Quote: KaeruJim "Again I think it depends who is available, at what price.
If we are going to have a tilt at the title seriously next year, and we should be, we can't afford too many holes in the first 17.
I can see us trying to sign Eseh plus an Oledski-level starting prop, which for me would be a significant upgrade on the front row.
With the retirement of Donaldson and fitness issues with Gannon and Bentley, I think if Martin leaves we will replace him like-for-like with an OS quota second row (we just need a different type).
We still have plenty of risks in this squad going into next season and there's only so much Blease can do. But there are opportunities too with the hopeful return of Simpson, Gannon, Hudson to full fitness and some of the younger lads will improve with another proper pre-season.'"
It looks very much like Martin, will become an off quota player next year, due to changes in RFL rules. That would tip the balance for me in terms of keeping him. Would allow us to target two NRL props and still have the best kicker in SL. Of course this would also make Rhyse more attractive to other suitors.
