Who are the players? Any idea? Also where's this rumour from?

Two names at the moment are Dave Tyrell and Jason Clark

I think most have contracts that will end this year and simply won't be re-signed.

I believe Aj and Sutto have been offered contracts

 

[Pommy]

Wasn't Clark resigned fairly recently,

Add Gray to that list.

I can't really see Clark being told to move on after we just re-signed him.

Tyrrell, Nielsen and a few others makes sense though.

Apparently Solly said we've got a bit to use so hopefully we exercise that and get a few top liners.

Oh right. I've heard that too, I thought you were talking about some other players.

I would get rid of Clark Tyrell Neilsen Kelly Goodwin Cherrington Rochow George B for starters. I would then look to acquire some promising young players other clubs eg Canberra Nth Qld Canterbury etc cannot afford to keep. George B is a controversial one but the fact is he has become a real liability helping the team to lose.

 

[Souths Till I Die]

Clark and Tyrell are most likely going to England if results don't improve. Since when have contracts ever meant anything in the NRL?

I wouldn't be surprised if Tyrrell just retires after this season because of his knees problems. I wouldn't mind keeping Clark though, as long as he isn't on too much more than the NRL minimum wage.

Minimum wage goes up to $125k.

Clark just resigned late last year. It'd be stupid to move him on. He does his job consistently, seems popular within the playing group, is a complete professional. It's not so easy to 'move a player to england' as the English salary cap is a lot lower comparatively to the nrl then it used to be and they have strict marquee systems. People say contracts are easy to break in modern nrl, but if a player doesn't want to go he doesn't have to, so unless he could somehow get a better deal somewhere else, moving him on would probably mean wed have to pay part of his contract like we had to for grant and mcqueen.

It would probably be a stupid thing to do as we have so many off contract players we could just choose not to resign plus there will be a cap increase.
Tyrell, Nielsen, Kelly, Rochow, Cherrington, one of Gray/Goodwin or even both and even Sutton are all off contract.

That's a good increase from this year's NRL minimum wage of $82,500.
