Our of contract players;

Vinnie Anderson
Lee Briers
Louis Anderson
Simon Grix
Paul Rauhihi
Chris Hicks
Steve Pickersgill
Paul Wood

Obviously Gleeson has been referred to as wanting to leave.

If Vinnie doesn't stay, I can't see Louis either. Rauhihi is gone, I can see Hicks leaving too.

Looking at a definite in Rauhihi, I don't see an obvious replacement with time on their side. Price and Civoniceva must be planning on retiring, would we be looking for a 12 monther? Dunno. Nate Myles' stock seems to have fallen despite him being a Origin regular up until recently, though I'm sure he has covered himself in glory off the field.

A solid winger has to be thrown in there too. Steve Turner is probably one of the easier ones to get. Manly's Robertson looks an exciting prospect I think he would be well worth a punt, I thought David Williams was off-contract at Manly too, another one worth going for.

Intersting times ahead, that is for sure.

We should get Minichiello and Orford. World class players in two of the most important positions. We could build around them with youing up and coming players. We don't need to replace Rauhihi.

I'd expect Taylor to sign with Brisbane, now he is an animal.

Didn't Hicks sign an extension prior to this season?

I just thought that was speculated, not nothing has actually come of it, yet.

Minichello. Geat player, but spends too much time on the treatment table nowdays.

12 month contracts dont work, it usually takes a player from down under 12 months to settle in

I'm not sure about Minichiello, too many question marks about his fitness - I'm pretty sure he has missed most of the 04, 06, 07 and 08 seasons through injury. It's a shame Luke O'Dwyer isn't on that list.

Anyway, looking at that list. I'd love us to sign Brett Kearney and Dave Taylor. I think Kearney is an excellent player.
