according to the contracts thread, Wello, Meli, Flanders and Cloughy are off contract.
I'd give Wello another year to fully train up his replacement, and Cloughy because he makes good yards but wont cost much.
Meli is a tough decision. He's off quota and still does a job, are Wheeler or Makinson ready to take his place permanently?
Flanders is going anyway.

At the start of the season it was stated we had cap room if the right player came along, so we have that, a reduction in wello's wage, Flanders gone, a reduction or release for Meli.

Have we given away all that extra cash on new contracts for kids??? I'd be very disapointed if so because non of them are Sam Tomkins

I know Meli was told he was free to look at other clubs for next year but that was under Royce do might change if Brown wants him.

Wello and clough wiill get new deals.

If Meli does go I think we will replace him and flannery from within the club.

then that should leave lots of money for a proper Jammer replacement, which top props are off contract elsewhere?

He's got to be English tho. I think a halfback is much needed before any other postion but a tackle breaking forward and good centre would also be nice.

I read shaun McRae saying he's got a list of over 100 players who are off contract.

realistically its looking like bradford will have to offload some players, who would we take? I've always liked Langley but is he getting old now?

Langley has never lived up to his potential but I've always thought he needed a move as he looks stale.

Elima is off contract and burgess.

I think the bulls got about 12 off contract

None stick out really. Elima is ok.

Burgess is still very young and has all the raw materials.
