I think Rovers are doing the right thing. With the quota reducing further clubs need to be careful with their contracts for overseas players. If he performs like he has doen then during the season he will probably get offered a contract. If his form is indifferent then the club may choose to look at other options. They may already be doing that and could have a younger option lined up. Rovers are probably just keeping their options open which would seem wise.

Agreed, with have to reduce wether we want to or not as the rules state over the next few seasons, can see Webster leaving also.

If you could tempt Hall to move when his contract expires, especially if we mess him about again this season, then I could see him replacing Webster and therefore giving Morgan an easyish option to reduce one quota spot straight away.

pretty sure hes OOC at end of 2010 season isnt he?



ps. lego batman...............

That will deffo be happening.

Yep, I agree.

He has been a huge member of the squad an invaluable at times.

I would like to see what Ratu can offer us first.

What Hall moving fullstop or moving to Rovers?

I kind of think it depends on what happens this season. If Hall gets a centre spot and plays like he did at the back end of last season he could have a cracking season and stay. If he underperforms or gets messed around then I could see him wanting away.

i think Hall is a good player & if given the chance will blossom for you next season.

nothing wrong with making Galea play for a new contract IMO.

With the quota coming down, giving Galea or Webster a deal now, kind of tells the other they aren't wanted. Cooke and Walker will also be playing for new deals. Thought has to be given to age and quota status (problems for Galea), as well as quality of their performances (where Galea leads this little field at the moment).

Both will leave at the end of the season, as will Cooke and Walker unless they accept reduced contracts

Im inclined to agree with you.

With Vella, Lovegrove & Fisher exempt anyway, 2011 season we'll only have 5 quota spots. 3 of them will already be taken up with Clinton, Dobson & Newton, we'll only have 2 others and it would probably be best to try and get a couple of marque signings on 2/3 year contracts rather than giving a one-year extention to a 32 year old.

It's best to see how he goes this season and see how things pan out in terms of which NRL players are coming off contracts.

I think that it's good for SL as a whole that the quota comes down to 5 cos that means clubs will recruit quality rather than quantity and that in turn will help bring on the youngsters getting their chance as the academy quota increases in turn.
