ratchford is also for the end of 2010 the club have an option for the 3rd year but other than that good work

being a wire fan i would love to see the likes of myler , ratchford , turner and adamson at the club ,, keep your yougsters ,, imo the likes of stapleton , fitzpatrick, phil leauli , and alker i would keep

Cheers.

I think it's evident that we need to look at the backs - our depth for wingers is shocking, as shown this season and we could do with a new fullback as well. Wilshere and Littler aren't getting any younger, although I think that Wilshere can still offer a lot to the team. It will also be interesting to see what White is like when he eventually recovers from his injury.

Overall, for next season I think we should be looking at the fullback, wing and the hooker positions.

Keep Parker Stapo Big Phil Turner and Wilshere Not to sure on Paul White as injuries have taken over him lately and I'd like to see us give Jewit another year

Of those whose contracts expire in 09 I think we will see Littler, Sibbit and Paul (stay in a coaching only capacity?) move on.

We particularly need a full back and a hooker in my opinion (both on the lower side of 25 preferably) and to strengthen all around.

I agree with the above.

Hasnt liittler been given a testimomial next year? That means hes probably staying doesnt it? I could be wrong tho

Stuart is on his testimonial this year.

For me a Fullback, hooker, a couple of wingers and maybe a back rower are needed for next season. I think we need to hang on to Parker, Jewitt, Stapo and Turner maybe big Phil and Malc might be worth another year and think you've missed John Wilshere out on that list his contract is also up at the end of the year, he'd be worth another year as a squad player IMO.

Get rid of
Fitzy
Paul
Nash
Littler
Sibbit
Not sure on white, think his injury could have buggered him up, but maybe another year to prove himself?

Indeed I did, I'll add it in now.

I agree on all the players you mentioned that we should let go of. We've got Malc for another year I think as I'm pretty sure he signed a 3-year deal just before the start of the season when we were in NL1.

Tansey has been signed for Hull today so talk of Turner moving on might die down for the time being.

Yeah your right about Malc, I was looking at Marlon in bold

It's only a shock because he's under 30 years of age

www.news.com.au/heraldsun/sport/ ... 55,00.html Just spotted this - us being linked to Gold Coast winger Chris Walker, along with Celtic and Wakefield as well. 29 years old and turns 30 at the beginning of next season - a couple of previous serious season ending injuries in the past and a reputation for being an ar$e off the pitch. Hopefully there's no truth in it.

i think theirs quite a few players we need 2 get rid of if we r 2 improve i would like 2 c most of the young players still here next season and if we let go littler, nash, fitzy,smith,paul,sibbit and maybe 1 of the props and signed 4 or 5 real good players (if theyd cum 2 us!) then we cud have a good team next season.

why would you get rid of smith?

Personally at this moment I dont think Stapo is worth another contract and if its a case of one from Stapo or Jewitt then I would go with the young lad.

stapo going back to oz next year

where do you get all this info from? ha i'd love to be in the know like that!

Hes probably are best prop at the moment

Very true but he isn't getting any younger and hopefully we can get a younger replacement who is just as good! whats happened to o'carrol at wigan?

[i wud keep ratchford at stand off and smiths not bin that great 4 my money and he must b on a few quid unless he cud do a decent job at hooker which a few said he was gud there against wigan uquote="Jaymc9"why would you get rid of smith?'"

Maybe so but he will be one of our top earners and if we need loot to keep the young uns he would be on my list to go.

very good point

wonder when Simms will be making one of his regular trips to Oz to speak to Greg Inglis/Israel Folau/Darren Lockyer etc etc ??

This is true from what i've heard too.
