[quote=Ricki]Never had one. It remains a consideration but I'm not sure the ones who have been brought in have justified the $500,000 or more they have been paid. You have to question whether they are going to put more bums on seats.

It was commented on somewhere in the forum that on the latest 442 podcast, the editor of the Mag, Trevor Treharne (who, according to his Wikipedia page, "is very good at his job"), said they had talked to Ifill recently and his contract expires next month. I'm not sure if there is some confusion that from next month he will have 6 months until his contract expires and can listen to offers from other clubs, or it actually expires which seems crazy for both player and club to agree to as it makes it hard for player to sign for a new club or club to replace with new player.

I would hope that that he is signed up for at least 1 more season.

Paul had mentioned previously that he wanted to finish his career at the Nix.

Hopefully this is the case as I am not about to look for another slice of bread for my sandwich!

If all the Squad and coaching staff were involved would that make it a "Club" Sandwich?
