States in Sunday news today that all this retirement talk is rubbish and he fully intends seeing out his contract til the end of 08

I'd rather he played the rest of this year out and then went into some sort of management role next year.

But hey, who am I to tell him what he should do.

Hmm I have the utmost respect for the guy but I don't know if this is the best thing for the club. It would free up a lot of money and allow Sammy and Evarn to continue on their road.

I don't know. It is a lot of money and apart from the leadership aspect I am not too sure how much he has brought to the club in the last season while Evarn and Rapira are coming on leaps and bounds and are surely playing better football.

Then you only have to look to Packer and McDade in Premier League and you could say we have ample cover.

He needs some time out to sort out his injury problems. If he can start putting in his usual efforts after that then i'd be happy to see him stay on.

I also think he should wait till seasons end and hang up the boots. He is now number 4 prop in the pecking order and with the way Evarn and Sam have progressed, it would be right for Wiki to retire and give a bench spot to a young prop Packer/McDade.

With our Prop production line impressive its imperitive we develope some ball playing 2nd rowers and that should be our focus in the off season

I think the lure of 300 games and being the 1st kiwi to hit that mark may keep him going.

I hope he comes right, I would hate the last season of a legend like him to be poor and put a slight tarnish on the previous 13
