Quotas Next Season : Mon May 18, 2009 5:13 pm  

Who exactly are we going to lose next season?

If we are keeping David Howell and Chad Randall, and Temata and Heckenberg looked really strong yesterday.

Luke Dorn is too important to us and so is Matt Gafa

Who could we get rid of?

It doesn't matter who you think is playing well, you can only 'get rid of' players out of contract. So pick from ....

Maybe none of them will need to go.

Who is out of contract because for me if he is Daniel Heckenberg would have to go because he always seems to get injured a little too much. But I remember him getting an extension not so long ago.

But when he has played this year he has been outstanding!

I know but I can't think of anyone else

Hecks has really played well when he has played. He is a damned good prop for us and not just this season. However, he has had some bad injuries and I don't think his contract goes beyond this season. I know we have to lose two but whoever goes is going to be difficult to replace on a quality for quality basis.

I'm not sure that we do have to lose two. I think that if a player was already here before these new regulations were introduced then they don't apply to him.

Nothing to do with the length of his current contract I believe.

Quote from Gutterfax at the recent forum

Players:
We will need to drop 2 from our overseas quota next year (unless the goalposts move)

But the club's own summary of the forum (can't find it at present) said that the quota would not be an issue for us next season.
