Sometimes there are certain players you just have to keep and from a Fax perspective i believe that we always look at Smith as the main threat to us when we play you. However, Widnes have done a great job with the youth and maybe your board could be looking a season ahead to the likely scenario of SL so that they can save a few bob until its needed.
This could be part of the problem, as perhaps they will only be handing out one-year contracts to some players, with a view to ensuring that they can just release all the players they don’t want in 2012 (should Widnes get a licence) and thus have the maximum amount of room under the cap to recruit the best possible team for SL. I can see why some players may reject a one season contract and look elsewhere for a better deal.
Of course I’m only guessing here.
