I think so yes. Byrne and Crocker are two spaces plus we don't know what is happening with Cusack and Tony.

I would give Tony until the end of June to prove he is worth another contract.

If he is not injury free for the rest of the season I would get shut, either way he will come under the 'Stanley Gene rule'.

Didn't Laukai (or whatever) take Byrne's spot?

Still take up a decent ammount of the salary cap, dont think we can afford to wait until later in the season to make a decison on him. Our main 2010 recruitement (Overseas) should be completed by the end of July IMO.


So far next season we have:

Berrigan
Fiztgibbon
Manu
Hame

Signed on, so we potiantially have 3 more spots is this correct.

THE chance to continue playing with the Sea Eagles’ next generation and building on the club’s incredible success over the past two years could see champion Manly half Matt Orford remain at the premiers beyond this season. The Manly Daily understands Orford is leaning towards staying at Brookvale until the end of the 2011 season. http://manly-daily.whereilive.com.au/sport/story/young-guns-fire-ox/

Yer, forgot bout Dykes. Suppose Crocker came in Sing's place but now Fitzy replaces Crocker........

I have just heard also, that Orford is pretty much done deal...... No winks/links/sources....... just a strong rumour!! Possibly to be announced Friday/Monday!!
