Perry is definately off contract, and I believe should be let go, that gives us another $240,000 to spend. I agree on Matt Gidley, he really has been a non performer for a couple of years, for a senior player he is noticably missing when the chips are down. Thaiday may surprise us at fullback. I was reading today that it's his fav position, and he's played his best footy there. People have been critical of his defence, but from what I've seen he's a better defender than some of our more established "stars" If he plays up to his reputation at fullback we may be looking to put Seage somewhere else,(he's off contract this year to I believe) Thaiday has speed, and could well be a livewire at fullback, a few games will tell us the answer. We definately need some spark in our dismal backline. I'd like to see Cooper given a run in the vacant centre spot. We are well served with some promising young backrowers, so I would like to see a couple of hard props signed, we definately missed the boat in that area last year with guys like Stringer, Cussak, and Webb available. Stringer and Cussak would have been fairly well priced I think. I would guess some forwards will become available again this year, so instead of sitting on our hands like last year I hope we go after at least one. A quality back is a must. I would also like to see the club give someone like Spiteri a run at being a shock type sub this season and see if he is up to it in first grade, he certainly is in the lower grade. That would add a new dimension(for us anyway) to our game. I'm surprised at the low amount available as well, I can only assume some money is being spent tying up some of our promising juniors.
