"Get rid". Very disrespectful to a player who has been a great servant to the club.

This is basically it

Fans on here wanted shaul out

He's offered more than Carlos

Carlos is solid but never spectacular ie never talked about as best centre in the league

I'd rather keep Carlos and get rid of you.

Keep a player who is injured most of the season and is now behind Sutcliffe and Scott based on performances and on a high wage

Makes sense......

For me at least this is a squad i'd like to see:

Walker
Tindall
Sutcliffe
Carlos
Mcintosh
Hoy
Trueman
Ashworth
Nu Brown
Ese'ese
Scott
Okunbur
Sao

Pele
Brown
Houghton
Cator

I get the feeling that Scott would transition better into Second Row then Carlos, Scott appears to get bigger and stronger every pre season so a full pre season focused on this position could see him excel there.

I would like to see Sao at 13, his original position when we had signed him. He has the engine and the skill to play in this position and offers much more then the likes of Cator or Fash.

We actually have the luxury of options with our spine, Walker at FB is probably a certainty. Hoy and Trueman I could see been a decent partnership, with Trueman taking more of the reigns and Hoy using his kicking game. Although he will probably wear the number 7 next season I would like to see Nu Brown in at hooker with the likes of Houghton/Smith/Balmorth spelling for him off the bench. It's an extra creative player on the pitch and his selection for the NZ squad proves this is most likely his favoured position.

Overall, this squad is far from the best we've had in recent years. But what it does have is options which makes it exciting. Having said this, I still think we are a SR and a top class winger away from been a shoe in for the top 6. 7-8th is a realistic position to reflect the squad. However find some form and luck we could get up the top half of the league.

Pretty much spot on for me can't disagree with this team I thnk generally that's how I'd go too.

God help us this season if that’s our best bench , no impact or size whatsoever!

You can't just move people on, you have to pay off, probably looking at 2000k plus to pay him off and bring in a replacement
