Agree to a point
You have to remember that some players will not be offered new deals and they need to be informed privately and with respect for their service to the club this year (and prior years in some cases) before the club announce their replacements
For example: If Brannigan is coming that may well mean no deal for Govin. Gov deserves to hear that first hand rather than in the papers and not 2 days after running his blood to water in a Grand Final. Note this is an example not a rumour!
Likewise sponsorship deals can only be announced as previous deals expire.
There will be plenty to smile about coming out of the Shay over the coming weeks but things have to follow a natural order.
