Calderwood - I'd give him a new 1 year deal on reduced wages if he doesn't get injured again this season and plays in at least the last 10 games
Yeaman - 2 year deal for me, still a good centre
Whiting - 2 or 3 year deal, very valuable to the squad
Hall - 2 year deal, would be first choice centre for me
Lyne - 2 year deal, got potential, send him on dual registration
Tuffour - 1 year deal, back up winger

If Calderwood doesn't meet the requirments then I'd sign an up and coming, British winger such as Richard Owen or Will Sharp. Also a half back to be understudy to Long would be good, either Williams or Nicklas from the U20's or sign someone like Stefan Ratchford or Matty Smith. These two would be good as they both have good kicking games and can cover other positions so should get game time else where.

1 Tansey
2 Calderwood or Owen, Sharp, etc.
3 Hall
4 Yeaman
5 T. Briscoe
6 Horne
7 Long

1 J. Briscoe
2 Lyne
3 Whiting
4 Turner
5 Tuffour
6 Nicklas or Ratchford
7 Williams or Smith

Yep Washy waits while the weekend whereas Westerman puts a shift in midweek.

Not sure on fitz. Think he's been great but would be looking at who to fill our last quota place with. Unless hall is going to be 1st choice centre then I'd only keep one of him and whiting

I reckon hall would be able to get a decent amount elsewhere

How about a backline in 2011 of:

1. Whiting / Tansey
2. Lyne
3. Yeaman
4. Hall
5. Briscoe
6. R Horne / Turner
7. Long / Tansey

Looks pretty good that.

Don't think Lyne is anywhere near ready, dual registration deal would be a huge benefit to him first.
