Which players would you actually keep?

As the title says, since there seems to be a clean out and players we are trying to move on, who from the current WT squad would you actually keep for next year?

I'm thinking Woods, Farah, Tapau, Brooks, Teddy. Any others?

Dunno about Farah............ been central to a few spats and his spark is long missong.

Moses. I reckon he looks like a great prospect. Simona is a great player. Nofo is up there. I'd also keep Naquiama who although he isn't great is a first grader.

I'm not sure about Brooks. I think Moses is the better of the two and he needs more ball but I also think Brooks is good.

I think Siro and Lovett may come good. I'd definitely keep Ava and possibly Sue and Lodge.

I don't think we need massive changes. I think we need a coach with some balls and some outside backs with some speed. Its our backline that is crud at this point. Tedesco is a gun. Simona is a gun. Nofo can be a gun. When you have Nofo and Simona our though we have next to nothing.

You have to consider moving him on don't you. He has lost that spark.

He wasn't responsible for that loss though was he? Also, who do we replace him with. We had f**king Brooks playing dummy half tonight. We have know that we would be without Farah for at least 3 games the entire season and there seems like there was no game plan at all to cope.

I would say that Brooks has been far better than Moses so far though. Brooks has far more trys and try assists I believe and a far better tackling technique.

Ummm we are WT's so basically pick the best players and the best prospects and get rid of them guys..and the ones that can prove they can be constantly shit sign them for at least 4 seasons.

Lovett is crap. One dimensional nothing nsw cup player. Wouldn't mKe any other squads 25.

Siro isn't being used correctly however yeah he is still dogshit.

Richards and Lawrence are currently our 2 worst players. I feel sorry for our halves when they have backs who most props would run down to work with.

Moses has seemed to go away from the Boring structure the last few weeks and looked good. When brooks plays straight he looks fine. Problem is neither have anything to work with and no momentum. They are at a crucical part of their careers and I'm seriously worried Taylor will cruel them for life.

I'm definitely not blaming Robbie for that loss but he has lost the spark that he once had.

I agree that Brooks has been better than Moses but I get the impression that Moses is the better of the two of them. Still I think Brooks can be a really good first grader. I think we are lacking speed out wide and a coach who has some idea rather than no idea. Fix those two areas and see how we go.

I'm not going to write off Lovett or Sirro yet but I basically agree with all of this.

Our outside backs are so poor. Simona is a great player. Lawrence should only be considered as a backrower and Richards should be punted.

Richards does try really hard but that isn't acceptable for a first grade winger. He needs to be able to score tries and finish half chances.

No momentum is accurate. Just to have someone any player tuck the pill under the arm and bend the line would be a start.

I'd f**k the coach off. The players would be unbeatable under a decent coach

Guys, we cannot talk about sacking the coach. Yes he doesn't seem to be doing a good job but ffs we can't just keep sacking coaches.

We need to sign better players and cut the plodders. Pure and simple.

From the FG team I would definitely keep:

Tedesco
Farah
Tupau
Woods
Brooks
Moses
Simona
Nofo
Sue

The rest can be moved on or kept as depth AS long as we have quality FGs to fill the gaps above. Two Back Rowers, A Centre and a Prop are needed
