For me....
Motu - club seem to be hiding extent of injury. Good player and would be off quota but wants to go back home (injury permitting) - Leaving
Reardon - Get Rid!!!
Craig Hall - Where gonna damage a promising kid by killing him at fullback. Needs to play centre in a good back line - keep
Raynor - Quality but poor bloke has never played with a decent centre - Keep
Tom Briscoe - Rising star - definitely keep (although we will probably bring him to our level) - keep
Calderwood - Cant fault enthusiasm. Guy thrives on chances with his pace will never get them with our HB's. Will never be a powerful 'break tackle' winger - keep
Yeamo - On his day and in right team - Class - Keep
G Horne - Not upto this level - will never win us trophies - Get Rid
R Horne - Love the guy to bits but never a HB - needs broken play to run into. Needs to be FB or centre. Static when receiving the ball, poor kick game and not a 'voice' in the team. keep but at FB
Thorman - Simply - Get Rid - Poor kick game -cannot run the line, poor full back playing scrum half
Dowes - grafter - tireless worker - cannot punch line though. Agar spells too long - Keep
King - had his day?? but only player who shows aggression - undecided?
Cusack - Too similiar to Dowes but takes up quota space - Get Rid
Thacks - Not the player of 2005 - Too many penalties, never really busts line, just runs sidewards - Get Rid
Maloney - unproven - Too early to say
Berro - World class but looks as interested as a veggie at a steak eating contest - if we cant turn around short time get rid - he wont be here for a struggle - if we get a new coach and recruit well - keep - cos hes class
Moa - Looks good - if only Agar didn't play him on an egg timer - Keep
Radford - plodder - Get Rid
Tickle - Good 2nd row forward- hard eorker but needs a quality running 2nd rower alongside - keep
Burnett - promisng - keep
Manu - Sheer quality but lacks the backs to put him in space - Keep
Washbrook - not showing quality of 3 years ago - probably due to poor coaching - get rid
Tommy Lee - shouldn't be FC class - Ged rid
Houghton - Rising star but if berro's fit and focused should be plying his trade in the reserves and as an understudy.
Whiting - great lad but injury prone - time to let him develope else where - get rid
Basically I think we need:
New coaches
R horne at FB
Raynor
New centre
Yeamo
Calderwood
New Stand off
New Scrum Half
Dowes
Focused Berro - or new hooker
New Prop
2nd rower - ideally Crocker / Manu
Tickle
Loose Man
bench off
Manu (if crocker arrives)
Lauaki (yes I'm dreaming)
Moa
New signing
