Not sure on those retirements TBH. Think if Pryce was retiring we'd have been in the market for another half back for next season. And the club ran an article just the other day on how Ellis is on the road to recovery and looking forward to next season. If he was retiring I doubt they'd have ran such an article.

This is probably Pryce's longest spell out of the game for many a year. He's not in the "biscuit body" category. Ellis has basically abused his body with the monster hits and spells on the pitch every game. Still worth keeping. He'll be holding a large chunk of the cap which will be released at the end of 2016.

Yeaman has been stealing a living for 5 years. Westerman similarly. That display against Leeds in the cup was the final straw and he never got it back.
I can't see us keeping Bowden much longer either.

Some thing to do with one and one still making two.
Do the maths and Pryce been injured all season never done any body contact before a game if you watch him

And yet he gets involved in several tackle per defensive set.... go figure....

Do you fancy a job as Chelsea's club doctor?

Bullshyyyyyyyyyyte pure tripe

Think you don't want to live in real world, we have lost Sa and brought 4 class players in from NRL [2 World class]
and you think Cunninghams and Howarths savings pay for them .
Give your head a shake.

You mean you have not watched Pryce do his own thing behind the line when training [that's why you watch them before a game]
Watch and see in future.

You are right, except you have forgot Linehams, Paea and Rankins wage.

Yep Dave did forget them but also never mentioned Taylor and Washy .
Still think we are going to lose one of or more top players.

Your maths is pretty poor.

Leaving along with the two you mention: Paea, Rankin, Lineham, Sa. Reckon there's a fair wedge of cap being freed up right there.

Maybe we are just better year on year at managing the cap now we're not paying the likes of McDonnell and Arundel £130k.

Utter hogwash. In our first home game against Catalans, Pryce was targetted many times. Took some horrendous hits and never left the field.

Sitting in South, I see all the contact training and I assure you, he's always there. A relative of mine is also on the field at that time - he's laughed at that comment.

And/or just taking advantage of the numerous loopholes in the cap. A club can easily and truthfully say they are spending the cap while their player wage bill fluctuates significantly. That said I'd expect departures, even if it is just non-renewals.
