Tai= no

Wrench = unsure he as had bad luck with injury but even when fit I have been concerned with him defensively.
Crowther: Would have no issues with him staying, but as he is not first choice 17, I wouldn't want him blocking the way of a youth product should one emerge who looks the part. Green? Whitehead? Not sure on either of them yet mind.
King: I'd be ok with him staying, on a much reduced contract. Hoping that he will be shifted to the right and Lindop can be first choice on teh left. But if an opportunity arises to bring in better, we should be looking at it.
Musgrove: Can go for me - first couple of months of next year will be important for him. Dependable enough but not having a big enough impact for me - could you better with teh quota spot and salary cap I think.
Powell: Unless there is a younger option available he'd be great for another couple of years I think. His game isn't based around speed, so he'll be playing for a couple of years yet I think, even though he's 32.
Ratchford, 37 next year, be amazed to see him play to 38. Time for others to take his place in the Squad (Wrench)
Tai: Solid defensively but doesn't offer enough threat going forward. I'd be looking to move him on.
Vaughan: Big couple of months, think the club has made a wise choice not renewing yet. His stats were down last year, he needs to show he can get back up to previous standards if he's staying. (I know what your opinion is Duckie!)
Wrench: Keep, good cover and needs some game time, fallen behind Lindop in the pecking order though.
