Personally think Sao wouldn't be a bad option for SR as his work rate is fantastic, good defence and isn't a plodder when on the move. That said Mau is quality so would need to replace him with another of similar quality. By the sounds of it the club want to bring in younger players and sadly Mau is not deemed young enough to get a 2 yr deal which for me is the sensible way to go by the club.
Radford signing Edwards at 33 next season for another 3 years is an example of the type of deals that didn't help us at all.
As for Hoy I just wonder if he'll come predominantly as a FB or HB, I think Connor would excel in the halfs if given a free roaming role but then we'd need an organising half to compliment Connor in that role and not sure Truman is that type of player or has it in him to be the organiser on the field.
Sao played second row against Leeds early this season due to injuries and I seem to remember and did a very good job. I would prefer to see him in at prop or even a third middle. Someone on here said he had already signed for Cas which I find hard to believe.
If we offered Ma'u one year plus another year option in our favour I'd be happy with that.
Edwards three years deal is utter madness!
Connor will end up in the halfs sooner or later but as you say he needs an organiser to compliment him. I thought Gale would play that role.
