| so its about that time that contracts will get renewed etc who would you like to see still here next year and who do you think will have had their last season in the primrose and blue??
OOCs
briers
morley
hodgson
solomona
higham
laithewaite
O'brien
mitchell
mike cooper
rhys williams
personally i would like another year from brett and lee!
unfortunately i think moz and sol may have had their last year
higham could go either way unsure but the way ts has been grooming different hookers like myler, grix suggests it doesnt look good for one trick.
O'brien and coops must haves on long term deals coops has come on leaps and bounds since the scrawny prop made his debut he has bulked up and now looks one of our better forwards. and O'brien is a class act now let alone with experience under his belt.
mitchell i think we wont be seeing him in p&b again but wish him well
rhys williams maybe again unsure
laithewaite i have only seen when hes played for leigh but looks good so hopefully will be given an opportunity to prove his worth

| Due to the injuries they've gone through I think Brett, Moz and Sol might possibly retire.
Briers - Would be worth another year as he's still healthy and still a threat to the opposition
Higham - Hopefully Monaghan can come back and then in addition we have options like Dywer, Myler, Grix even Ratchford could slot in there.
O'Brien and Coops - Gaz has been performing great and he definitely wants to stay (he was on our quiz night table) Coops has really improved this year and really deserves a new contract.
Laithwaite - Watched him at both U20's and Championship level, he's always working hard and impresses, he's worth a new contract.
Mitchell - Watching him last night for Cas he made mistakes and I don't think he is up to our level now. He won't get a new contract as we have better and younger players coming through and he hasn't progressed.
Williams - Not sure if he will make it with us, he would do a decent job for another SL team though. Always seems to be a bit hit and miss.

| I think Briers and Hodgson should be given a pay as you play contract for next year. This will benefit the younger kids coming through but also ensures they are there when needed.
Morley and Solo im not so sure about. Always dangerous and worth a place in the team but we havent seen solo yet and morley has not been himself so far this season.
O'brien and Coops deserve new contracts as they have both played well especially Cooper.
Higham? well it all depends on what Smith wants from his hookers next season. M Monas & Dwyer as regulars? if so higham will not be needed even if he has had some stand out performances.
Laithwaite should be offered a new contract IMO. From whats been said about him and how he has performed for the u20's and for leigh. St Helens will be sniffing around shortly for him.
I'm still not convinced about Williams. He's built well and has pace but there is something that isnt quite there, his rugby brain isnt quite what it should be but he always tries.
Mitchell will probably go to Cas at the end of his loan as he has performed relatively well for them.

| I'm sure I read somewhere that Briers has signed a two year contract with Widnes. Has that been confirmed any where yet?

| o'brien, cooper and laithewaite are musts to keep hold of, moz i think is passed it now, solo through injury, not sure about hodgson, would like to see ratchford at fullback if he does retire. williams, mitchell and higham i personally dont want to keep them for any longer with people like evans, dwyer and currie coming through we dont need them and would like briers but ive heard that he is close to signing for widnes but its not certain yet

| I would be shocked if he did join widnes. He's got more chance of silverware with us and he loves the club.

As a matter of fact it has, not sure where you've been.
Widnes coach Neil Kelly expressed his delight at the capture of the stand-off: 'Lee is a player we've admired for many years and we're delighted to have him at the Vikings.'
'Lee brings a great kicking game and is the best passer in the league. We think he'll form a great partnership with Owen Craigie, who we're bringing over from Australia.'

All sensible stuff, apart from the first sentence. Players of Briers's and Hodgon's talent and rep won't settle for 'pay as you play'. Hodgson showed when leaving Giants that a decent contract was essential, and he could move to any number of SL clubs, probably even get another two year deal. Briers would feel regally shafted to be offered such an arrangement. If Hodgson does not retire, I expect TS will want to keep him playing some games while Ratchford learns the trade in others. Briers will probably get another year and a promise of a coaching position.

I agree. These incentive based contracts will only work for players that are stuck without a club and have huge clouds over their injury record so they can't get a club to take a chance on them.
Also how do you budget the salary cap for a "pay as you play" deal? Do you base it on the player playing 15 games a season, 20 games, 25 games, what? What would happen if we had Briers on a pay as you play deal and had left enough money in the cap based on him playing 25 games in the season and he was fit and in form all year, do we have to leave him out in certain fixtures so as not to exceed the salary cap. Does the chairman have to knock on Tony Smith's door and say "sorry coach, best leave Briers out this week, we can't afford to pay him else we're over the cap"
Alternatively we could budget for him playing every week....in which case why not pay him that as his contract anyway...?

| briers = worth another year
morley = worth another year
hodgson = worth another year
laithewaite = longer term
O'brien = longer term
mike cooper = longer term
The rest = Mitchell will go, Higher too hopefully, Williams may have to go.
OR
Whatever Tony/the Club think is in the best interest of the club!!!
