Just guessing but I'd say you only go 4, 5 or more years if you're getting a bargain. If you're paying current market value, or more, you don't want to lock it in for longer than you have to. Especially if their contract is locked to the TPP.
Agree. It's locking these longer term big contracts to growth in TPP that is often overlooked and erodes their value to the club. As I understand it, Treloar's deal wasn't locked to TPP and he's now really good value given he hasn't taken any of the 20 odd percent TPP growth that has occurred since his arrival. Signing Grundy on something like $900k means he's really well paid but if that's locked to TPP even a small 3% annual rise in TPP means that compounds north of $1m by the 5th year of the deal whereas a flat $900k per year frees up a $100k in TPP toward the end of his contract. I'm sure these are the sort of discussion being had.
