Goes back to the old saying.....better to lose a player one year too early than one year too late.
I would love for Grothe to go right now
He is on about 250k form reports of when we signed him...
That is to much for a winger IMO
Hayne and INU are both about 300-350K which is alright because these guys are more likely to play in the centres then on the wing. Grothe is a winger fullstop.
Reddy should be one winger, and we should either shop for an avg hard working winger (i liked J.Williams because defencivly solid, quick and stayed on his wing). Maybe a jnr player can come through and just play solidly, we have Hayne and Inu to do the magic outwide.
We have overspent for nto performing outside backs, and asmuch as Eric pushs forward... at peek of his powers he is not worth 250K.
Turner is nothing special and looks good because he does simple thing right, if we had Benny and Delany as our centres I would have no problems with Eric on that money because he would add speed. But with Inu, and Hayne he is covered in that area.
Let go grothe, and sign Williams. I disagree with HJ, don't blame Hayne or Inu, Grothe was the one that held the club to threats he was going to Rugby, Hayne and Inu said all along they wanted to be loyal.
Burt
(Etu/Jnr)/Inu
Inu/Benny
Hayne
Reddy
that still is one of the best backlines in the comp. Reddy has 8 tries to his name this year because he does the little things right. I wouldn't have minded keeping Lett for the wing, I would also back the releasing of Benny.
Let Eric and Benny off to England... and kept guys like Williams. I wont blame Cayless, Hindy, Hayne or Inu... Benny has been unlucky with injury but you cant expect to carry a guy for 2 years and have him eat up the cap. Hate to say it but he should never have been resigned (even as a backrower with our depth there)
