OOC
Manu
Cusack
Fitz
Dowes
Radders
Tickle

So, plans then?

Cusack, get rid
Fitz, keep but think he will go back to oz or retire
Tickle, just bought house in wigan I think so will prob leave?
Manu - must keep at all costs
Dowes - I would keep another year
Radders - get rid? Not sure

Leaves us light, but with room to manouver? Guess a lot depends on Fitz and Tickle's life choice. Burnett for me though looks good and but we might be short in the forwards?
Would you keep the 2 english boys then and go for some back action in aussie?

Hopefully only Yak will leave, will be retiring.

The rest could well stay, Tickle might be the tricky one.

trust me,tickle has not bought a house in wigan,my daughter is good friends with his birds daughter,by all accounts he is staying

yes, so i've heard

I'd get rid of Dowes and Radders, not good enough if we want to be a top 4 team.

Isnt Tickle in the process of signing a new contract, Hope he stays. I also reckon Fitz may stay one more year.

With Cusack going to retire we must keep Radford

It's ok saying we need impact players but we also need players who can play 60+ minutes to allow the impact players more time to rest.

Dowes should be the only other one not retained IMO he offers less than Radders.

The only problem with getting rid of Dowes and Radders is that with Cusack retiring (which seems likely) we are going to have to find 3 British superleague quality props. Easier said than done. afaik there is no real hot prospects in the reserves who play prop either.

Exactly! We need to find replacements before we think of our retention.
Strongly believe LMS will leave Quins this year, if so i'd like to see him replace Cusack. Other than that i'm not sure there's enough quality out there to justify releasing players, even Radford!

It depends on whereagar see's others, mainly washbrook, whiting and turner playing, if he wants them as forwards we'll have to lose a few ooc forwards to bring in backs.

New signing, LMS?

Backrow

Tickle
Manu
Burnett
Whiting
Fitzgibbon
Kent
Cunningham

The reason I've pushed Lauaki into the front row is we've got some very good young backrowers coming through and they need game time in that postion.

It pains me to say but I don't think Washbrook has a future at Hull under Agar.

The rumour mill says he's Wakey bound.

If true I'd try and get a swap with murphy now.

let dowes and cusack go. for me id let go either dowes or radders and for me radders is the better player.

Tickle to Warrington keeps being aired around again. We are in desperate need of a good goal kicker.

I'd presume your at full cap now? Do you have many ooc players at the end of the year?

We can add Westerman to that! Apparently. viewtopic.php?f=2&t=451862&start=15
