Quote: Jake the Peg "So we're now past the May 1st deadline day but no announcements on retention of our OOC players. What do we expect?
These are the ones showing as OOC on the sticky thread
I'd release Talanoa due to injury concerns, Michael's it depends on salary level as he is ok but takes up a quota space.
Would swap Thompson for a prop. I would retain Mini & Ellis for one more year for their leadership, but surely we'd be able to get them on a slightly reduced wage due to their age?
Fonua will be a massive loss if he decides to go, but I suppose that's the gamble you take with singing younger overseas players, if they impress they will be back to the NRL. Same happened with Rankin the other year.
