Geez nice dollars for Waite (not saying he isnt necessarily worth it though)... How come he gets a three year deal and 1AW only gets two years??

I would have thought Walkers future is as bright as Waites (if not more so) so why wouldn't you give him the same contract term??

Good decision to give Livo only a one year deal at this stage, given his injuries....

Because Waite is more advanced than Walker at this stage, and a 2 year deal gives Walker scope to adjust his contract after 2 years, assuming he developsas expected, instead of after 3 years.

Sensible for all parties, and fairly typical of current contract practices at all clubs (except for Saints throwing dollars at the geriatric millionaire).
