Korkidas would seem a poor addition if we are looking to aim for play-offs, but would fit into our existing recruitment ideas of picking up players who no-one else will take. Korkidas seems like he should be a better player with his frame, decent speed and athleticism, but has been repeatedly been shown up on Boot's n All by Paul Cullen and Tony Rea before him. Greek international and been in the country since leaving the Roosters at the end of the 2002 NRL season so I'd imagine he'd be off quota.

Awesome no, but has been consistantly good all year. He is every bit as good as the rest of your front row, better than some and will add something to your squad.

I know that you are preparing for 3 years in the lower divisions, but we are aiming for beyond this, hence offloading deadwood like our current front row, and not adding to it.

If I am correct we have 14 players in contract for next season :

Clubb
O'Callaghan
Dorn
Howell
Bailey
Melling
Randall
Bryan
B. Bolger
Caro
Krasniqi
Golden
Gale
Sarginson (Don't know the length of contract)

Which means the following players are out of contract or ending their loan spell :

Ellis
Purdham
Temata
Ward
Wilkes
Kouparitsas
Thomas
Ambler
Burnett
Calderwood
Pryce
Mitchell

I would like us to keep Ellis, Wilkes & Thomas & possibly Purdham.

Korkidas?

Why not reach an arrangement with Crusaders for us to have our turn to finish bottom next year and just have done with it?

FFS

I think Sargison is out of contract at the end of season.

Would like to see Ellis stay, wondering if Rob Purdham will make some kind of decision at the end of the season ??

Temata is working as a personal trainer at my gym. Preparing for a career outside rugby league?

We should get Sarginson signed up on a 5 year deal...be done with it...he is going to be a star and we need him in our colours doing it!! He has already said in interviews that he sees himself staying here for a long time....so just give him that contract and make it official for god sake!!

If the club are seriously looking at Korkidas and looks like we have got Gower, I am quite concerned about the age of the squad for next year. From the players out of contract, I would like Purdham, Ellis, Wilkes, Thomas, and Burnett to stay.

Agreed
