Well, based on how this season is travelling I consider these following options:
Renewed contracts:
Trimarchi, Galea, Hanbury and Morris.
I think Trimarchi, Galea and Hanbury have shown enough to at least make an effort to retain. I qualify that with noting the limited opportunities Trimarchi has had to show what he can / cant do. Morris- I reckon he is worth offering a renewed contract but not in the halves rather as a utility and on the understanding it will be mainly interchange meaning presumably reduced money. If he wants to go elsewhere he can.
Unknown:
Lazarus, Ayshford, Dunley, Tagive.
They have either been injured (Lazarus & Tagive) or unable to force their way past Sheens views (Ayshford & Dunley) and cant show what they can do. Making a offer for 2010 and beyond may have to be an act of faith or judgement call on whether to let them go.
Out- be gone!!!!!!!!
Collis (rumoured to already have signed with Canterbury), Payne (not worth commenting on), Halatau- can afford 1 x utility interchange and on the form shown Id go with Morris rather than Halatau.
If they are really serious about taps on shoulder Id also be letting McDonnell & Gibbs know they are on thin ice and playing for their continued contracts. Their form up to ¾ of the season will judge whether they will be released early and either shopped out / paid off.
Not that they will do anything with the coaching staff but Id be telling them the same as McDonnell and Gibbs.
So not much a clean out . But at least gives the possibility of promoting some of the achievers from State Cup and juniors and maybe target a key signing or two.
