Got to be Paul, I just hope that the quality of players is available.

Think we will have to keep Horne, as it will be hard to sign 2 quality halfbacks.

I'd use Lauaki and Phelps quota place.

Keep Fitz for another year, not at LF though.

Dowes edging his way to a one year deal also.

If we can sign 2 quality overseas players I would do a Saints and replace the likes of lauaki and Washbrook internally.

that sounds simpler than it would have been,

Not sure who was in support but what was to stop Meli flicking it back inside aswell

Couldn't agree more with all of that. I for one think Horney is playing well and improving in every game. I've liked Phelps so far but for me we need a little bit more from our FB. If he improves and provides this then he may change my mind.

About time we pushed Cunningham/Kent/Green into the 1st team and see how their full time contracts have progressed them.

Exactly my point - we looked awful ; painfully slow and not what you would expect in SL.

Having watched it back I'm wondering if Whiting missed the ball bouncing and thought he'd get head and feed by catching a ball 'out on the full' as it were. He has both feet squarely over the line which seems odd to have happened by mistake.

I think you are spot on there kosh

Does he protest the decision though ?
