Interesting, why are you un-decided about Richards? Or are you waiting to see how he fairs after his injury?

I'd be happy with that as most of the guys we've released will be replaced with good young talents on much cheaper wages e.g. Gleeson-Charnley or Coley vs Davies.

It certainly leaves us some cap space to play around with

If Coley AND O'Carroll leave, IMO it'd be a bit silly not to replace one with a new prop. Or at least promote Crosby/Davies (which is probably what will happen anyway)

Absolutely ridiculous. Prescott has been one of our best props so far this year, he's really stepped up when other props have been out. He may not be amazing, but what do you expect. You can't have 4 James Graham's or Adrian Morley's. You need a couple of great props but then a couple who may not set the world alight, but will get you your 10 yards every time. Letting go of Prescott would be a mistake.

He has, your right, I'll just re-post what I said on the rumours thread;

Bingo, if he returns the same player I'd sign him till retirement

Forgot to add I'd sign Hock, a centre, and if Richards retires then a full back with Roberts moving to the wing.

If sam doesnt stay at fullback, gleeson goes and carmont retires and pat possibly goes we would be in for a massive reshuffle in the backs!!

1. Roberts
2. ?
3. ?
4. ?
5. ?

Yeah we have Goulding, Marsh, Charnley & Pryce but other than Charnley any of them have yet to show me that they are good enough to be in this team as first choice. Yes Goulding earned the number 2 shirt from last years form but he has been very quiet this year so far, exposed against a class team in St George Illawara, and is he any good without Gleeson? I honestly havent noticed him playing at all this season. Marsh.. hmm seems to be improving as the weeks go by but he's not exactly taken to Super League well in the way that the real good youngsters do i.e. Sam Tomkins, Kallum Watkins, Rhys Evans etc. and as for Pryce, despite all our problems in the backs we still havent brought him back from loan at Quins, makes me think we wont be re signing him, as much as I would like to see him given his chance right now.

is Goulding with out gleeson like gardner with out gidley ot lyon ??? so far this year i wud say yes

Yep me too...... if we want to keep goulding on the wing we are going to have to sign players like that. (which is fine by me!!)

Current Team v Next year
Sam Sam
Goulding Charnley
Gleeson NRL signing (I'd like Matt Cooper for a 1-2yr deal)
Carmont Carmont (He'll do another year)
Richards Richards
Finch Finch
Deacon/Tommy Mellor/Powell
Coley Prescott
McM McM
Fielden Fielden
Hoffman Hoffman/Hock
Tomkins Tomkins
Lockers Lockers

That might be a little harsh, he's still playing in exactly the same way he did last year making plenty of metres from dummy half and running the ball back fairly well. No winger can score tries without the ball. Has he even received a pass off Marsh yet? He might not be a threat in the air like some other wingers but that's the fault of the daft decision making from the halfbacks who constantly kick cross field to him when he's our smallest outside back. There's no point having a winger who costs more money when they still won't get the ball.
