Quote: Eastern Wildcat "After that showing, it is hard to find any positives, but lets try.
I think England, and Bill Tupou played well, as did Stu Howarth. I think on his performances, Howarth needs to be around the 19 man squad, even when Moore and Simon is fit
Kirmo to me is finished, not only as a captain but as a player.
Miller and Finn together couldn't open a door. I think Miller would go well alongside a really good half back. Liam Finn has spent nearly his whole career in the championship, and watching him you can tell. He is out of his depth.
I have said it a few times, and we really do need a top quality half back sooner rather than later. If we don't have room on the cap, then I feel we need to offload some players, even if no one comes in, we can still terminate player contracts. I would go for one of the probable higher earners who isnt getting game time, or even the captain himself.
I am not sure yet about Anthony Tupou been here for a holiday, to me he may come into his own when the pitches dry out more, he is a David Solomona style player, and he was the same'"
In what way can we just terminate players contracts who have no club to go to? Those contracts would still have to be paid in full, as such we would still have the same issue - no money for a decent player.
The only options are to try and offload a player or two to another club who would pay their wages instead, although i'm not sure who ould be interested in the ones we would be prepared to release. Or we take a punt on a cheap untried youngster, which is a risk in itself.
The other option is to take an out of favour player from another club who are willing to part-payhis eages to get him off the books. Travis Burns maybe springs to mind? Otherwise we are stuck with what we have got.
