of an unknown quantity

Can't help but feel that he either signed at a rate far too low for what he has done... or maybe far to high for what he has to do

I'm glad he signed though.

What do people think he'd be on?

[saintbrat]

more than me skeptic and I've been at my 'craft' for 30+ years

But I am very pleased that Rhys, Scott and Ahmet are pleased

[Beekay]

What do people think he'd be on?

complete uneducated guess.. between 160 and 220k.

[SainterK]

Don't forget Sedger...

WHO....

Just being silly Bob....

[Eastern]

A good signing, and if Ross Who is on the money (has a track record of accuracy) there could be more before our next game !!

[Cairnsman]

Awsome news. Really think the Power Tool is going to be massive to our future. Hope he gets back soon and get's as many games for the rest of the season and then has a good pre season. Next year will be his break out year I'm hoping.

[Dr Spaceman]

[The Redeemer]

He has played 7 matches this season?

Whilst he has looked to improve this season let's not go nuts here.

Has he taken a game on with a match-winning performance?

Until he does, champagne bottles stay on kids

[Stillwaiting]

Great news, I was worried that he might leave. It seems that Watters is well liked by the players

[thejiggingsaint]

Any news on Soddard?
