He has been very good for most of the season, think a lot of fans just look at the tries scored column for backs and then just write them off if they’re not scoring loads of tries

Has the potential to be a very good player for us, but at 29 it’s a bit old for potential. Always makes metres and looks dangerous, we need to get the ball to him in space or 1 on 1, he’s a potent weapon but we don’t seem to know quite how to use him. Defensively he’s adequate, but seems to miss a few or get bumped off a bit too easily, but that’s fixable with some specialist coaching.
Overall good that he’s staying, but 4 years at 29 feels like 1 too long.
It's not how much talent you've got, it's what you do with it that counts.

Yeh, 4 years sets a precedent on contract length. Others will cite McDonald's deal in their own contract negotiations. He's obviously athletic and expect he will stay pretty fit and very happy he's staying given he's been very good recently. But does feel like a year too much.
