Realistically would that be a bad thing? I always liked G Horne, but I think he is not up to making a position his own Sam Moa would keep, visa dependent though? Maloney, Hall and Lee. Disappointed to lose youngsters but its clear we have to ship some out, so what would peoples thoughts be if this is indeed the 9 to ship out?
Out of that list I would keep Lee and Hall definately (if the latter is let go I will be very angry) and maybe Maloney. I would keep Moa too if it wasnt for the tighter quota rules

Gets away with murder in term of loads of sly, niggly little infringements that go unnoticed (bit like McMenemy used to do) - exactly the sort of player you want in your team and hate to play against. A couple of years ago we were linked with him and people said he was too old - he looks OK to me.
Thinking about it, centre is another position we have scrimped on over the last few years (albeit not to the same extent as SH) - Sid Domic was OK, but really since Barnett we've not had real class there.
I don't think Barnett played too much either, especially in his last season. He was a class player but don't think he really got the chance to show it too much for us. We havent signed a try scoring centre since another bald headed fogie

Yeah it was amazing to watch Barnett. He could beat first man almost every single time and his hits in defense were superb. He could also play fantasticly well in the centres or at fullback.
The words of fools mean nothing to one who resides in the truth.
All this Richie Barnett nostalgia really gets me. Talk about your recollections being blurred by the passage of time.
The first half of his first season he was great as was the team. Second half of the season he started to miss games and the team even missed the play offs.
His second season his mystery illness returned and he hardly contributed at all!
keep moa tickle houghton and either dowes or radford get rid of thorman g.horne and thackery and what is lauaki is he another ploder or is a impact prop and also get rid of kingy used to be good but hes past it
Why would we let Houghton out on loan and keep Lee, beggers belief, all I can put it down to is that the people who put this are either his family his mate or himself.
Did the second half on Sat tell people anything we need the go forward players like him, Moa and Maloney Burnett, if we ever going to improve, for me if Berrrigan doesn't improve he can go as his perfromances have been nothing special.
