I know he sold his house in Cas and moved to another house in Cas. Unless he's renting the new one. Having said that he's just bought a brand new motorbike as well. He was also spending time decorating the new house.

Be strange to move into a new house and decorate if he wasn't staying in the area.

Even then it will be on a lower contract than he's on now. Personally, I think he'll go back to Oz on his own terms and perhaps go play lower grade with someone like Dorny where there's less demand on his body. Think we could free up around £150k here along with retaining Shenton and Cook, enough for two more players or a decent replacement for Roberts.

It will be interesting to see whether we keep Massey too.
Been thinking that since early in the season. Would imagine we will retain him as a squad player.

Im a Massey fan always does the hard work rarely misses a tackle or drops the ball tends to win the floor for a quick play of the ball underrated player as he doesn't do the flash stuff.

Powell did an interview last year where he basically said he doesn't care what anyone thinks about Massey, he does exactly what he asks of him and rates him highly

Massey is the best forward we have for finding his front and playing the ball quick in my opinion. He does a specific job and is bl00dy good at it. He gets told where we want to play the ball on the next tackle, he goes there, finds his front, plays the ball quick and then its over to the others to do what they should do from that platform. Thats all he is paid to do. Fair enough he can’t do a lot else, but he isn’t there to do much more. Plus, he’s fairly solid in defence. Very underrated.

No Springer again in 19. Not aware that he's injured so to me that says he off end of year.

Springer, QLT, Webster to go

Bring this guy in

Back line of
Coote
Minikin
Mata’utia
Shenton
Eden
Gale
Trueman

Should still have room for another prop then

Think Springer is injured.

Coote is a well established NRL full back. Would be the right direction if we plan on bringing someone in that matches or surpasses Hardaker. Thing with Lachlan is that even though he's strung together a few seasons without severe injury he has had multiple bad long term ones in the past including ACL. If we're rumoured to be after Mark Kheirallah for the second time then the likelihood of going for Coote is very slim but it's such a vital role within the squad it's in my option that it shouldn't be scrimped on.

If we we're to enquire about another prop Craig Kopczak seems the type of player that would instantly work well for us and our squad. Although 32 at the end of the year...

It would be in the right direction though. A better direction then Q who has seemed to try his best. We were truly spoilt with Zak weren't we. Don't think we'll even try for Coote he'll demand a ridiculous wage.

If Webster, Q, Springer and Roberts go what about...

Kheirallah (Wells seems to really want him)
Lineham (Rumoured a couple of times for us this season)
Mata'utia
Shenton
Eden
Trueman
Gale
Watts
McShane
Kopzcak‎ (would fit in well with the squad and would allow for a better rotation of the pack)
Holmes‎
McMeeken
Milner


Foster
Millington
Moors
Sene-Lefao‎‎



Reserve's Squad:
Turner
Gill
Minikin
Egodo
Clare
Ellis‎
Aston
Cook
Butterworth
Clark
Massey‎
Wardle
O'Neill

Maher
Storey
Douglas
Carr

I feel even without another prop in the sqaud if Wardle doesn't book his ideas up he will be a costly back up player. I know injury hasn't helped him at all, hopefully next season he'll produce.

I think myself when you think of the numbers some of the players will get it will be the squad with the greatest depth hopefully there will be a couple more good signings to come as well
