Sa has been a disappointment, looked good at times but struggled with injuries and consistency.
Really sad to see Rankin leave. Always plays with his heart on his sleeve and had rarely let us down. However it's probably the correct decision. Shaul is the future, we cannot risk losing him and then have Rankin want to go home in a year or two.

Agree on both points and this will surely release a big chunk of salary cap

If you combined the best qualities of Shaul and Rankin you would have an outstanding full back.
Sorry to see Rankin go. He has always given 100%, worn his heart on his sleeve and has seemed more committed to the cause than some of the so-called local lads.
He has also displayed a more professional attitude than Shaul, who needs to step up and grow up now.
As for Sa, no great loss.

I wish them luck too.
Rankin always seemed to give it a go even when others didn't seem bothered.
Sa looked the part until he broke his back. I know it wasn't a serious injury considering how bad it could have been but he didn't seem the same afterwards.
