| My humble opinion
Patton - either a back up hooker (he went ok) or has to improve as a SH. Will need to be replaced if he goes. K Brown has limited time left and we need hooker/half back back up. On balance - keep if he improves
Crosby - not sure...I like him. Very solid and great off the bench. but not enough game time atm. 1 year possibly
Westwood - one year renewal if he keeps going
M.Brown - solid but not special...cover for all backs...maybe 1 year..but look around
Livett ..has 12 months to make the shirt his. 2 year contract
In general you need 3 new players a year to keep a team fresh and developing...so which three would go and who would you bring in?
PS anyone noticed the lack of knee strapping in the team?

| Quota isn't a huge issue at the minute, we are at 5 with a max of 7.
Brown's versatility is a good thing to have, especially as we are seeming to run with a small squad size, I'd be happy to keep him on, but would rather sign an up and coming youngster to take the spot if I'm honest.
Crosby is well worth another two years, been impressed with him whenever he has played, good yardage after contact. Unlucky with injury, hopefully thats something that improves.
Westwood on current form is worth another year I think?
Patton..... I just don't know. Patton is ahead of Morgan Smith at present, but Smith seemed to have the better reputation when we brought him in - how has Smith performed when given the opportunity to play at half back in the reserves / U19's? Smith's form when given the opportunity could well influence what happens with Patton. I think Patton is worth another 12 months, maybe with a further 12 months with the clubs option to see how the Patton / Smith scenario pans out.
I'd like to see Patton have a few games now that we have a bit more structure to our attacking play - he could be much improved in that environment.
Livett could well earn his new contract in the next few weeks, he's coming up against some decent opposition in Wigan, Leeds & Hull, I'd keep him anyway, but his performances in those games could well influence the size of his deal.

| Rumour that Savelio wants to come home and we want him back. Could be the difference whether Crosby or Westwood stay (if true) know he has a season ending injury in the NRL but does have the skills and talent to be massive in the game. I'd be happy to keep Brown and Crosby, Patton I'm 50/50 on and Livett if he does well in an extended run in second row/loose forward will do him no harm

| One thing we can usually guarantee with Westwood is availability. He's a tough old player & unless he is banned is usually good to play.

| At the start of the season I thought this should be Westwoods last season and he would be a bit part player. Now, I'd just ask him to see if he thinks he can do one more year and leave the ball in his court unless we are desperate for cap space.
I do wonder whether he has decided this is his last season so he in going all out to make it a good one. He's been fantastic, I've already admitted I was wrong about him staying and am glad he is still here.
