Had a feeling we might see his game go up a level next season, but if he goes and that allows us to bring in two players including s top 6, then I can see the benefit for the team, plenty of cover in the back row aswell.
I agree with you. This is probably the last season for Ellis and Mini and if we don't take up the third year for Frank,(I believe it's in our favour) that will be a hell of a turnover of the back row which could be disruptive. At present we could sign a Quality Off Half a forward to replace Frank and an outside back. The problem is most teams have done their recruitment and retention so it may be difficult to bring in who we need, though we could have enough cash to pay transfer fees. Purely hypothetical of course.

I'd hope that if we do release Frank, then we already have someone, you signed, think it will either be Kelly or Carney.

Great players but signing either of them would be a big gamble especially Kelly. When your team mates don't want you to play despite being in a perilous position says it all. Given a choice I would rather have Myler and go for Sio or Naiqama for Michaels. What ever happens it looks like we will have our strongest squad since the last time we won the championship. Exciting times, I can't wait for next season.

Myler and Sio would be amazing, but unlikely as Sio will give back and we don't know if Myler is available.
The other two are risks, but you have to trust Radford and Tony, if they could get the best out of either player, it could take us to the next level.
I'd take a gamble on either on them with a one deal deal.
