Could a administrator or moderator make this topic a "Sticky" I feel as though it may come to some good use during the season, and when the June 30 deadline gets closer.

Thank-You in advance

I was going to say! it's way to early to be making those sort of predictions.

 

[Utey]

I mean seriously. Who knows what could happen.

 

[AlexTheEel]

I think the club will keep whoever is in form and let go who they think are no longer required. definately too Early to say before a ball was even been kicked in 05.

I believe Peterson may be going to Perth to play union

It's hard to say yet as some players tend to play a lot better when contracts are up.
At this early point though i'd like to see Grothe, Widders and Afamasaga stay 8)

Peterson did express interest but he has no done any nogotiating.

Tim Smith is Off contract as well this year.
Yeah it may be too early for this season but judging by last few seasons- And the money that they are most probably on.

Michael Vella NO 220K
Daniel Wagon NO 150K
John Morris NO 180K
Eric Grothe YES
Matt Peterson NO 100K
Dean Widders YES
Chris Muckert NO 150K
Luke O'Dwyer NO 50K
Jack Afamasaga - This kid is good and he is agro too.
Matthew Nicholas - Haven't seen him play

So if we don't re-sign these players we will have at least 850k free to spend on younger guys and probably jag another 1-2 top liners.

Tim Smith is off contract this year, If he does prove himself this year in 1st grade he would be wanting some money.

If I had to make a prediction it would be that widdo will become top priority.

Widders has been off contract the last few years actually. One year deals seem to work well with him because he knows he cant let his weight become an issue.

Lets keep the premiers all together for 2006 8)

[PJ Marshal]

My tip is Morris will leave

 

[ParraMatt]

Keep Morris, Grothe and Afamasaga.

Piss the rest off.

 

[MrT]

Morris will most definately leave, infact I wouldn't hold him, he's excess to our needs now, we have Riddell, Marsh and Henderson to cover hooker. PJ can play half and we also have Smith, Perenara and Green for 2006 in those positions.
I would like to see Afasamaga given a run in the top grade, the more he plays along side guys like Hindy and Morrisson the better he'll develop

 

[dazeely]

O'Dwyer might be a surprise packet this year providing he stays injury free. Not much has been said about him but watch out for this kid. Chalkie will make every chance he gets a winner. ;-)
