Bonts Signs Contract Extension

Re: Bonts Signs Contract Extension

Hat's off to all those involved in recruiting him and re-signing as well.

Not only did we take a risk on selecting him (overlooking Aish, Scharenberg, KK, and others), but it has paid off.
Rewinding the clock November last year you would think that out of the top 10 draft picks, you would of expected Bonts to take the longest to develop, being skinny, tall and under-age. Not only has he been a stand out given his rawness, he's pretty much 1 good game away from winning the rising star for the year.

We can only hope that he just continues to improve each year along with his fitness and body.

He's also a very well mannered and intelligent kid with little or no ego.

Awesome.

Bonti and Stringer in the same side makes me giddy.

Re: Bonts Signs Contract Extension

What would a player with the upside of the Bont be worth? $500K a year? $750K a year?

If we are throwing $5m over 5 years at General Patton, then there must be a very healthy war chest at Whitten Oval.

Re: Bonts Signs Contract Extension

Gotta say I'm disappointed. 2 years is well short of the 10 years we should have signed him up for.

Has taken way too long as well. Should have put pen to paper well before the draft.









Well done to all involved in getting the deal done.

Well it's a 2 year extension, so he's contracted for 3 years after this one. Only 7 short
