All three are still contracted to FC for next year.

All three will be way down the team sheet if we keep them.

Any rumours or speculation whats happening?

Between them they will be taking up a good bit of salary cap!

That said, Yeamo and Whiting may not be starting players next year.

jason crookes? i thought he was on a two year contract that ends this season?

Realistically, we need to be shot of all three, AND Yeaman, for our squad to be the most efficient it can be in terms of salary cap management.

Nope, three years.

Another great bit of business by Gentle & McRae.

What. A. Mess.

Just tell them they are free to go if they find other clubs. Otherwise we'll just have to stick it out for another year, it's a problem of our making, not the players fault.

If they don't make any appearances do they still count on the cap? Surely if we deregistered them as players but carried on paying them it wouldn't count on the cap. Would it?

agree with the first part, no professional player wants to be sat on his arris for a year, it would be in their best interests to look for another club and take a hit in their wages

as for the second, unsure how it works

Reckon we've already told them they can, problem is why would they leave for less money?

No chance they'll leave and take the hit. They say they're staying to fight for their place, forcing the club to loan them out to get them off the cap whilst still contributing to their wage.

They get full wages and look professional too.

yeah, because Pearson had no say in it...
and Ears wasn't involved at all

stop blaming the past, Radford is crap

Standee in blame Radford for everything shocker.

Every thread so boring

These three were signed when the rugby side of things was entrusted to McRae. AP has admitted himself he didn't have the required rugby knowledge when he took over. He has now, hence his more hands on role.
Gentle never consulted any of his assistants on signings. Radford can be blamed for some things, but not for the inflated contracts these three are on.

To be honest, I've been one of Radfords biggest sceptics, but the anti-Radford brigade on here have driven me to be one of his supporters!

Just been speaking to Joe Arundel at Cas panthers, he is staying at FC, he's going to rip into pre season training & going to take it from there, seems a real decent kid.
