Keep or Drop? : Sat Jan 14, 2012 12:05 pm  

I know the season hasnt started but it will give us something to talk about. The following players contracts are up and the end of the coming season. Who if any would you offer new contracts to and for how long?
obviously this season will say alot but atm what would you do?

Wellens
Soliola
Meli
Flannery
Hale
Clough
Wheeler
Dixon

IMO

Wellens: Coaching position?
Soliola: Still young..3 years
Meli: Can see him getting 1 year, but i'd let him go
Flannery: Bye
Hale: 2 years (its the trend atm)
Clough: 3 years.....shown he has quality, he will only improve further
Wheeler: can see him going somewhere else and being injury free and a world beater
Dixon

Re: Keep or Drop? : Sat Jan 14, 2012 12:35 pm  

Wellens - Retire to backroom
Soliola - 3 years maybe 4
Meli -Final Season I think
Flannery - Same as Meli. Good solid player nothing special
Hale - see how he develops
Clough - worth a 2 year ext
Wheeler - Depends on injuries tbh - if he doesnt get a run I think he'll be on his way(rightfully so)
Dixon - worth an extension unless he gets overtaken by Hale ....

For me final season for:

Wellens, Flannery, Meli, Clough

Hmmm intresting about Clough,I really like the lad. Nowt spectacular but gains metres and tackles hard.

Re: Keep or Drop? : Sat Jan 14, 2012 4:15 pm  

Wellens - GTFO now
Soliola - New contract, as long as he'll sign for
Meli - Bye
Flannery - Bye
Hale - Who? We've no idea if he's any good as he's barely played
Clough - Keep on a cheap deal. Worthwhile squad player but if he wants megabucks we can easily replace
Wheeler - Get rid ASAP. Done very little in all the time he's been here to suggest he'll be any good. Doesn't seem to have the heart to be a pro sportsman.
Dixon - Similar to all the utterly average back rowers we've produced down the years. Decent enough but nothing special. Keep until he asks for too much money and then replace with another average clone from the Academy.

Wheeler doesn't seem to have the heart? What a load of tosh. If he hadn't the heart he'd have packed in playing long ago given the run of injuries he's had. If the same happens this season then you'd have to concede he's never going to have the resilience to survive in the game never mind at Saints but to suggest having a faint heart has led to his injuries is absurd.
