Yes i know Reardon was in that team, but since leaving the club he has not come back the same player at all. Platt although i think he has played well this year, is not a player i could see playing in any trophy winning side.

Listing players for a clear out is tricky without knowing whos available to replace. Take Platt, he has been very good this year, our best , but if two world class were available I'd release him to make room. However, given that we really don't know the possible or probably available. These are the players I think we need to retain, any others not on list either I wouldn't miss, think we can replace internally, or some I would pay the taxi fare myself. This is also ignoring the OOC situation and is just my view on the players from what they've put in (or not) this year.

Must keep and built around;
Lynch, Scruton, Langley, Donaldson, Whitehead, L'strange, Kearney, Finigan, Addy, Wardle, Olibsion.

Keep and hope to develop/improve under new regime, but if better options are available then so be it;
Platt, Kopczak, Crossley, Halley, Sheriffe, Godwin, Crookes, Reardon.

Can go tomorrow for me;
Hall, Worrincy, Sculthorpe, Sykes.

Orford and Menzies are different, If Orford wants to stay and is fit then place him in build around category. If he wants to go back home let him go tomorrow. Menzies, I think he'll choose to leave rather than go again after whats happened this year. And if we have a small and diminishing cap available he might not be the best use of it next year anyway. Before anyone shouts at me, yes he is our bext player by a distance and a legend, but, he is not getting any younger and we need an overhaul and if we have to use his cap money to bring in 2 or 3 good players then I would. (but if Hall and Orford go I'd retain definately as we'd already have cap and quota spots opened up) If we can bring in players anyway and still offer Menzies a deal then keep also as there is no better example to have in the squad for the kids we're bringing through.

I agree with that summing up.

Platt, Sykes and Koppy all appear to give 100% but lack a touch of quality.
Reardon is either unfit or can't be 4rsed
Worrincy is a liability, gone backwards since he signed

Platt's done well in his first full year at centre and finding 2 players better than him, that we could fit in quota, is unlikely.
Kopczak's improved as he's got more game time so no I've problem keeping him assuming he keeps getting better.

Keeping Menzies to me is a no brainer if he thinks he can go another year, which his interview in the program says yes.
Hall has been underwhelming but he's another 2 years to show he's a better player.
Langley must be kept and his early season form (pre injury) was the best he's played for a while.

Sculthorpe doesn't look like he's going to be fit enough again so try and negotiate a release.
Reardon was a fitness gamble that didn't work.
Worrincy has to go.
Nero has gone but I'd have not offered another contract anyway as he's not consistent.

He is, shame it is consistently crap though.

-Sheriffe - Retain unless better option becomes apparent
-Platt - Retain - running and playing well
-Worrincey -take him for a drive and allow to stretch his legs, 'Great Escape' style
-Reardon - don't renew
-Sykes - renewed so out of scope
-Hall - Apparently off to Cas
-Sculthorpe - not a fan
-Kopczak -Playing well consistently now
