Gower on a year to year (so he never gets comfortable) ----> Either Vai or Sio (I'd lean towards Kenny)-------> Kelly (he's no superstar but a good solid half we can call upon if needed)

The rest I'm not fussed on-
Fui has been a great player and character for the club but it's time to put him out to stud ditto Smith
Paulo has bee more rocks than diamonds lately and we have so many good young 2nd rowers coming through I'd hate to think he may cost us one.
Folau is a meh for mine, he isn't going to make it as a winger in first grade long term and for mine we have better prospects coming through in the centres and 2nd row so I wouldn't be fussed if he left

Kenny Sio's a first grader but at 25 next year he's about as good as he'll ever be.

We have a couple of younger options with more potential, and who are probably cheaper as well.

we could lose all of them and i wouldnt care tbh.

But Gower is a decent bench prop and maybe Joseph Paulo if he accepts a paycut.

agree that we probably dont need to keep sio and i dont know enough about john folau to say if we should resign him yet.

With Morgan, Goodall, Faraimo and Toutai all on contract for next year we could lose Sio and Folau and still be good for outside backs.

One thing in Sio's favour if it becomes a close call is that he has been at the club for a while and in a couple of years would give us a third player eligible for long-standing player discounts, which might become relevant if Hayne / Mannah are not here in a few years time. That said, Mannah is probably here for good now.

With the talent coming through it would not phase me if we cut Sio. Above average player but it means making room in the cap then he can go IMO.

Cant believe guys want Gower over Paulo.

Gower is playing well but Algood-Alvaro-Tanginoa could do his job. Seph offers something different too any player we have.Gower is an honest toiler but if you think Seph would be holding back good juniors and Gower wouldn't be well.......

Sio wouldn't cost a lot. Question is are the young guys ready? I wouldn't break the bank too keep Semi.I think he will fade into the sun and SIo is a better player

Sio is our best winger at the club, should it matter who is coming through? It's not like Sio is verging on retiring. So he will be around for a while

Gower does a forwards job.
Personally the reason I don't think we need Sef to re-sign is because we have younger forwards who run harder then him, I don't think we really need Sefs ball playing as much as we need hard running forwards.

After Semi's explosive form early in the year his manager came out in the papers talking about how Semi needs his upgrade before November or he would start talking with other clubs for 2016, as if he is worth top dollar.

I want Radradra to stay but I want us to be paying overs for as few players as possible, and certainly not for a winger with big flaws in his game.
