.... the only possible re-signings, as far as I can tell, are

Leon Pryce
Jordan Abdull
Iafeta Palea’aesina
Steve Michaels
Kirk Yeaman
Harry Tyson-Wilson
Reece Dean

I'd keep Leon Pryce but offer him a player/coach deal. Think he's got a lot to offer he club and squad, even if it's not as a regular signing.

Feka I can see staying on the staff but playing in a lower tier club.

Michaels and Yeamo may not be decided until the end of the season, both have done very well but with our three signings for 2017 all being three quarters, I can see both leaving.

Abdull and HTW should be signed up for 2 years each, with a loan spell to a Championship/lower level SL side for the first 3 months minimum.

Think Dean is pretty much nailed on to join Toronto?

If we are not signing any more new players (and in particular any more quota players) then we don't need to release Michaels as we don't need his quota spot for anyone else.

Of course we may need to release him for cap reasons in which case we will have a spare quota spot but won't be able to recruit anyone to fill it.

I presume we will need to release some players in order to afford the new signings.

radford has already said that retaining michaels was a salary cap issue. I had been fairly certain they'd keep yeaman but now not so sure with the 3 signings we've made all being middle backs

We need a specialist 6.

not sure on that one, our halfbacks this year have got us to top of the league and to the semi of the CC, plus add in oconner and we look ok imo

You have put oconnor on a few threads now.

His name is Jake Connor.

Sorry, just been bugging me

I agree.
Its going to be our Achilles heel once again.
It will be Tuimavave one week,Connor (if he signs) another week,Abdul when they dont work out.
Six is a specialist position and not one to be filled every few weeks by a different utility player.

Its our forwards who have got us to the top of the league
Sneyd has generally been good,his place kicking much improved but long kicking from hand needs to be improved.
6 is the problem and bear in mind Carlos has been with the team all pre season i havnt seen anything from him at half back to say he is the answer.
Much rather see him at left centre

video was good,pity the music was awful,had to turn sound off.

I originally wanted a six for next year, and was sceptical of Carlos playing there.
Think I've seen enough glimpses of him to think he's more than capable .
Got a running game, can kick and is strong defensively. Not the finished article and think he needs a bit more confidence in himself, but can see he's got the skills.
Can also see Connor playing there next year at some point.

We aren't signing a 6, I have to admit I go have concerns about Carlos, but the positives are

We have got to top with the current halfs, anyway saying it's all about our pack is doing a real disservice to our halfs, there are a few games with would have lost without Sneyd, Saints, Warrington and Wigan away, without Carlos we would have lost at Magic weekend.

Carlos has the rest of the season and the off season to prepare for that position as it seems like he trained for centre this year.

We have a couple of other options at 6 next year.

sorry wiz it is connor

My thoughts exactly. He'd have spent most of pre season training to be our starting centre.
Let's give him a run before writing him off.
