If money was no object, in the halves i would have, Lockyer and Cooper - Cronk with Slater at FB

in our current squad, the people who i would keep would be:



Richard Horne



Craig Hall (Needs to be coached well)



Gaz Raynor



Mark Calderwood - Give him chances he will score



Yeaman - Needs a good SH to send him through the gaps



Ewan Dowes - Faultless IMO good hard grafter and can pull off a good tackle.



Richard Whiting - Injury prone yes, but IMO i think hes class in the right position.



Danny Washbrook - Needs good runners and needs his SO to be playing so he can go back LF.



Sam Moa - Looks a very good prospect with good fitness and more game time could prove to be very good.



Jamie Thackray - I'd keep him, he brings some good impact from the bench, but needs to run straight!.



Maloney - Hmmm, i would keep him, looks good and could prove to be very good.



Danny Tickle - Good runner and good kicker.



Willie Manu - Need i say why?



Shuan Berrigan - With good HB's and the pack on top, he comes alive and can change a game in an instant, top class.



Paul King - He can sometimes drift out of games but, he has aggression and passion (sometimes) and in the recent derby he was outstanding IMO.



Houghton - Good player, with the guidance of Berrigan he come a class act. And he brings speed.



Tom Briscoe - What a prospect for the future, hard to tackle and always looks to make a break.



So i think we need a Full Back, Scrum Half, Centre, Second Rower and maybe a prop and a utility player.

weve got about 20 of em already

I would rid ourselves of



Thorman (no good)

King (had his day and thanks)

Motu (injuries)

Cusack (end of contract)

G Horne (not up to it)

Washbrook (either play him or don't)



Borderline



Thackray

Hall

Lee

Moa

Yeaman

4. Kirk Yeaman

5. Gareth Raynor

6. Danny Washbrook

7. New Signing (Matt Orford please)

8. Ewan Dowes

9. Shaun Berrigan

10. Hame Luaki (if he comes)

12. Mike Burnett

13. Richard Whiting



14. Willie Manu

15. Sam Moa

16. Dominic Maloney

17. New Signing/Danny Houghton/Tommy Lee



G Horne isn't good enough imo, however I wouldnt be too annoyed if he iskept as a squad player.

Tickle can stay or go for me, again he's okay but not good enough for a top class team.

Undecided about King and Thacks, on their day they are great but their days are few and far between atm.

I think Motu and Cusack will be leaving anyway, however I would keep Motu if he gets over his injuries properly.

Thorman should go

I really don't know about Hall, maybe keep him and send him out on loan to develop his game and get abit of confidence.

No idea about Reardon yet.

Radford okay to cover back row and prop but shouldnt be starting every week if we are fully fit.

Yeah, because he's lazy, keeps dropping the ball and never comes over to applaud the East Stand at the end.



Get a grip.

That one made me laugh, get rid of a guy who is still to play a game for the club but keep Hall who quite frankly as become a liability. I admit he is not a fb but catch a ball is a basic skill especially for a back.

I didnt realise it had been three days since the last "who would you keep" thread, how time flies!

Hes been one of our better players this season and i think hes our top try scorer with 5, people seem to forget hes still only 23
