No brainer for me.

We need back rowers, Olbison is a back rower. I know he's not a world beater - but show me a list of other back rowers who are available and could be acquired within our current financial limitation...

The fact that he was evidently considering going part-time and getting a 'proper' job indicates that the offer from us was modest - presumably far less than his previous contract. So for a modest outlay we are getting someone who can operate effectively at this level, loves the clubs, wants to be here etc.

...and hopefully knows he is capable of better than we've seen recently. He's a solid second row with a fair bit of incentive, imo. I'm Happy with that.

Into his tenth year it says on the website so he'll be due his testimonial too.

happy enough retaining Olbison. Stalled a bit in his development this year but finished strongly. Gives us another solid option in backrow.

The link below contains a list of NRL player retentions & movements. It's not official but appears quite comprehensive. It lists Burr and Moseley as leaving the Titans to join Bradford. May be some truth in it. http://www.thekennel.net.au/forum/index ... ll.100731/
