I cant really see Tony SMith hanging around keeping players who are not happy im just sure he is waiting for the right time to do it.. He cant just get rid of half the team without replacments that would be stupid and i dont thin TS is that kind of bloke.. He takes no nonsense and im sure he knows which players will not be having there contracts renewed.. Players that i would release would be ..
Lets say you were Tony Smith, in an ideal world where contracts were not an issue who would you release ?
These are the players i would let go:
Lee Briers Michael Monaghan Matt King Louis Anderson Vinnie Anderson Paul Wood Paul Rauhihi Jon Clarke Steve Pickersgill Chris Bridge Chris Hicks Paul Johnson Chris Riley Simon Grix .
Fair few players there mate - who's going to play wing - Bob the kitman?
I agree with some of those but you've gone a bit far for me.
King is an interesting one - I think he has done much better lately and I'm hopeful there's more to come, how do you think he has played of late Rob?
Just don't see where the Rauhihi haters come from. Personally think he is immense. Would be even better with someone stuck to his shoulder each time. Barring the season with his back problem, think he has been one of our more consistant performers...
