We need two halves, a centre and possibly a fullback.

and a prop

Ogre, Moa, Radford and ......possibly Lauaki or Fitz.

Radford isn't good enough, I don't think Lauaki is worth keeping and I wouldn't give Fitz another contract either, not unless we tell him he isn't playing 13 and we rest him more often.

I'd want a 5th prop. If we kept all 5 and played them as props with Westerman at 13 that'd do for me. If we let Lauaki or Fitz go we definately need a prop.

Radford is under contract so will be here. Assuming Moa signs then we would have three spots, Phelps, Fitz and Lauaki. We could use those for two halves and a prop. Sign Gleeson as the centre and stick Whiting to fullback. Letting Horne, Phelps, Fitz, Lauaki and Horne go.

Not sure what I would do as yet about Fitz/Lauaki, depends on what English players we could get for the halves?

Promote the young kid who is in the squad against Quins.

and a winger

Depends if he's ready for regular game time. He might be better as the 6th prop for 2012 and get some games and then to become one of the 5 in 2013 when Ogre and Radders go. It would be a big ask for someone to be the 5th prop when they've not made their debut yet. The injuries we get to props the 5th prop will need to play at least 10-15 games.

And who going to be doing all this recruitment ?

Aldus, wasn't it?

Wayne Bennett of course.

Anasta has signed a new deal with Roosters.

Not on the money he expects!!

All the top coaches earn a very good wage, Bellamys on half a million quid per year.

No super league club will pay that sort of money.

You think?

What do you think Smith is on at Warrington (including win bonuses)

There's no way Smiths on £500,000 a year.

you sound so sure, but how do you know?

you don't

id tend to agree..i cant see any coach getting nowhere near £500k.....id say £100K tops

Top coaches will be on nearer to the 500k mark than the 100k mark. Top people in any sport/profession earn massive amounts of money. It wouldn't surprise me if the likes of Agar was on 90-120k, Morgan nearer to 180-200k and the likes of Smith on 300-350k+

In 2008 I was told Morgan was the highest paid coach in SL.

I would find those figures hard to believe.

That wouldnt surprise me in the slightest. His media roles will bump it up considerably aswell i reckon.

Under or over?
