Lachie only a one year contract? Phew.

 

[Troy]

Was just wondering about this today, nice one.

Quite a few re-signing's in the news over the Padt few weeks for other teams, I'm guessing/hoping we'll hear more when they return from NZ

Why the hell does Ben Daley have such a long contract?

 

[tigerland12]

Cooper, Feaui-Sautia, Tapuai and Quirk should be priorities.

And yes Quirk, he has been underrated all year, and he is perfect foil for a dynamic number 8, just not the under-performing Shatz. Quirky will only get better with age.

 

[GaffaCHinO]

You mean we have to go through the quade will he won't he crap again......

 

[gel]

Toua for 2015.... Aww gees.

I feel for the guy and admire the reds sticking with him through thin and thinner but he is just one long injury. Surely the reds can't possibly believe that next year is going to any different to the previous 4.

We can exhume the corpse of the last thread and put a bit of makeup on it, it'll look real purty.

Seems like a huge beat up!

James Horwill - 2013 Forever - legend.

Toua has so far to come to justify any other extensions on his contract that I just don't see it happening. He's dangerous with ball in hand..when it stays there, but that's really all he has going for him. He's so visibly deficient in vital areas of what makes a good 15 that it really hamstrings us to have him there.

We need to really start going to Mogg (when is his contract up?) unless some other gun 15 hits the market.

 

[Jets]

Heard a few of the squad will be off to France next year. Time for a bit a of a reshuffle in my view.

So possibly the likes of Holmes, Faingga Twins, Davies, Lucas?

I think it's time as well. As good as these players have been for us through the years, for some it might be time to search for other opportunities.

Would be hard to see Holemsie go though, great Reds player. Hopefully he stays around and helps blood Parraka and Kite.

 

[RugbyReg]

nah, let Holmesy go and earn some Euro before he becomes a fireman.

Deserves to earn some dosh considering his loyalty.

 

[Jets]

Don't think he has any interest in playing overseas unless there is a great fishing spot near by.

 

[Ash]

Holmes has always stated he's a one club man. He deserves the money, but I wonder if he'd be happy to go back to the farm once his playing days edit: at the Reds are over.

 

[Aussie D]

How long does Richard Graham have on his contract? Will that have any impact on players staying or going?

 

[Ash]

@RugbyReg "without pointing the Fainga'a"!

 

[Jets]

They aren't the only ones. A couple of other players are looking at all offers.

 

[No4918]

As long as those that go are replaced with at least a couple of players with equal or more experience things should be fine.

In order of importance to keep:
Cooper
CFS
Tapuai
Owen
Turner
Harris
Taulagi

As for the Faingaas, Schipperley, Davies & Schatz; they seem to have hit a wall as far as development goes and some have gone backwards on what they offered a 2-3 years ago.

Positions to go for:
Fullback - Mogg, JOC (James O'Connor) would add a considerble amount on what has been on show so far (he had to be brought up eventually)
Backrow - hopefully Browning will be good to start from next year. Look at Luke Jones as well.
Prop - PAE

How about we get onto the Rebels and organise to trade Harris and the Faingaas for Jones and PAE?
