i think we all know that best will retire at the end of the year and i think everyone will agree that we need to re sign both graham and morris but which other players would you like to see re sign and which do you think wen should let go

Agree with Jigsaw (not in the order you put it in though). maybe put williams on a 2nd tier as well.

didnt realise we had so many oof contract

Best -> Retire but stay on one of those $1 deals in case we need him during the year. Doesn't have to do the off season etc.
Cordoba -> If we can keep him on a NSW cup deal we should. I reckon he's been playing better than Green and he seems to like it here.
Feki -> He'd be on hardly anything and if he wants to stay he's worth that. I see potential in him.
Ike -> I'm not too fussed. Depends on money. Handy player but wouldn't get into a battle over him.
Graham -> Must re-sign. One of the most important players in our team right now, and will become more important over time.
Leutele -> Similar to others, if he's on low money and happy to stay he's good depth.
Morris -> Retire, would be nice if he could do the Best thing as well.
Peachey -> Keep and train him up as bench hooker / utility. Basically Morris' current role.
Stapleton -> No one else will touch him and I think he could still have a good career. Would love to keep him.
Tutauha -> He isn't in our NRL squad, probably on peanuts. I don't really have a strong opinion either way. He looked good at fullback in a cup game I watched but is a long shot to ever play NRL.
Williams -> Depends on price. If he likes it at the Sharks then he'd be handy to keep. Maybe second tier though depending on other signings.

1. Graham (A must keep)
2. Morris
3. Ike Gordon
4. Peachy
5. Staplton
6. Williams
7. Feki

2nd Tier:

8. Cordoba
9. Leutele

If we need cap space for a big name signing Feki and Leutele would get the punt IMO.

best- depends on centre signings
corodoba- second tier if we can otherwise we allow him to go overseas or something for FG
feki- second tier
issac gordan- cheap top 25
graham- yes and we will!
ricky leutele- second tier
morris- let him go, peachey takes his spot in the pecking order.
tyrone peachey- yes, second tier
nathan stapelton- top 25
callum tahalua- second tier
john williams- cheap contract

Highlighted the ones I think.

As for Best, don't be so sure, apparently he's changed his mind cause he's playing so well, looks like he's playing on next year.

The only ones I would be looking at signing up right now would be graham, Feki(strong player, breaks loads of tackles, possible future backrower) and Gordon. Morris will be going to England, we have the nsw u20 hooker who a number of experts consider plays like a young cam smith, put him on the bench
. Only sign the others if we need depth.

Graham: 3-4 year extension.
Best: If we can't land a genuine NRL centre, keep him. I like MB's idea of getting him on a $1 second tier/match payment deal.

Williams, Gordon and Stapleton: At this stage, sign one or two of them to one year deals to fill out the 25- probably Stapo and Gordon. Our back 3 is our biggest weakness- we really need to sign an NRL winger. But we also have a fair bit of talent coming through on the wing with Mataitonga, Pickerd, Rasmussen, Dibley etc.

Cordoba: If we can't sign anyone better. But there is definitely better out there. I doubt he stays for a second tier deal.

Leutele/Feki: Sign one to a 2nd tier deal. I think at least one of them will move on if not given a chance this year.

Peachey: Retain, 2nd tier deal.

Morris: Tempted to give him another year, but I doubt we could match the offers he would get from Super League.

Lichaa: Must keep. Long term replacement for De Gois. Could even offer him Morris' Top 25 spot a year early.

Pickerd/Moroko: Keep on 2nd tier deals or bottom top 25 filler spots. Much the same situation as Peachey- give them every chance to make it.

Coates/Viiga/Tubbs/Hill: Keep a couple on 2nd tier deals... it would be nice to see us develop a prop of our own. I like Tubbs and Hill myself but given Coates and Viiga were in the summer NRL squad, they're probably ahead.

Now that graham has signed, I'm not fussed about the rest of that bunch. Not many would get a run in first grade at other clubs, see what the open market is like.......

I agree to a certin point mate
We still need depth

Yeah, we know what we get with those blokes though, Williams, stapo, gordon especially. Happy to let them either sign on for min or sign other outside backs for minimum. Give young blokes a go maybe? Happy to let Morris go and play lichee or peachey as well. We might go backwards a little in replacing these guys with young blokes we already have at the club, but it will be far outweighed if we do pick up Jennings and gagai along with Gordon.

in regards to our offcontract players. I believe its time to turn a page and move forward with the rest of our to date great recruiting.
IMO

Re-sign:
best - Offer him close to minimun on 1 year deal if he wants and let him juggle his off-field things.
corodoba - Secondary Contract
feki - Have not seen enough of this bloke to be honest. If theres signs he can improve tho sign him up on cheap.
issac gordan - Good depth player.
tyrone peachey - Re-sign for a year/2 years, if he cant turn his potential into some first team opportunities and nail a utility spot its time for a release.
john williams - Secondary contract only. Very safe but not what we want anymore moving forward.

Release:
ricky leutele - Not seen enough from him to warrant a new contract.
morris - Time to let him go and promote Michael Lichaa into his spot on the bench.
nathan stapelton - Injury riddled and not sure what kind of player he will be again. Perhaps time to replace with a different junior
callum tahalua - Replace with Pikerd?
