The club has opened  negotiations with Billy already, and hope he will sign 'sooner than later' on a new contract

this would lock in our teambackbone for the next 2-4 years

This will be an intersting negotiation process.

Billy deserves to be one of the highest paid players in the game but I highly doubt we can pay him anywhere near what he could get somewhere else after giving max. money to 2 players already. I hope he stays but Im not as confident as most.

I think you guys can be pretty sure Billy isn't going anywhere.

Hope the Storm can secure him before the season starts so we can get things out of the way and just focus on the year!

it wont be hard to get thrid party payments for billy, he is very marketable, and it appears that his channel 9 contract has been upgraded (just goin on his regular footy show appearances and this new game show) so if the storm can find some sponsors not linked directly to the club we should be right.

The appeal also starts at 7.30pm tonight and not 8.30pm as originally advertised.

As for Billy re-signing, for whatever reason i'm actually more confident of him doing so than what i was of Cam or GI re-signing. My reasoning is i think he'll be more likely to stay given that many others have decided to for the next few years including Bellyache and i'm sure Storm will move heaven and earth to keep him and find the 3rd party payments to do so.

Of course he'll get offered more elsewhere as all of the boys did but i'll be very surprised if he's not in Storm colors beyond his current contract.

Lets hope he stays for years everyone appreciates Billy Slater and the longer he stays at the Storm the better it is for our club.  :)
