Outs: Kirke (played well this season, however think he will be looking for pastures new at the end of this season)

Hauraki/Clarkson - To allow one of the U20's to come through, i'm torn on which because both are useful players
Smith - replaced by Lunt's hopefully permanent signing
Webb - Already confirmed

Gotcha-Sir Kev's going to be 33 end of next year. If we're looking to build a team around someone, I'm afraid Kev's not the man. A glorious retirement he's soon to have, but he's coming to the twilight of his career, and as hard as it is, everyone at the club needs to accept that.

He is the perfect role model for Stevie Ward, and should be working with him over the next three years. Sinfield is supremely fit and looks after himself. He should be back at loose forward, and encouraging Ward to work the plays.

That is how I would be working it.

I agree he should be at the club, no question. But he can't play LF any more (any tbf, he's never been a high-tackle, high-carry LF like O'Loughlin, Langley, Harrison etc), and he doesn't have the pace to play SO long term. I'd keep Kev on as a player-coach to avoid the SC, certainly have him working with Ward, but the time for Kev to be a first choice runs out the end of next season, and we've got to be prepared for that.

Ward seemed very very reluctant to kick when I saw him play, highlighted in the Huddersfield game when the would all rush Sinfield and we would have nobody else to kick the ball.
I'd rather him play at 13 and use his running game and then his ball handling.
I suppose at the end of the day both roles are interchangable.

Kev assistant coach to either Brian Mac or an experienced battle hardened coach.
Bye bye Mr lowes, I have never rated you.
