Why the hell do people want rid of whiting? never mind grouping him with G Horne, hes a class above. He would be a massive loss to this side.

Get rid of Whiting - completely bonkers!
We need top class competition for all places and don't let any of them feel comfy in their roles. That's a lot of our trouble, injuries strike but ordinary 'joe's' get a good run becauese we lack class in depth. There will be injuries again next season and all these players will get their fair share of gametime and none of them will want to miss a game - keep em on their toes!
Oh, and sign big Sam if we can now Manu's off quota hopefully.

We don't need another overseas signing !!! Give the last quota spot to Big Sam now then bring in a good British SO/centre like Stefan Ratchford or Ryan Atkins.

If we had the ability to pull off something similar to that, I would be very happy with next years squad.

OUT : Motu, Lee, G Horne, Thorman, Tickle, King, Thackray, Byrne, Whiting

IN : O'Meley, Fitzgibbon, Tansey, Lauaki, Turner, Long, Ratchford/Atkins

RETAIN : Moa, Maloney, Cusack

That would be a fantastic off-season of recruitment and our squad would be well capable of challenging at the very top of SL.

Atkins wouldn't work, I rate him but he's Yeaman mk. 2, if we are going to sign another centre we need someone more creative. That said, I don't even think centre is a priority, I'm perfectly happy with Yeaman/Hall/Briscoe battling it out for the two spots.

I really think we could be on to a gem with this kid. Thing is, no one really knows how good he is, not even himself and if those 'whispers' are true, then a two year deal would help him develop no end - lets hope.

Totally agree.

At this moment in time would rather get rid of Richard Horne and keep Whiting. Time to play him in his proper positions also.

And if we let Sam Moa go whilst keeping Cusack then i must be watching a different sport to our coaching staff
