We need a new head coach before the end of this season, so they can decide who to keep. One good season in four isn’t good enough, Smith needs to be replaced soon.

Rhys Evans - Garbage, get rid.

Kurt Gidley - Nice idea but he's past it, get rid.

Ashton Sims - Not the best but not a terrible player to have on the bench, could be worth 1 year.

Brad Dwyer - Very predicatable, not kicked on from two years ago, get rid.

Ben Westwood - Fans favorite but it's time to say goodbye and i'd bin him off now tbh. I want him to be remembered for the player he used to be. Get rid.

George King - Just get rid.

Andre Savelio - 1 year, good potential but still requires vast improvement.

Kevin Penny - Honestly I'd give him a year. He's an out and out winger with pace. give him a good centre and he'll score tries for fun.

Toby King - Really like this lad. Good build and good rugby brain. Needs a lot of 1st team game time now to help him grow. sign him up.

Matty Blythe - His time in SL has come and gone. Get rid.

Joe Philbin - Just doesn't do it for me, get rid.

Benjamin Jullien - From what we've heard he's tearing it up in the reserves... why isn't he being given a chance? hard to say... not a bad squad player to have, on year maybe?

Sam Wilde - Not developed at all and looks too leight weight. Get rid.

Jack Johnson - Same as T. King. looks to be a player like Currie but now needs to be playing 1st team rugby constantly. Sign him up.

Harvey Livett - Same as T. King and Johnson. Sign him up

So in recap I'd sign:

Sims (we can't afford to bin our entire pack. yes he's not the best but at least he can come off the bench and put a shift in.)
Savelio
T. King
Penny (50/50 on Penny, not a bad player to have in the reserves incase we get in a sticky situation.)
Jullien
Johnson
Livett

So that's 7 players to sign. Only large salaries would be Westwood and Gidley freed up.

Looking at the players in SL and NRL that are off contract, it's hard to see us releasing many players, nothing to write home about over here and can't see any of the big boys in NRL coming over.
Will we use a transfer fee 3 years on the trot, might aswell as were the 'scum of rugby league'.

Quote: moving on... "Rhys Evans - Garbage, get rid.
So in recap I'd sign

I'd mostly agree with this, the only changes would be to keep:

George King: Has done nothing wrong without tearing up trees, has improved year on year and provides good cover in the pack

Undecided:
Brad Dwyer: This is a funny one, we need a hooker to spell Clark for 20 mins a game plus to cover for injuries, so it's not worth dedicating a large amount of cap space here. If Dwyer is happy in that role then fine, I'd probably keep. However my guess is that Dwyer feels he should be on a better deal, and be playing more game time so it's probably time to let him go, although we would obviously need a replacement who would either be young and developing - see Dwyer 2 years ago, or be far from box office - See Tommy Lee @ Saints.

There were 2 players available last year I would have loved for us to sign. Matty Smith and Éloi Pélissier. There was also a player available on loan, Zac Hardaker.

If we'd have snapped those three up we wouldn't be in the position we're in now. Smith brings in an organising and a world class kicking game, Pélissier brings in a top quality hooking game but also the aggression into the pack and that niggling see you next Tuesday into the tackle. Hardaker speaks for himself. just imagine:

Hardaker
Lineham
King
<insert Centre option>
<insert winger option>

Ratchford/Patton (Ratch as a centre?)
Smith

Hill
Clark
Cooper
Currie
Hughes
Westerman

Pélissier
Sims
Savelio
Philbin/Livett

Matty Smith would have been perfect if we knew earlier on that Sandow was going to get cold feet, Kev Brown was abit of a panic buy in my opinion.

Albert Kelly would have been better a signing than Kev Brown IMO

In fact Ken Kelly would have given the side more pace and creativity than Brown.

Agreed mate, Chrissy situation should have been nipped in bud but both sides dragged it out and landed us in an akward situation. It was either panic or go without. Personally, if I was going to splash the cash it would of been on G Williams
