Who goes and stays will be determined largely by whether there is anyone better available and willing to come and who compliments the balance of the team. Having a predetermined view on those to get rid of and/or signing players just because there's no one else is a recipe for disaster and pushes the prospect of having a squad capable of challenging further and further away. The best thing about Gentle is that he seemingly understands that and is constantly planning for the future whilst still able to get the best out of the guys in situ.

Did AP not say we were looking to recruit some young future internationals ? ....I hope he did very good recipe for a successful future that, and Gentle certainly appears to be the man to bring the best out of youngsters.

Pitts is hopefully the start of a long line ofm young upcoming / potential future international players we bring in, for far too long now we have been as a club hell bent on fixing the issue there and then instead of steady repair from grass roots upwards thus sorting future sucess as well.
it would be fair to say i havent felt this good about the club since Smith was with us,
in AP,bomber & PG we trust!

Don't think O'Meley is a PG style of prop, so I think he'll be allowed to leave. I don't think Moa is either tbh, but he gives us a lot of impact so on that basis I think Gentle will want to keep him, so it's up to Sam.
My order of preference for new deals for the others would be:
Manu
Whiting
Sharp
Turner
Aspinwall, although I think he's likely a sacrifice we need to make for Ellis financially.
Martin, with Arundel coming I don't see us offering a deal.

Maybe Briscoe will go this year? Not sure, think he'll see out his contract which means Crookes will likely be back up when he signs.

briscoe going would depend on the willingness of another club to pay a transfer fee as he is under contract
