If we are actually offering that much, we could probably look at signing someone better and younger. He is a quality player, but i'd rather sign somebody younger.

If we did sign him, would we be playing himat 6,7 or 9? I could see Macca letting Jeffries go and using Wing 6 Deacs 7, but i'd much rather see Wing and Jeffries as a half-back pairing. Oh well, he would certainly add improvement to what we've got now.

He is hardly past it! I think we would get at least 3 years of good service from him. I wouldn't pay too much notice to the figures quoted either, more likely a number plucked out of thin air.

I know and I shouldn't look too much into age either - Look at Beaver!

It's likely both would be retained IMO.

We certainly need three halfbacks for cover and competition. With Wing also able to cover 9, he seems like a good option

Well it definitely means we won't have Rinaldi next season then. So maybe 6.Wing 7. Deacon 9.Newton

When Newton needs a break:
6.Jeffries 7.Deacon 9.Wing ?

Jeffries on bench?

Personally, I would have on current form (and presuming Rinaldi goes at the end of the season):

9 Newton / Godwin
6 Wing
7 Jefferies

With Deacon being used as cover for 6 and 7
