I'd look for another youngester to bring through on a full time deal from either inside the club (Williams?) or out side.

Props
O'Meley 2011 Quota
Moa 2011 Quota
Radford 2010 - If we could get both Lms and Watts i'd let one of Radford and dowes go and keep the other on a one year deal.
Dowes 2010
Cusack 2010 Quota - To be released due to quota to be replaced with Watts or Lms

Hookers
Berrigan 2011 Quota

Lauaki 2011 Quota
Burnett 2011
Tickle 2010 - Two year extention

Loose Forward
Fitzgibbon 2010 Quota - One year extention
Washbrook 2011
Cunningham - On a full time deal
Whiting 2010 - cant decide on rich, he needs to get a regular position asap.

I think we still are Kings and Raynors salary under the cap so we should be able to afford them all.

100% keep whiting I would gladly offer him 2 year deal, the fact that we have no injuries this season and he has played every game shows how vital he is to the team.

Calderwood should be a 1 year deal at most, Lyne will be ready next season.

With Berrigan going at the end of 2011 I would give Houghton a 2 year deal.

Think we will keep Dowes and Radford both on a one year deal and sign a new prop.

Williams to be trained by Long, I have heard that Long already does a couple of sessions with teh young halfbacks already.

Yak and radders could depert for me and calders (only due to high wages and the amount of young backs coming through)

and would love to see scarsbrook and ratchford brought in. and for once a rovers player springs to mind in watts looks a good young prospect (pained to say!!).

3 year deal for Hall, why?

Easily our best centre and would be missed if he went......bigger Question though...Manu 1 yr extension...surely he must be worth 2 or 3.

I dont disagree, I just think 3 year contracts are dangerous.

Comfort zone....agree to a extent but 3 yr could also prove to him that we do want him.

totally agree comfort makes players lazy!!!

or on the flipside stability allows some players to prosper.

i guess only those close to them daily will know each mans make up!!
and that wasnt a dig at anyone playing for the Crusaders!!

Why does everyone have a downer on Yeaman he alongside Fitz,Manu,Tickle and Hall would be my priority, Yeaman may be greedy but he is our tryscoring machine and always runs very good lines and his tackling is good too. Fitz and Manu without question both very valuable. Would like to see Tickle stay but don't know whether he will, Hall is still raw and young but scores trys naturally so would give him a one or two year contract and Houghton another year too. I would consider releasing Moa if we could get a decent Aussie at the end of the year too, he is wasted on our overseas quota, don't get me wrong he is decent but still a waste. IMO.

rangi chase jamie lyons kris welhamin, berro cusack sam moa and calderwood to leave. that would be my choice

would give everyone else contracts to keep stability will have other young players knocking at door

Glad your not in charge , Jamie lyon just signed new contract at manly
