Contracts = Not worth paper they are written on.

Though they can easily be got out of by either side the vast majority of players see there contracts out, whats more i've heard no suggestion that either widders or the club want to part ways.

I dont think its a case that matterson hasnt been picking him when fit, and i have no doubt whne he returns (hopefully this week) he will be in the squad, ryan clayton is unlikley to keep him out.

We need a standoff,would like Danny Orr back.
Motu Tony can cover both our problem positions,fullback and standoff.
Let Wainwright,Evans,Neatherton,Clayton go.
I would like Gilmore from that list too.
I really don't understand TM sometimes,we finally find a position were McGoldick excels and then he weakens the side by playing him somewhere else.

Very much agree about orr, but if we can afford him is another matter. Would personally let ford go before wainwright, evans has been great for us scoring tries and basically holding the defence up on that side vurtually single handed, netherton has been a very good signing to, when he is spelled with hudson he brings alot to our attack, he's also a young british talent that will continue to improve over time. If we did get orr we could have orr/shifty in the halves and hudson/netherton at hooker with chase to fill in in either position due to form and injuries. We will never become a top team with out at least 5 players to fill thses 4 positions. Agree that goldy is best used at fullback, tm has been forced to play him in the halves to an extent, though personaly i would play westy there.

That would be the ideal option someone like eastmond or myler, but i cant see it happening, we have brierly and thompson coming through for the standoff position in the future but we may have to buy in 7's for a few years.

Would love to see lynch and gilmore coming to the jungle.

Ben Black from Fax would be a good signing.
