Unless we move players on there won't be much cap available next year and definitely not enough for significant signings mid season

There'll be a few coming to the end of their contracts who need to seriously up their games or they'll be gone possibly early, Lane and Fash are two that spring to mind. There'll be movement, club has show it can be ruthless now

I hate sounding up myself in such situations but I was there so I guess I can say it!!

Fash needs a big season and it's his testimonial year too. Be interesting to see how he goes especially as he'll be playing catch up with missing a big chunk of pre season.

And won't be a shoe in for the first time in about 3 seasons

Fash and Lane won’t be FC players next season

I still have recurring nightmares about Lane

Fash is contracted for 2026 …

Obviously we’ll have to see how Fash starts the season, however I’d doubt he’ll make the first 17 and will be on the fringe.

Unless there’s a marked improvement in performance and his discipline I can see him being one of the next players moved on. I can’t imagine our new owners/DoR/Coach are going to sit on their hands and put up with any non performing players next season.

He’ll probably get plenty of games still, Ashworth struggled with injuries and Sao will no doubt have disciplinary issues. Also Asiata, who knows how he’ll fair games/minutes wise.

That’s why it’s important to get another forward in, so the likes of Fash aren’t playing out of necessity most weeks.

I thought Myler was quite good.

I’m expecting our discipline to be much improved next season. No excuses. Ligi and Fash were woeful in that aspect last season and it can no longer be tolerated. I doubt many teams win a game when have a player sin binned or sent off, especially in the first 60 mins.

I trust a fitter squad will also reduce some of the injuries. Although some will always occur in a full on contact sport.
