that is a good starting point, but we would probably replace with driftwood

My players to be released if they are to be replaced with top quality are

Thorman
Radford
Horne G
King
Cusack

I couldn't comment on Halll, Maloney and Moa as they appear to out of favour with the coaching staff, and don't get to play that often.

King
Radford
G Horne
Cusack
Tony
Thorman

Yet when we signed him (1st time round) people moaned because he was "injury prone" (2 broken arms in a year at Cas IIRC).

Thats one of the reasons id keep him for another year, although he blows hot and cold, he is 99% of the time available

Yes correct but how many times since 2004? none as far as i know.Hes been dropped but never injured.

pretty sure thats the case (I was agreeing with you btw in the last post).

Let go of,

Motu
King
Whiting
Cussack
Hall
Radders
Thorman

hall and whiting,dont think so the rest by all means

All my opinion of course but i think Whiting is a squad player at best, people say his future is in the pack yet he ran full tilt at Mguire two weeks ago and made no impact at all.

I feel for Hall and the reason i would let him go is because our coaching staff dont have the ability to teach him anything. I think if Hall went to rovers Justeeen would take him under his wing and turn him into some sort of world beater

cant argue with these 6... i think motu will be replaced at full-back by tansey,thorman is a definate gonner due to his appaling form so far,radford offers us nothing that an average superleague player on low wages would do, we could save a small fortune if he went....cusack is a plodder, solid but nowt better than an average forward, g.horne has had too many chances and still has no set position, king..gives %100 but doesnt play enough games...

these sort of players would not get in any of the top 4 teams in my opinion..maybe tony when fit, but i cant see many more wanting our cast-offs....

King - not good enough, best days are well passed him

Radford - not good enough never has been and offers nothing

Cusack - average plodder waste of a quota spot

Thorman - nowhere near good enough

Tony - isn't a FB for me and also becoming injury prone

Lee - not good enough 3rd or 4th choice hooker don't need him

G Horne - not good enough and has no real position

Dowes - average plodder offers nothing in attack

That is quite a lot of salary cap space that could be spent a thousand times better

give your head a shake

I don't care what you say, you can't just have a whole pack of explosive players. You need work horses as well, granted we have too many. But Dowes maybe doesn't offer alot in attack but he's a damn hard worker and a very good defender, he should definately stay. Cusack also isn't a plodder, however I think he will probably leave anyway. Lee has earned at least another year imo and as much as I like Tony he isn't good enough to be first choice fullback and I don't really see where he will fit in elsewhere. Radford to go, again a work horse but I would rather have Dowes than Radders tbh, I don't think there is enough room for both. Thorman and Horne can go for me.
