JONATHAN Giles has re-signed with Greater Western Sydney, penning a deal for the next three seasons.

Winning Giles' signature is a significant boon for GWS, given the 24-year-old's outstanding form in the club's debut AFL season when he shouldered most of its ruck load over his 20 games.

Nobody ever listens to me. There was next to no doubt.

now will they get another ruck to help him out or just use the kids they have??

I could still see us hypothetically picking up seaby, and I reckon we'll grab grundy with pick 3.

Yeah, Giles and Seaby to be fielded for the next couple of years, while Grundy/ Phillips develop... then hwoever's ready to go first will be in when seaby retires, while the otherone will either play 3rd fiddle, or get developed to cover as a key back/ forward.

i dont know if you can get a full year out of Seaby though if his knee is as bad as people are saying. Mind you thats not a bad thing as it gives Philips and Grundy some 1s game time
