Well done Jay Pitts. A players reward for their high standard of play is to get a new contract with the team around them and that is what Jay Pitts as deservedly done. What i cannot understand alegend is that you see this as "underwhelming" Having been fortunate enough to watch his career unfold from when he first played for us up till present day, I can honestly say that he is playing the best form of his career. Like I wrote earlier if you play well enough you deserve to be rewarded for your endeavours, if other players want new contracts then they have to match JPs commitment.
Was just making the point ,we have got to no when to let old players go Pitts as done a great job, but there is a time when they move on ,and I am surprised if is a two year deal .he is 36 .One of the all time greats forwards from Wigan as called it a day and he is not as old, and Amour who was up with the best retired from St last year who is also younger ..Wigan seam to be going down the line of a young pack and it is doing them no arm I agree with the point. I just think Pitts is an anomaly. I reckon we'll still have one of the youngest packs in the league. Agree, he is, and we have. You can't just look at players' ages, and when they hit 33/34, it's time to think about moving them on. You've got to judge each player individually and assess them in the here and now, with an obvious eye on how long they will have left. I think someone like Pittsy is the kind of bloke who's gonna be completely honest with himself and the club with how much he's got left in the tank, how much is he still loving playing the game, and everyone can see the quality of RL he's playing, which imo is better than ever . Each player has been through their own career paths that can't affect how long they can play for, so there's no set rule for all, not nowadays, where players look after themselves better than what players did even 15 years ago when it comes to diet, training and medical care. Some guys start the game young and get a load of injuries as they mature before they settle down, but that usually catches up with them. Others say like Sam Burgess, just put their bodies through hell and have to stop playing. Everyone's just different, some injuries just become too much, some just fall out of love with the weekly grind and want to move on to their next phase in their lives, others just gradually get slower and lose that edge. Look at Ryan Hall, I thought his career was coming to an end after his NRL stint 5 years ago, but he's continued to play at a consistently good level since returning, and he's 37. Pitts, imo, reminds me of Steve Menzies, who played until he was 39. Like Steve, people would say this would be his last year, but his performances never dropped off, and he kept on going until he called it time at Catalans.

alegend:A 5 year injury problems, keep well clear ,We should have learnt our lesson with Trueman Where do you get a 5 years injury problem from bud? He's averaged over 20 games a year between the NRL and NSW/Q Cup since he made the NRL in 2021, which for his age and position is pretty solid imo especially when you consider who he's behind in that Broncos front row - Payne Haas , Pat Carrigan and Jordan Riki. The only bad injury to my knowledge, that kept him out was when he suffered an MCL injury, which kept him out for about 8 weeks, but he still managed to play in 18 games. That's the only real injury I can remember him having, or can find info on, keeping him out for any time. He played 16 NRL games in 2021 and 4 NWS Cup. He played 14 NRL games in 2022 and 6 NSW Cup. He played 16 NRL games inb 2023 and 9 NSW Cup He played 12 NRL games in 2024 and 8 Q Cup. He played 2 NRL games this year before Maguire sent him down to Q Cup because he promoted potential star Ben Te Kura, who's an absolute beast for a 21-year-old, the tallest player in the NRL at 6ft 9 and weighs probably 125kg. From what I've heard watching the NRL, he's out of contract at the Broncos this year and has already expressed his desire to move back to Sydney, and Michael Maguire wants to make room on the cap, so he wants to let him move on. He's a good player and exactly the right age, 25, which fits with what we're doing. I think he'll get another contract in the NRL, but I would be very happy if he landed at Trinity.
