Calderwood : 1 year deal with a year option dependant on injuries
Yeaman : For me No unless he plays out of his skin for the remainder of the year
Dowes : 2 year deal for me
Radford : Get rid best rugby been and gone IMO.
Tickle : Definitely providing he wants to stay. If so 2 year deal for me
Fitzgibbon : Providing no serious injuries etc 1 year deal
Manu : 2 year deal
Cusack : Retiring but still would not offer new deal with quota and age being factors
Houghton : need to keep our homegrown talent. Still potential to fulfill but 2 year deal
Whiting ; ultimate clubman and never lets us down. 3 year deal
Hall : great potential and homegrown. needs to continue to show improvement as shown on return last year. 2 year deal

Would let yeaman go on the basis we would have hall, briscoe and turner vying for starting centre spots with whiting also available to cover there. whiting to get regular gametime in the pack for me if either or both fitz and tickle are not signed on.

with briscoe in the centres (in this hypothetical situation) would look at either another established non quota winger or simply promote from within with lyne, tuffour and j.briscoe all hopefully able to have a few games each next year.

definitely need a new prop with radford and susack going so would need a non quota prop (LMS for me) and look to promote from within if possible or look at other clubs young props. if this isn't possible then i would look at lauaki and possibly fitz to do a stint or 2 in the front row

now take it to pieces if you wish

do you see briscoe as a permante winger?

I dont and I would hope for the future of the player that the club doesn't. As it stands at the moment he is doing the job, I wonder what he actually thinks about?

Whats your thoughts on him becoming a permanent fixture on the wing?

I don't like him playing there now tbh, centre for me.

I agree, but like Hall if he doesn't start playing there soon he will struggle to become a top class centre. I don't buy into the theory that they can start on the wing for experience and then move into the centre. Centre is possible the most difficult position on the field to defend from and unless you're playing there on a regular basis its even harder.

Weak, safety first coaching could end up ruining this huge potential.

I agree, but he will definitely be a centre next year. Just hope he doesn't have positional difficulties being on the other side of the pitch.
