I no DM has said its his last year but I think we all no he will miss a fair few games. Yes we all know the quality he has and I hated the guy with a passion UNTIL he pulled on a rovers shirt then I thought wow. But didn't we all think what I did?? So after the amount of games he did miss last year which with injuries all players can miss and take into account his age, I personally would (here we go were I get slammed) pay him off and give Drinkwater his money and more if needs be and offer a 3 or 4 year contract. But if we can sign Drinkwater and keep DM then hey yeah that's absolutely brilliant. We all know we need another HB to start playing alongside Atkin for future seasons. So I would push the boat out to do this. I don't want to sound nasty towards McGuire but we have to think beyond even next season.

Surely you haven't spent the full cap? Why would you pay DM off when you can just keep him and pay him that money?

We have cash available on Cap, But I can see the logic of paying a high salary off for a player who will most probably only play half the season and spend it on a player who we could get most of the season on the field.

I would suggest that paying off DM isn't a great solution at all. We don't need any cap space as we arent using any of the marquee allowances and we likely will not be at full cap.

If we work on the assumption that DM wants half or more of his contract paying up to move off the books, surely the sensible solution is retain him and sign another half back to work alongside both him and Atkin for the season until he retires. This is also seems to be how the club sees it too from what they have said regarding recruitment.

I’d take drinkwater, think he’s do a decent job like dobbo did getting us round the pitch. Problem is long term I see that been Atkins position. Wouldn’t be surprised to see us sign a 6 with a running game, like a Blake green. Who that is I’m not sure but I think we might pull a rabbit out the hat here.

Either way pretty happy if we sign one of these higher calibre half’s

We need another half. I think to "pay off" DM would be bonkers.. He is still quality and a game changer. The issue we have is if one or more of our halves gets injured, which will probably happen at some point. In crucial positions we need an option, not a player who is not a half standing in for long spells, that,s a potential killer. Admittedly Blair did well, but he has gone. To get rid of one to bring another in would leave us in exactly the same position numbers and risk wise. Get another player who actually plays in that position. Horses for courses and all that. We must have proper cover.

So we pay off a world class player and then have to find two half backs I’ve never heard such a ridiculous suggestion in all my life

I agree 100 percent.
Thank goodness some on here aren't in charge of making the recruitment decisions. icon_smile.gif

Id like to see us go for Drinkwater but not at DM's expense though.
Now we know that Maguires hanging his boots up at the end of next season were gonna be in the same boat again looking for another halfback.
DM, Drinkwater and Atkin for this season would be great, and then maybe scour the championship for a younger project for the year after would be good.

Jordan Rankin from Huddersfield would be a good choice as he could cover at full and in the half

As he’s not great at either position what a waste of a quota place that would be

Drinkwater or Rankin would fit the bill for this season.
I think your "young project" may well be Will Dagger once Quinlan is fit.
Also the way some are taking about Micky Lewis, he could be starting to knock on the door.
Even if only 18 by then.
