I would rather newhook.

They scored at the same pace this year and newhook scored at a higher pace than necas did when he was newhooks age.

Newhook actually plays centre instead of the "oh ya he totaly plays centre even thpugh he never does despite the team desperately needing a 2c" necas.

Finally newhook has term at 2.9 million for 3 more years after this one. Wherever necas ends up hes probably making double that because witht he one off season he had last year his arb case will probably be in the 6+ range.
