It seems a bit early to talk about it, but there has been a bit of discussion in the local media about it, here is what I would do.

Kelly 1 year deal, but expect him to go
Tuimavave 2 Year deal
Sika Manu 2 Year deal
Mark Minichiellono deal will retire I think
Fetuli Talanoa probably a 1 year deal
Brad Fash 2 year deal
Danny Washbrook no deal
Masimbaashe Matongo 2 year deal
Jansin Turgut 1 year deal
Jordan Lane 2 year deal
Jack Downs no deal,think he will be released.
Nick Rawsthorne. 1 year deal

more or less as I see it, still not sure on fash long term, hes got the heart of a lion but just isn't big enough for a prop, would be nice to get Kelly for another year,

LR..... “Talks have already started with some players, some we are waiting to announce and others we might wait and see how they perform and how their bodies hold up.”

NO massive arguments here, although obviously Rawsthorne now gone. I believe we will lose Kelly and Manu to NRL and Minichello will retire. Perhaps we can persuade Manu who is not getting any younger, but if Kelly has another good season then good look to him back at his home.

Cant see Manu getting another shot at the NRL, think we’ll resign him on a two year deal. Been really impressed with his time here, don’t think anyone can fault how he’s played.

Agreed and hope you are right

People who know Manu tell me he absolutely loves it here.

Loves being in a rugby mad City.

Know family comes first but his family are also very settled.

Don't know why some think he will go back to the NRL.

Have I missed something, isnt Jordan Abdul out of contract too ?

How longs Sneyd got left ?

... 2 more years.

Would be great business if we were able to keep Manu. The way the market's moved players of his calibre are few and far between.

Radford in LE talking about Carlos and Albert - sounds like we might struggle to keep hold as our (SL) top level salaries are less than they could get as back up players in NRL.

Irrespective of money I think Kelly after 5 years here has already decided he will go back to Australia at the end of the season.

I don’t know him personally but if his mind is made up as you say it’s a shame but understandable. Incredibly skilful player; irreplaceable in that respect.
