It should just be 5 overseas no loopholes end of. Hopefully that will be the case after 2011.

Not sure where he'll fit into the team at present....

Monaghan, Bridge, Blythe, Evans.

speaking of which, did anyone else think that today was just more reason to keep blythe in the centre's rather than in the pack?

I'd have him back in a heartbeat.

I think I'd play him right centre, let him & Joel get a combination going, just pure raw power and have Bridge inside Evans for a bit of guile & craft.

it would be a very interesting prospect to see those two in full flow.

nice position to be in.

I heard that King wanted to go back when he found out Hicks was leaving and asked for it and then he found out his wife was expecting and asked to stay again !!!!! Think it is obvious now that it is his last season with us and he will return with his wife and new baby when born. Good luck to him he has been great player and a great ambassador for our club. Has always gone the extra mile on and off the field. He will be missed by many. A great person with time for everyone.

I'm not sure if I'm bothered. I still remember him being one of the worst defensive centres I've seen in a long while. He did kevin pennys career no favours at all. He has turned his game around though and looked very good last year.

With Bridge and Evans in the centres there's no place for him other than on the wing. And at £500,000 a year (according to pie eaters) ......that's a bit much.

He genuinely seems to have enjoyed it over here though.I'm sure he'll be missed by his teammates more.

No one loses a player next year as 2011 is the last year for reduction in the overseas quota the only reductions in future will be when the likes of solomona and Richards and Hansen leave their respective clubs as they don't count on the quota and will have to be replaced by British players

Ahhh..I thought there was one more round of reductions after the 2011 season. My mistake.
