Rohan signs 3 year deal

[Bexl]

Don't know if this is old news but Wednesday's Hearaldsun said he signed a new 3 year deal.

I hadn't heard it, but it is most welcome

It was mentioned in one of the other threads, but probably deserves a thread of it's own!!

Is that a further 3 years from now, or just a years extension on his original 2 year contract or what?

[Bexl]

It was only a small bit in the paper but it looks like its another 3 years to me.

[Lucky Knickers]

Great news!
Is there a source?

[Kirkari]

The Grand Master Tang on tap for 3 more years. Awesome!

I know he's only played a handful of games, but I daresay that locking him away for another 3 years probably would have cost a fair few dollary doos. Google isn't giving me any luck with links to any info?

I hate to be a stick in the mud, but I can't see anything on the Herald Sun site, nor could I find anything to verify the mention on the other thread..

PLEASE prove me to be a pessimist someone!

Only a small article in the heraldsun on wednesday if you can get a copy of that you will find it in there.

This Gary Rohan interview which is linked from the RWO Wiki confirms as I suspected that he signed for 3 years at the start, rather than the standard obligatory 2 year draftee contract. If memory serves me correct we speculated on RWO that the Swans moved quickly because a 2 year contract would see him come out of contract this year, smack bang in GWS' window (even tho they have the same concessions next year).

I'd love to see that he signed for a further 3 years again, but it would be a real surprise if he was doing all that stuff when he's still got 18 months to go on his current contract.

yay!!! I do like hims.

I must admit I am sceptical - not that there was a piece in the Daily Telegraph but that it is true. Extending a contract out for a further 3 years would be an incredibly high risk both for Gary - who will be currently getting paid primarily on potential and with a CBA in progress - and for the club, for a player who is still very raw and far from a sure thing.

Would seem likely that someone at the Tele heard something about an initial 3 year contract and got himself a bit mixed up. A one year extension, to take him beyond the reaches of the GWS recruitment concessions would make sense for the club, though maybe not for Gary himself, given the money GWS has to throw around over the next couple of seasons.

[Bexl]

The heraldsun did make the point that he was now out of GWS's reach so what people are saying about a 3 year deal instead of a 2 year one to start his time with the Swans sounds right.

Agreed, though it's looking like time for an apostrophe refresher session all round.
