The poor man's bonaire:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_32641.jpg



Lots of talk about agar clearing out the deadwood at the end of the season but are the deadwood? Suppose it depends how you define deadwood

The players off contract are:

Byrne - already gone but hardly deadwood
Thackray - possible deadwood but probably our best prop over the last month or two
Cusack - similar to byrne, not spectacular but deadwood?
lee - not the greatest player in the world but bags of effort and improving
whiting - one of the most consistent performers in the team but would he be a starter if we're at full strength?
Hodgson - surely can't be described as deadwood
Tony - one of our best players last season before his injury IMO
thorman - dead as wood can be but only been here a season so can't really be considered as fundamental to the problems at the club
g horne - averageness personified
maloney - looks a good prospect. SHould have had more gametime IMO
moa - waste of an improt slot

So the ones off contract can hardly be described as deadwood IMO. Unless by deadwood they mean players who are just average in which case tehre are some but not enough to fundamentally change things around unless they use the spare cap from this season to get rid of the likes of dowes, king and radford

i'd say Radford and G Horne are definite deadwood

the squad only needs one of Dowes or Cusack

Thormans so rubbish he's more a peice of MDF than actual wood

and despite being a fan I think Tony has a lot to prove in the next few months.

Maloney and Moa also have to prove themselves but with their salaries being low we could keep them for another season at least.

Whiting - 2 year - quality player
Maloney - 2 year - looks to have a lot of potential
Hodgson - 1 year - untried
G. Horne 1 year - utility

Would also keep Thackray for another year as there aint that many better available props to replace him with.

WTF??? Thackray is our only genuine impact forward and you wouldn't offer him a deal.

and you would offer a deal to another utility player in G.Horne??? When we should and rightly so be signing whiting up

As I said I would offer Thackray a deal.

G. Horne I would keep because he is a steady player who can cover a number of positions, every team needs utility players

Tansey and Whiting will provide the utility next season so i think G.Horne will leave.

Would definatley keep Thacks,Maloney and Lee.

Yer but in the backs we would of lost Tony and Byrne and replaced them with Tansey. So I think we need at least one more back just incase of injuries like this and last season.
