Now it is certain a new coach is coming the recruitment and retention for 2012 must start as soon as the new coach is announced.
These are the players off contract this year:
Matt Bell, Sandor Earl, Shane Elford, Yileen Gordon, Masada Iosefa, Daine Laurie, Nigel Plum, Adrian Purtell, David Simmons, Nathan Smith, Timana Tahu, Arana Taumata, Trent Waterhouse, Michael Worrincy
I honestly wouldn't mind seeing a mass clean out so we can free up some $$$. If Tahu continues to show improvement then keep him, Bell is good but only at his current price, same with Plum. The rest i am not too fussed about keeping.
I would like to see us approach Sika Manu as Waterhouse's replacement. Make plays for Ukuma Ta'ai and Andrew Fafita as replacements for Gordon, Smith, Laurie and Worrincy.
Unfortunately we have Walsh and Burns until 2013, if we can't release them we need a decent young half or 5/8 that won't be too expensive. Shaun Johnson, Jordan Rankin and Ben Hunt are all off contract.
Another cheap young outside back is needed too. I wouldn't mind Dane Gagai as a replacement for Earl and Simmons
