Reading through various threads, there seems to be universal acceptance of DCE's value to the club, but opinion seems to be divided on just how crucial it is for the club to retain Foz.
And now matter how I try to look at it, I can't come up with a single scenario to justify this.
For mine, the retention of both players is vital to our success. I don't see another five eighth like Foz in the competition. JLJ is not an option for mine. NSW Cup player at best.
Given that Foz has been so praised by most here over the past 2 years (in terms of player of the year votes), it's a bit bemusing to me.
So, in people's opinion, how important is the retention of each and if you were Dave Perry, how much would you be paying to make sure they stay ?
For mine, I can't split them. I'd like to see them both sign for a minimum of 3 more years (but I'd pen 4 year deals if I could) and I think about 750-800 a year is about the money.
They're both not just quality players but quality blokes too.
