    Good and WOW. 2 years is a massive show of faith in him. Fair reward in deed.

        Pickers is the Libba Snr of our current crop.
        Bleeds for the club and can never be doubted about what he brings each week on game day.

          Here comes Liam.
          They say Burt Lancaster has one, but I don't believe them.

            I'd say he is very close to career best form and I'm delighted to hear he will be a one club player. He has more than answered the challenges many of us were asking at the start of the year.

                I don't think its a great idea to take all the old boys into next year. Picken and Bob have signed. Interesting to see about Boyd and Morris, both players who have talented kids knocking down the door.

                  Well, having come up through Willy, if he keeps this up for at least another year, it will have been a grand period of service to the club.

                    I get where you are coming from but if players are in near best form like Murphy and Picken and they are earning their spots then it's a very hard decision to delist them just because they don't meet a certain age profile. Boyd has also proven many wrong and it remains to be seen how Morris comes back.

                    I'm not sure we have as many younger players knocking the door down as a lot of people think.

                        Agree GVGjr. I'd actually say it is career best form.

                        It is great to see him utilise his flair and play on instinct.

                        Being seen as such a dour player in previous seasons we only got to see his flashes of skill and flair.

                        Now he is doing it more consistently whilst still keeping his hard edge.

                        Ultimate team man.

                          His skills are improved. His fitness is top shelf. His effort is always there. He kicks goals. He can tag if needed. What's not to like??

                          In regards to keeping all of the old guys I reckon that we can hold on to them as we don't gave many 24-27 year olds at the club so these old guys need to stay longer to help balance the books.

                            Picken's 28, he's at the peak of his career. He's hardly an oldie BT

                              And he is one of just 5 players on our list that have played 100 games.
