Looking at the players ooc this year, who would you like to retain, who would you let go and replace them with who.

Here is mine

Bureta Faraimo - keep

Fetuli Talanoa - go, Joe burguess replacement

Marc Sneyd - keep, however I think he will leave. Hastings replacement

Dean Hadley - keep

Mark Minichiello - go. Savelio replacement

Josh Bowden - keep

Chris Green - go. Fafita replacement

Danny Washbrook - go. Me replacement with Hadley and westetman

Sika Manu - go. Kenny Edwards

Jez Litten - keep

Mickey Paea - go. Pauli Pauli replacement

Jack Logan - go. No replacement

Cameron Scott - keep

Jack Sanderson - undecided

Joe Westerman - keep

Agree with a all of them but think your being a bit ambitious with the replacements when our chairman is tightening the purse strings, we need to recruit big but go a feeling with will go with run of the mill replacements.

Kelly's going back home by all accounts.

Hastings going home also so he won’t be signed

Edwards
Pauli Pauli
Fifita

Should all be targets. One plus an NRL forward to replace Manu and Paea.

Can't see us getting Burgess, but if stays I'd make a move for Marshall or Davies

Surely should be looking at Fifita but reckon most teams will . The kind of forward we need

Agree with all them but I can’t see us getting Fifita or Pauli Pauli, Wakefield seem to be a really tight group by all accounts.

I’d be surprised if we didn’t go in for Joel Thompson to replace Manu.

Fiifita and Hastings are out of contract end of season

Imagine Hastings and Connor as our halfbacks

Second row of fifties, savelio and Hadley/lane

Add in two decent props and we d have the makings of a good team

Connor will deffo be half back next year by all accounts.

Pearson has said he’s undecided whether it’s better going with a bigger squad or a smaller squad with higher earners (possibly with a marquee player)

Personally don’t think the bigger squad concept will work.
Not when, as now, we have injuries but the squad players aren’t getting picked.

Last years recruitment/ retention was poor, and we have an opportunity to put some of it right with so many players out of contract.

Just need to get Motu Tony back on a consultancy!

The worry is , we l be talking to players now in regards to next season, and with the rumoured purse strings tightening I don’t think we l fork out a salary for a recruitment specialist

Who made up the "rumoured purse strings tightening"??

It sort of snowballed from AP prog notes.

Hastings
Kenny Edwards
Mitch Aubusson
Mean fecker of a prop

Would be my shopping list

Looks good to me

Don’t think we’ll be tightening the purse strings as such

Bet we’ll still be up to full cap

I’d go with a squad of 28 and have as much quality as possible
Then draft in Academy players in emergency
Surely to goodness we have 18 year old men who can step up occasionally
R Horne was 16 at Leeds when he debuted

why dont you invest your winnings to help adamski out , the ones where you back rovers opponents when they lose and rovers when they win youve told us youve made a fortune,, you could be know as the fake investor

I think a poster made a good point the other day.
With AP in sole charge at FC, and Grudgell in sole charge at the Dobbins (and planning on making them self sufficient), I can see them possibly working closer together in the future.
Might not have a combined first team, but could share marketing departments, training facilities etc.
The money saved could be put towards opening some more Tribal restaurants...

both are buisnessmen the slight difference is hudgell is a supporter man and boy but he only puts so much in and sounds like for so long.pearson lined his pockets at hull city,and saw the potential to do it at fc unfortunately as we all know not a lot of prophit from rugby league ,rumoured to be interested in chipping in to buy derby county but only earsay at the moment

I have a beach house in Manly mate

we all believe you, honest.

It's a Peter Sharp gag.

do you pay rates on a sandcastle?

That was quite funny coming from a dobbin
