So two schools of thought here.

Back yourself, the longer term, or strike while the iron's hot.

It's a very personal decision.

Let me put it that way.

You sit down with your advisors, and you try to figure this out, and you make a very personal decision.

But you can make an argument for either.

A very strong argument for either.

Yeah, young, covers the ground, ticks so many boxes.

I'm fully with Casey on this, yet again.

You have Lionel Messi in your roster, you've got to surround him with legs.
