Players OOC next year are allowed to talk to other clubs at the end of the month (surprised it hasn’t been moved) I believe we have Dwyer, Myker and Cuthbertson OOC

Would you offer them a deal?

Personally I think Dwyer and Mylee have done enough to maybe get one, Cuthbertson has gone well since Agar has come on board maybe worth a year extra or is that one season too much for him?

Thoughts?

Re: Transfer Talk / Rumour Thread V3 : Mon Apr 27, 2020 6:58 pm  

I think we will offer Dwyer another year due to his form for the last year or so and he has been a main 9 for past 2 seasons and next season it'll be a good battle between him and Leeming to be our first choice 9. Myler is a tricky one i feel over the 2018 and 2019 seasons he hasn't really warranted a new deal but his attitude and determination this season and playing all over the pitch for us he could be the sort of player we need around the team in training and stuff to keep spirts high and also give competition for the halves and hookers. Cuthbertson has been a good servant to the club but I think another season would just be a waste of a overseas spot and too much on a 35/36 year props body.

I think Dwyer 1 year extension

Myler maybe another year deal( maybe try and move Rob Lui on and have Gale and Myler in halves)

Cuthbo retirement.

Deffo keep Dwyer and Myler for me. Though I suspect Myler could depend on salary cap. Both have been great and much much improved.

Re: Transfer Talk / Rumour Thread V3 : Mon Apr 27, 2020 9:36 pm  

Depends on who’s available, what deals the players want and who we think could step up if given a chance. Johnson deciding his heart wasn’t in it is a big one for Dwyer.

I’d say the only one that you’d question would be Cuthbo going around again, but like I say it depends who’s available. There will be a lot of turmoil at many clubs so the market will look very different to normal and stability for players might see them accepting less than they otherwise might?

Re: Transfer Talk / Rumour Thread V3 : Mon Apr 27, 2020 10:43 pm  

For reference, our list is.. Wellington Albert, Tom Briscoe, Adam Cuthbertson, Tyler Dupree, Brad Dwyer, Rhys Evans, Tom Holroyd, Muizz Mustapha, Richie Myler, Stevie Ward.

Re: Transfer Talk / Rumour Thread V3 : Tue Apr 28, 2020 4:29 am  

big one for me is ward. do we get value for money given his injury record?

Re: Transfer Talk / Rumour Thread V3 : Tue Apr 28, 2020 4:32 am  

The club were actively looking to offload Myler in the close season due to options available. He’s had a couple of good games, with one down to the first choice out. I can’t see a new contract there unless it is massively reduced terms, and that the corona virus has hit all plans for squad changes across the sport.

Dwyer was offered a one year because they clearly planned for different next year. Again will depend on whether the virus has hit player movement. Either way though Dwyer has actually made changes to improve his game and self. Would think that might go down well. Can see a change here with another two years.

Cuthbertson, I just can’t see the club going again here.

He was player of the year in his first year and has been excellent this one. Now we have a coach who knows how to use him - he's not a playmaking half - he's proven to be a big part of how we've gone this year. I'd be keen to see how him and Gale operated together as they've looked potentially better than Gale and Lui.

Re: Transfer Talk / Rumour Thread V3 : Tue Apr 28, 2020 7:56 am  

Dwyer is a yes based on his form for the part of the season we played, Johnson leaving and leeming being injured so we don't know how he will settle in.

Myler is a maybe. Has done well at FB but covid will allow jack's injuries to heal so don't know where Myler plays when most of the squad are fit. Worth keeping if the terms are right.

Cuthbo will depend on what our options are. Doesn't he still take up an overseas place? In which case it be time to let him go, great servant he has been.

A lot though will depend on where clubs and the sport as a whole is at financially. It is more of a guessing game than ever right now.

I think this could be T.Briscoe last season with us his has had a mixed career with us he has had his fair share of bad games and costly errors such as the 2014 knock on in last minute on his own try line, but on the flip side he has come up with some important contribution and tries such as 5 tries in challenge cup final and 2 in 2017 grand final, maybe it could be time for change and maybe let T.Briscoe go maybe give L.Briscoe a season as our first choice winger and see if he can play super league consistently or we could go into the market for a new winger someone with genuine pace, strength and eye for try line someone like Tom Johnstone Wakey or Dom Manrfedi from Wigan ? I think Stevie Ward will get a contract from just with position and relationship with club but maybe the club might give him a rolling contract to see how his body copes because if he stays with us he really needs an injury free season it's a shame but so fare in his career he probably doesn't warrant another big contract on big money due to his injury record that's not his fault though really it's just one of those things. Surely the club will be handing Holroyd and Mustpha new deals possibly long term ones because if these two continue their development they will be the future of our pack for many years to come. Can't see us keeping Evans on and Albert, wonder if we will go in for Greenwood permanently at end of this season as well. The big question is though with this Pandemic how will the club be left financially and how will they go about recruiting new players and retaining others, the Rhinos are probably the healthiest club in super when it comes to wealth and might be able to survive better than most over teams in super league who are seen as smaller clubs but every team will have to reevaluate their financial situation when life eventually gets back to some normality.
