| Quote rugbyman_1865="rugbyman_1865"Players i would consider releasing from there contracts or not renew deals.
Motu tony - maybe a bit harsh he's been out for a long time but he needs to improve, he lacks quality under the high ball but if he can get back to the form of 2006 he would be fantastic.
Chris Thorman - For me he as done enough damage, and needs a fantastic second half to the year, for me he came in for his kicking game and at times hes none existant.
Peter Cusack - Would consider giving him a new deal but he's to much like Dowes and a waste of a import position.
Lee Radford - Too many back row forwards and Lee offers the least options.
Greame Horne - Would also consider a new deal, as a utility player he has great effort and not bad player but depends on who we can get in to replace him.
I think we desperatly need a centre and a real go forward prop to replace carvell if not two.
Could also do with a full back and winger then i think we would be complete.'"
Really don't think we need another one. Calderwood, Raynor and Briscoe will be fine. If need be, Hall can play there, or we could just take a Leeds fringe player on loan again.

To be honest forgot about our massive signing of jordan tansey so forget the winger.

| Quote thehullwhitestar="thehullwhitestar"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'" TL the only one i would offer a deal to, the rest your right about, all average at best!

| Quote Jake the Peg="Jake the Peg"Lots of talk about agar clearing out the deadwood at the end of the season but are the deadwood? Suppose it depends how you define deadwood
The players off contract are:
Byrne - already gone but hardly deadwood
Thackray - possible deadwood but probably our best prop over the last month or two
Cusack - similar to byrne, not spectacular but deadwood?
lee - not the greatest player in the world but bags of effort and improving
whiting - one of the most consistent performers in the team but would he be a starter if we're at full strength?
Hodgson - surely can't be described as deadwood
Tony - one of our best players last season before his injury IMO
thorman - dead as wood can be but only been here a season so can't really be considered as fundamental to the problems at the club
g horne - averageness personified
maloney - looks a good prospect. SHould have had more gametime IMO
moa - waste of an improt slot
So the ones off contract can hardly be described as deadwood IMO. Unless by deadwood they mean players who are just average in which case tehre are some but not enough to fundamentally change things around unless they use the spare cap from this season to get rid of the likes of dowes, king and radford'"
thackray is a definite for next season.he's the only impact prop we have!!!!
i'd rather have him than dowes,moa or cusack

| Thorman - not good enough
Cusack - plodding workhorse, never threatens the line, waste of a quota spot
Tony - thanks for everything but time to move on
Dowes - plodding workhorse, never threatens the line
King - great servant but all good things come to an end
Whiting - great player but sadly and crucially no speed
Radford for me has been playing like a plodding prop all season and given that role I think he would offer more than both Cusack and Dowes. At least he has a presence about him.
Tommy Lee has shown enough (just) to warrant another contract and should improve with the influence of Long.
G.Horne has done a solid job without ripping up any trees but he has more pace than Whiting.
Saying this though the biggest doubt for me is the coaching team!
With no apparent ideas regarding tactics, team selection or the interchanges, I think Mr Agar is out of his depth as a SL head coach. The most important role at the club is the head coach and no amount of money should be spared in securing the best that money can buy.

Workhorses are not meant to break the line every time they run with the ball, i cant agree on people saying get rid of Dowes, great defender and works hard all the time he is on the pitch, a must keep for me.

Agree.
Kite
Lauaki
Dowes
Thackray
Maloney
Radders as cover for both prop and 2nd row. Radders will be better if he's spelled more and has a point to prove, which will be the case if he's competing with Manu/Fitz/Burnett in the 2nd row and those mentioned above at prop.
