I’ll trust in Rohan’s judgement- attitude off the pitch is also important.

There are some senior players there who have been inconsistent in an inconsistent side. If we are serious about building a dynasty again we need to increase the quality of senior players. Most should go from this list unless willing to play for what they are actually worth.

And what’s that out of interest?

If Tetavano plays the rest of the season like he did yesterday, I'd happily give him a one year deal but it would be on a lot less money, something I can't see him accepting when he would probs get a two year deal somewhere else in SL.

Why a lot less money? That B would be an insult to him and he’d go to a rival. Is our pack leader now. We’re not going to be able to sign anyone as influential easily……

It'll be as much about how replaceable they are in the current market. I'd be surprised if we let both Austin and Sezer leave at the same time.

You are Zane Tetevano and I claim my £5.

Exactly. Depends what we can get in.
There's the element of player power to consider as well.
If we offer reduced terms, just look what happened with Hurrell and King.

FWIW I'd definitely give Austin another contract. Ideal if he's happy with one year deals.
I think we'll be looking for a full back.
And if Fusitua goes, we need to replace him with a centre or wing (depending where McDonald plays).
We need to be careful with Tet and Sezer.
If we let them go, we need to be confident we can replace with better quality.
Tetevano has been very good lately and if he plays like that all season, I'd be tempted to keep him on. I can't see us getting pedigree like his from the NRL now.
On paper Sezer is the organiser we need, but it doesn't seem to be working out. I expect Rohan is looking for a half to partner Austin as well.
Hooker is the interesting one - do we stick with O'Connor and Johnson, or do we look to bring someone in....
Will be very difficult to replace the whole spine in one off season.

Sezer is all class and will be much better now with consistent ball from 9. Surprised people can’t see that…..

Tetevano is an interesting one. We've seen him play his best rugby this season now that his role has changed. In past seasons, due to his conditioning, he's been able to play the full 80 at prop, but to me has been mostly ineffective.

Now that he's been coming off the bench or even playing backrow, he's seems to be a lot more comfortable and able to make more of an impact. I'd offer him another deal - maybe even 2 years on reduced terms.

To be honest, I'd get rid of Austin and Sezer. It's gonna have to be managed really carefully to not derail this campaign though. Could easily cause dressing room issues if not handled well...

Because hes rumoured to be one of the highest earners at the club and hasnt pulled his weight for the first two years of his contract. Now hes out of contract hes playing well

He'll be on 230k+ and hasn't proved to be good value for that. Big improvement this year from him but still not at that level.

You cannot pick a player just because he tackles well.I want more from my back row.

Don't see the point in keeping Donaldson he's not getting in the team now so why should that be any different next year.Plus hopefully Ruan will feature next season.

Doesnt get involved enough for me.Last week set two tries up but for the rest of the game you wouldn't had known he was on the field.

it's easier to replace 1 half back a year than 2 at once

Sezer turns up when he feels like it Fusitua has been an expensive flop, hopefully we get better value for money with replacements.

Sounds like the pack want rid of everyone already lol..!

So would you give all off contracted players a new deal?

It's annoying though it's like having a work colleague who doesn't pull their weight but when it's bonus time are the first to put there hand out.

I think Sezer is getting a tough time on here that he doesnt deserve.
He may not be involved in an eye catching way every week that most are looking for on here but i believe he is more influential than that.
He doesnt always take hold of the game by the scruff of the neck but never really has throughout his carrer as far as i can tell
This year he as been solid in most departments and the whole team has been inconsistent, it seems a lot of that is being blamed on him and i dont think that is the root of the problem

I'd agree with this, hes often the scapegoat, but like Tetavano, i dont feel like we are getting value for money and need a halfback that can take control of a game, and I'd rather keep Austin and bring in a replacement for Sezer.

Both halfbacks have been and still are good players. When we have field position both have come up with match winning performances both this and last season. They will always struggle when players who have the role of making yardage early in sets make costly errors. That said, both will turn 33 by the middle of next year. Half backs don't get anymore skillful, less prone to injury, or faster at that age. That would be the key consideration if I were in Rohan’s shoes. It will be very interesting to see how he plays his hand.

No. I said earlier Tet, Austin, Sezer def yes.
We’ll see on the others…..
