Timan Tahu
Eric Grothe
Glen Morrison
Mark Riddell
Tim Smith

i'd say Mark Riddell & Glenn Morrison

Morrison's my favourite player but i picked him because out of that list he's the oldest

Riddell can be replaced with either Marsh/Morris

Are we over the cap because of Lyons payments. If so release him to keep Tahu. If he is comming back NOW to honour the contract Release Tahu.

Morrison is great so is Riddell. I'd have to say Morrison the other given the depth in that position.

I'd go Morro & Tahu as good as they are. The others would give more bang for the buck!

How long have we lacked a traditional halfback. Tim stays.

We should have learnt the first time. Guru stays

Riddell in the side allows us to use our bench the way we do. That is our greatest strength as a team. Riddell stays.

Tough call, & people have been giving it to Smith/fitzy for years for the clubs retention policy. Fancy doing this for real every year!

Yes but they are already in the 1st 17. who then replaces them & how do the new team combinations play out?

if Morris goes to hooker, i'd put maybe feleti Mateo or even Marcus Perenara there at 5/8th

if Marsh goes into hooker i'd have James Storer on the bench

I was hoping to watch a bit of Mateo for the Broncos but saw nothing. How'd he go over there?

The thing is with this Timana and Grothe are in the positions that have the most talent coming through. Ben Smith, Brett Delaney, Luke Burt and Jarred Hayne with Joel Reddy available as well as mckinnion, those would be the positions with enough depth to cover.

In saying that if we have kept Drew Dalton, you could find Piggy out of the club, but I don't think so.

As much as I hate saying this...

My two players would be Tahu and Grothe.

I would have chosen Riddell in Grothe's place, but Scott Jones left - so he's out of the equation.

Morrison is too vital to our pack at the moment to leave out.

Tim Smith is the best halfback in the game. :D

And we could replace Tahu with Delaney and possibly Davis and Grothe with Williams and Inu.

Morrison because we have enough depth to cover the back row and Tahu for a similar reason. The others should stay because they can all add something to the side that no other player can replace.

Is the twist that Jamie Lyon is the reason we are over the cap?

These twist are a treat. Everytime I think I know what it is POW! I get it shut right down. What could it be?

Tommorrow I guess!

Have you ever come up with one but had to change it because someone thought they worked it out?

no! not out to rack anyones brain, just setting a non reallistic scenereo of hypotheticals and interested to see what direction people take, one thing about this, is that no one's right or wrong but it does bring up some spirited discussion which we can have over the off season.
