6. Horne/Turner/Nicklas
7. Seymour/Ellis
9. Houghton/Heremaia/Newton

We don't need Long or Obst IMO. Nicklas has missed most of 2011 so next season it will like getting a new player - and the kid needs game time! Our backup players i.e. Ellis and Nicklas need more than 3 or 4 games a season to develop. Losing Obst and Long could make way for a decent forward

fairplay, i would have liked to have seen him at hull

Obst is under contract, he isn't going to just walk away, and who is going to want him that will pay more than we do?

I'd rather not renew Horne's contract and keep Obst.

Horne is a far better 6 than Obst, it's not even close.

You would rather keep an ageing Obst who's best position is hooker, where we now have Heremaia and Houghton, rather than Horne, who has had a pretty decent season given the changes we have had in the halves, is 4 years younger and is capable of filling in at full back effectively??

depends on the terms, as it stands Obst is under contract, Horne isn't

Players like newton and ellis should be back ups not established 1st teamers. Seems a strategy based on expecting injuries to me

Absolutely. I mean if we give Ellis a dual contract then he might aswell have stayed at Leigh

I thought Sunday showed how much we miss Horne when he isn't on the field and obst looked lost without him.

I'd give horne 2 years on a reduced salary with a view to him getting involved in the coaching

but that is the thing, we'll be all sentimental about it and still pay him £80k a year

and what makes you think he can become a good coach? (not questioning it, just interested in your thoughts)
