Off Contract 2013

[EagleHaus]

20 players off contract next year, who are priorities keepers and goers?

Dane Chisholm, James Cunningham, Ben Farrar, Jacob Gagan, Joe Galuvao, David Gower, James Hasson, Peta Hiku, Jamil Hopoate, Kayne Lawton, Justin Lemalu, Jamie Lyon, Ben Musolino, George Rose, Jason Seage, Jesse Sene-Lefao, Nick Skinner, Tom Symonds, Esi Tonga, David Williams

IMO

Priority Keepers
Lyon, Symonds, Williams - not sure who else can fit under the cap and who needs to stay?

Priority Goers
Rose, Galuvao(real bad luck) - who else goes so the above stays?

 

[Chip and Chase]

Plenty of football left this year before we worry about who we are cutting and keeping.

 

[EagleHaus]

thats how other teams steal players from under us. LOL

....Esi Tonga can go. I trust the recruitment and retention team. Especially after their efforts over the summer.

 

[Shoe1]

Another thread has symonds quoted as being here til end of 2014

 

[The Eagle Has Landed]

Yeah Shoe1 is right Symonds is here till the end of 2014.

Need to keep Killer and Wolfie.

+1. Give Killer as long as he wants. He'll know how long he has left. I trust his judgement.

Even god would only feed two of those guys

We need to keep:
Chisholm (good back up to halves)
Joe (please)
Gagan has lots of development to go and flies! (interesting though they picked Hiku and not him on the wing)
Jamil: Will be great once he settles back in
Lemalu: Young prop who only has come up from 20's.
Lyon: Of course
Jesse: Showed some improvement and handy off the bench
Tom: I believe 2014
Wolfie: Just a great winger and brings fans in.

Shame about Cunningham as he was junior star and a local. Just hasn't stepped up. Real big kid so maybe needs more time to mature.
Lawton: Bench for reggies. Heard he'd like to be a pro surfer so maybe he and George can catch some waves.

I heard good things about Hasson and Musolino but they haven't done much. Leave this to the club.

Ben Farrar - what's he been up to?

 

[The Wheel]

ben is injured at the moment - should be back in a few weeks

Will Farrar ever see first grade again ?

 

[The Wheel]

Maybe not - agreat role model/leader for the NSW Cup team though - he could come in handy if we have a couple of injuries though in the backline or maybe SOO (eg if snake and Jorge fidn their way to NSW team)

 

[Darren]

Weev, isn't there an Angels song "Is he ever going to play first grade for Manly again?" ## ###

At Mounties, Ferguson opposite him was making him look like a Jim Beam cupper. If he ends up in first grade, we a. have a load of injuries and b. we are in trouble. Hiku and Gutherson must be fullback before him. Terribly slow and small.

I wouldn't be cutting our only specialist centre backup

 

[Darren]

He's looked shocking in lower grades KE!! Amazing to think he was selected for QLD squads only a few years ago.

Even god would only feed two of those guys

But if you teach them to fish you could feed them all for a life time

Wolfie hunts and kills his own now that he is on a raw food regime 😛

So he can stay to enthrall and entertain us

I haven't seen him play there, but a few years ago when he 1st came onto the scene he had obvious talent

I'm big on specialist centres so would keep him around anyway, we have plenty of examples of guys coming good in our systems.

Can handle a Symonds/Horo/Buhrer there for half a game or so if somebody gets injured, but I wouldn't want them week after week filling in
