HUDDERSFIELD - THE BIRTHPLACE OF RUGBY LEAGUE:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_43854.jpg



8 squad players will be out of contract at the end of this season.

who would you release, who would you renew?

David Faiumu - Big earner, 31 next week, been playing well though and a class act on his day
Peter Aspinall - release, unless makes a big impact at sheffield
Ben Blackmore - Down the pecking order for the wing slots
Jason Chan - Big earner, Patrick now coming to the fore in 2nd row
Scott Grix - 30 in a couple of weeks, connor the next full back?
Josh Johnson - broken into the first team, renew
Nathan Mason - not given much of a chance
Jack Miller - still learning his trade

obviously all depends on the ££££ really! if the price is right

Smurph?
I'd give fooey another year- be good to see him take up a coaching role with the scholarships- he did some community stuff with my lad a couple of years ago and impressed.
I'd give grix another year and time to bring Connor through.
Give chan two more years- he's good for it.
Of the youngsters I think Johnson and perhaps miller - not sure how old he is but still playing 19s.

Fuey keep another year and see how he goes! We let Brett go too early and he ended up having another 2/3 years in him
Aspinall can go
Josh Johnson definite keep he has looked good when he has come on
Grixy maybe let him go, I don't think he is AMAZING and Connor looks a really good prospect
I can't really comment in the others

Sorry yeah Channy I would give 1/2 years think he still has a lot left in him!
Blackmoor can go, the times I have seen him he doesn't look to be that same standard as Jodie, Jerry or Smurph!

HUDDERSFIELD - THE BIRTHPLACE OF RUGBY LEAGUE:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_43854.jpg



not sure if murphy is ooc

i agree about faiumu, give him a year, can cover a few positions.. and i have also heard good things about him when coaching the youngsters

im not sure on chan anymore, he will be on a good pay and with patrick coming through..ferres/lawrence/bailey/taai etc his money could be spent wisely elsewhere..

not sure on grix either, think its time to move on with him at fullback if we want to improve as a team

Anyone who wants to let Grix go for connor is deluded.
How many people have seen Connor play, how many have sen him at first team level.

Connor needs game time at a higher level before anyone can tell how good he is. If he is good enough i would like to see us Loan him to London and see if he can het a gig there.The same with all the other squad players.

No point us bringing any full back in at this club. They only become scapegoats on here.

Aspinall and Blackmore definitely to go.
One of Chan or Fooey to go IMHO.

Would like to see some additions and we have to lose a big earner to do that

To move on as a team we need to iomprove ina lot af areas a long time before we look at Full back.

on the basis of this season so far
we need

3 props

An interchange hooker

A quality half to go with Brough

When we have done the above then we can look at full backs.

Grix has done nothing wrong

yes thats the thing with connor we just dont know, maybe try him this season at some point but easter would of been ideal and it didnt happen

will have to see which way anderson goes about it

think we could lose chan and faiumu if he wants to bring in some real quality but on their day these two can be

Does Chan count on the cap? Thought crusaders players were exempt?

Is chan exempt from quota not cap?
Connor does look a good prospect but he isn't ready to just go straight in there. Id say give grix another year on the cheap for Connor to learn from- if grix had been banned I'm still not convinced baloo would have played connor. He has to start blooding him sometime!!! Fooey has been our best performing forward- he deserves another year and he may have been earning a lot initially but I bet each time he's resigned it's gone down! I'd imagine we can pay him even less for an extra year he won't get in the nrl before he's ready to go back.

:



Murphy - An absolute must for me, one of the best players we have !!

Faiumu - Definitely another year, class player who gives us something different these days as a prop

Aspinall - Hard to say as again, another promising talent so we hear who hasn't been given a chance..probably will be released without finding out !

Blackmore - has looked decent when he's played but like you say he's down the pecking order and can't see him getting a regular place anytime soon.

Chan - Yes, without a doubt, class player !

Grix - Yep, another year for him, let Connor learn from him and then see where he is.

Johnson - Yes, Looked very good recently and definitely one for the future, these are the kids we have to keep.

Mason - has been unlucky with injuries but i would give him another year as so far this he hasn't had a chance.

Miller - like Johnson, a real talent who we can't really let go without seeing what they can do.
