That seems to be a HDM speciality. I think someone once said on here that that the headline writer is not the same person who has written the article. I can believe that, as there's often a bit of a difference between the headline and what is actually said when you dissect the quotes.

Keep Feka, release Whiting.

Agreed as well. I guess they have a priority order to do contracts in and will only move onto the next one when the current ones agreed so they know how much they have left to spend.

If they are looking for a centre in Australia that might say something about Yeaman's status although isn't Michaels on a 1 year contract ?

Is Whiting not under contract, has to improve his fitness record to justify been kept further though.

Feka isn't worth a deal with the amount of minutes he plays.

Release them both. Well past their best.

Whiting in contract until the end of 2016.

Feka's minutes are down to the coach's policy on rotation, which probably stems back to his Bradford "10 minute per prop" days.

I've seen nothing to disprove Feka can play 20-25 minutes per stint.

Also, note how Paea and Feka no longer run onto a ball. They'd be far more devastating on a burst, but that's the poor distribution and cohesion. Radford's frigged about with the squad so much, there's no way they can function as a team.

Release Brian

If we get Taylor, I just don't think we need Paleaaesina, regardless of how many minutes he plays and who that is down to. Paea, Watts, Taylor, Thompson/Ellis, with Bowden/Green and Tyson-Wilson as backup. I'd sooner see his wage go towards a better attacking second rower.

HTW was once heralded to our future plans, a top prospect,
It is rather worrying he hasnt signed a long term contract.

As for Naughton, Radford was lavishing praise on him... as he said he was "a steal,& brings lots of energy"

For mine, I'd release Yeaman,Rankin,Howarth,Michaels,(Sa?) & Feka
