The GIANTS are delighted to announce they have re-signed the club mascot G-Man for the next nine years.
In an unprecedented deal for a club mascot, G-Man said he was thrilled to recommit to the GIANTS.
"When the club first approached me at the end of last year to talk about my future I said I'd like to wait till the end of the season to make a decision," G Man said.
"But when they said they would like to offer me a nine year deal I couldn't believe it, especially for somebody of my size. As you know, longevity in this game can be an issue for big blokes like me.
"But they said I was a great ambassador for the game in Western Sydney with all the work I do with the kids and they loved how I always do it with a smile on my face.
"And I'm rapt that Big Mummy is joining us. I met him under the Anzac Bridge this morning and he's almost as tall as me. It will be great to have him swanning around Western Sydney and Canberra."
A club spokesman wouldn't be drawn on the details of the nine year deal but confirmed it would include appearances at every GIANTS game in Sydney and Canberra as well as school and hospital visits as part of the Lifebroker Gentle GIANTS program.
"Naturally we did our due diligence and put him through a thorough medical examination before putting pen to paper. We have inserted a wear and tear clause in his contract simply because he is always being mobbed by children wherever he goes," he said,
"But we have no doubt he is worth every cent and hope we can extend him beyond the next nine years. He is not only proudly silly but he will always Stand Tall."
