If you look at who is ooc and what we need squad wise the club need to recruit or make retention decisions on:

2 wingers
2 props
4/5 back row options

Im starting to think Paea deserves another year

We don’t want to be making the same mistake as last season and giving new deals out after a couple of good performances . In a way I’ll contradict myself here , but if he continues how he’s been playing I’d give green another deal , it’s just his injury record that isn’t great . But he looks like he’s bulked up a bit and I’ve been impressed since he’s returned .

I think we'll only keep one of Bowden and Green - the question is which. I actually think Green is the better player on his day but injuries and inconsistency blight his game

Bowden is under contract, and a much better player, one if the best props in SL in 2016-17.

Green is OK, but too injury prone and inconsitent, with the likes of Brown and Masi I think it's time to move him on.

Need to replace, Ellis, Paea, Manu, Mini and probably Westerman so 4 forwards needed as we have Savalio.

My guess is Jones, Mellor, Glenn and Evans.

Plus an NRL back.

Mellor?

Leeds, Wigan and Rovers also in the hunt so he would be a notable signing.

Hope he picks the highest placed side.

if westy can stay fit I would sign him up, last night he was the glue what held our pack together, big unit, tackles well, ball handler as well, Green well again thought he played well but hes another one whos got to prove his fitness

Not really sure why you seem keen to move Westerman on. Arguably our best player this year. We look a much better side with him at 13. Much better attacking shape than when we have another ball carrier there. Would be top of my list to retain.
