Taylor said it’s up to the senior players to sort it out. He included himself, Houghton and Sika in that, so Manu won’t be one of them.

I’d bin Abdul now. I’d play Miloudi at half back in front of him, but I’d have been doing that anyway. I suspect Radford is not a fan of Hakim for some reason though.

Pearson can be trigger happy, so his statement doesn’t surprise me.
I wouldn’t be surprised if he changed the coaching at some point next year if it doesn’t improve.

Can’t see Gaz Ellis in the role at some point.

binman, tuime, manu,washy, green,

What does he mean by "Players who will take us to a new financial level"? Is he talking marquee players?

It wont be Carlos,Manu,Washbrook or Green Talanoa possibly definately Griffin

Not much mention of Jamie Shaul. A couple of breakaway tries a season isnt good enough.

Not saying he should go but he seriously needs to up his game and not live on Wembley 2016.

I see Bill and Ben are out to play tonight

So who's left?

I can't see it being:

faraimo
shaul
taylor
houghton

You've said it won't be carlos, manu, washbrook or green so leaves

abdul
harris
litten
masi
fash
lane
and a couple of other youngsters, none of whom will free up any significant salary cap

griffin who will be on a wedge
hadley who will be at the lower end of the senior players salaries
shaul who was radford's best man so can't see him going anywhere
talanoa who should never have been given a contract but I can't see his attitude being in question

Could all be p1ss and wind from pearson and end up with a few fringe players going and no one of any significance being signed

We have a winner

We don't need massive changes IMO, I look to bring in 2/3 players.

I'd release Talanoa, Paea and Abdul

I think we need a prop, bsvkrower and possible a back, depending on if we play Connor at FB

I'd like to see a side something like this

Connor
Faramino
Carlos
Gelling
Hakim/Shaul
Kelly
Sneyd

Taylor
Houghton
Bowden
Jones
Manu
Westy

New prop
Green or one if the young props
Mini
Litten

Maybe go back in for Josh Jones
