He has plenty of ability and potential for me. However, if we have better in place i would allow him to go. If he is here as cover and wants that role then so be it. Im not fussy either way to be honest.

Yet again we let promising players go, and keep the ordinary, the guy has played well when given the chance and like Moa had good reviews from the u21.

Why do we stick with King Radford, Lee all have been given numerous chances to prove their worth, this guy has not had his, but I guess if you have ability you don't belong at our club.

Now what will our age of the pack be .

Lauaki and Radford are not props. King has already agreed a deal with another club. You are short of props next season.

Maybe they feel Lauaki is closer to fitness than at first thought.

Lauaki has already been earmarked for prop in all the announcements of his signing, and Radford is categorically a prop. You only have to watch him to know that.

rlSeems like Kath disagrees.rl

“We spent to salary cap maximum and close to our squad maximum ahead of this season; we then lost Crocker but had no-one available to a good enough quality to replace him with in an ever decreasing player pool."

Unless Crocker was on half a million pounds per year that is.

Lauaki and Radford will both play prop. Radford has been doing it for the last year or so.

edited for accuracy

Hopefully he wont be here.

So salary cap pressures have forced him to be released? Why sign that numpty from Oz then?

Whose been released?

If what ive been told is correct he has been told to look for another club but who knows. I still rate him as most on here are aware as being one of our better forwards but if as a club we want to progress the likes of Radders, King, Thacks, Tickle to name just 4 need to be moved on. Not good enough for a team with top 3 ambitions.

The Brother says we're half a million under the cap. Do keep up.
