We need to be business minded about this.

Out of that lot I would only be keeping Aloiai, Garner, Gamble, Mikaele, Smith and Thompson.

The rest can all f**k off, Madge can take their money and buy his team.

I would be tempted to throw the chequebook at King Gutho

The dude is all class and probably the main reason Parra is 3/4 so far this year. If he didn't suffer that acl injury which set him back I reckon he'd be on the verge of origin by now

He would be a good pick up but just about every team will be after him..

Can’t imagine he would come here..

MCK can stay too... he is cheap and at worst good depth..

Gutherson would be an awesome signing. However the time to approach him would have been last year when he was coming back from injury and playing behind Hayne.

His asking value has increased massively this season (but would still be worth every penny).

The Cowboys would have to be another serious contender for Gutho's John Hancock now that Holmes has been signed by the NY Jets.

That is pretty much what i would do as well.
The Gambler has been here 2 years and only 1 first grade game.
Hes probably better to move on.
I agree with Taylor and McQueen,move them on if possible...Thats 9 free spots to fill for 2020.
I read we are looking at the Jamal Idris lookalike from the Dogs.
That would mean bye bye Fonua i would think.
We also need to lock up Jock Madden who is also off contract this year.

I'm really interested to see who Madge moves on and who he keeps. I still haven't quite worked out what Madge's style is (please give me your two cents) but i'm liking what I'm seeing

Yes, me too, that dressing room spray from the other week shows (to me anyway) that he is simply about winning and he takes the attitude, perform or perish.
We needed this many season ago. The future looks good.

He talks a lot about using the individual styles of the players.

He has said it a few times. Not deeply, more mentioned it.

Maybe his style is to make the most of the players styles, which to me, is ultimate coaching.
