Mark Gasnier will retire from the St George-Illawarra Dragons at the end of this season. Great player but a shame he wasted a few years in France.

can't see that being the end of him as professional rugby player unless he has a major injury I don't know about. Will be interesting to see if he goes back to union, maybe the cash cow japan.

I've heard he was pushed into it by Dragons. Quality centre with tons of experience.

Oh and Hoffman back to Storm.

Retired?
Barring an unknown injury, there's no way will we never see him with his boots on again

So know we the future of Carmont and Hoffman, that leaves us with the following players out of contract at the end of this year.

Coley
Deacon
Pryce
O'Carrol
Davies

Personally I think all but O'Carrol and Davies will and should leave. Coley and Deacon are on their last legs literally. Their body's just aren't up to doing another year IMO.

So that leaves us with for 2012 in the pack.

Frontrowers

Fielden
Mossop
Lima
Prescott
Crosby
Davies? Depends on whether he stays or not.

Backrowers

Lockers
Hock
Hansen
Farrel
Tuson
Hughes
Joel? May or may not continue in the centre's.

Personally I dont rate Davies and I think Castleford loan is his last chance saloon, unless he shows the commitment and drive that he wants to succeed - Like Tuson has done - then I think this will be the end of the road at Wigan for him.

I also think Deacon has one more year in him at least! Carmont is more on his last legs than Deacon is and he's just re-signed.
