I agree we should deal in 1 year contracts but with extensions so we can trigger them and either sell them, get money or keep them playing so we can get promoted.

Will probably depend on what the players' agents are telling them. If the players sign a deal that includes an extension it may also affect the agents fees too.

I don't believe we have only offered straight one-year deals, definitely not for the established players.

I would imagine a lot of the deals offered would be with options of additional years and/or triggers depending on appearances.  

For a lot of the players who are in demand, us offering a two/three year contract still won't be enough to compete.    If a we offer a player a two-year deal and a league club can match the length but treble the salary, we've not got a leg to stand on.

It's bloody frustrating and very disappointing but it works both ways.  We've benefited in the past when we picked up Pearson and McKeown under these circumstances.  No doubt we'll benefit in the future from it too.

I know that we have offered at least 3 of last season's squad 2-year contracts this time.
