Briscoe has been really disappointing for me this year. No winger is good enough to be an English international if they can't finish off the situation Briscoe was in on Saturday when he broke the line and had the fullback running backwards.

Briscoe is on nowhere near the sort of money people think he is on. He has been offered a big contract, but is currently not highly payed

Brisco signed up cheap on 4 year deal aprox 50k and seymore on well over 100k should be around 200k spare if both players where to leave also ticks on over 100k and Omeley so would be alot of money going spare on the Cap should we lose these players i think ticks will go back to Lancs and Omeley home but i hope both stay but we will have some money to spend next year for sure when you take into account Gelea, whiting who else could be out of contract whos on decent money

briscoe, o'meley, galea, tickle and possibly seymour would free up a huge wedge but I doubt we'd replace them with similar quality overall

All be gone by Feb 2014.

On that basis then do we go balls out on a 7 and replace the other positions with youth?

Fook knows.
Just shows the enormity of the overhaul that's gonna be taking place at our club.
Fasten your seatbelts.

Thurstons taking offers of a million a year?

My black and white mate would say take it. The rest were'nt worth £650,000 on saturday.

Agreed - they weren't even worth a here today-gone tomorrow annual brewery deal.

Pretty sure Heremaia's 3rd year is an option too (assume this is in the clubs favour) he's a decent player but not irreplaceable, but if he's on big wages than I think we'd have to let him go to fund the squad re-building.
