I'd resign Newton were not going to get anybody better. What about playing Newton at loose and interchanging Godwin and Rinaldi at hooker. I dont rate Jamie Langley, the size of him he should be smashing opposing players but they jush crunch him every time, i'd have him on the bench and use him as a prop/2nd row.

Can't see that working, we need Newton at Hooker, he showed last night that he can see opportunities and take the defence on himself if he needs to.

Newton's a tough one he has to maintain the form he has at the minute to make it a worthwhile deal.

one year extension seems fair

Agreed, but when he is on form, and when you can tell his hearts in it -like yesterday- he is one of, if not the best Hooker in the league. Buderus my ar$e, what's he done this season

I suggest those who have been keen to jump on Newton's back may sometimes forget that he's been stuck with massive stints since Godwin was injured? And has obviously been playing with injuries himself.

I would image at the stage of his career Newton will be looking for one last contract in the region of 2 possibly 3 years I can't see him signing for a year.

Newton for me with another year, but he will probably be looking at a club that will offer2/3 year contract.The man is quality when he turns it on and we'de have to think long and hard to find an adequate replacement. SL is not abounding in spare hookers of his class.

As for new signings.. how about Lynch, Cook, Morrison, Menzies and Halley

Newton definitely needs at least another year. He's the best hooker in the club.

IMO we won't resign them all.

With the exception of Morrison and Beaver, I can see all of those guys wanting bigger salaries.

Think Jeffries deserves to be resigned. Has been one of our better players this season.

I understand Andy and the club have agreed terms and he has signed a long term contract.

In terms of new signings I would like to see a big impact prop being sought after.
