Horne for two years is a must, not missed a game this season since he came back and has played well. I'd like to see us go for Luke Burgess. Let Long,Burnett,Lauaki,Phelps and Dowes go. I'm soory men but Turner will never be a six as long as I have a hole in my a**e. Back up centre for me. You have to have Nicklas and Obst backing up Horne for Stand off and Ellis backing up Seymour.

As I see it IMO

1 McKinnon/Whiting
2 Sharp/Lyne
3 Gleeson/Turner
4 Yeaman/Cunningham
5 Briscoe/Briscoe
6 Horne/Obst/Nicklas
7 Seymour/Ellis
8 O'Meley/Burgess
9 Houghton/Heremaia/Obst
10 Moa/Radders/Aldous
11 Manu/Kent
12 Tickle/Green
13 Westerman/Washy

Burgess is off to Souths.

I thought Sunday showed how much we miss Horne when he isn't on the field and obst looked lost without him.

I'd give horne 2 years on a reduced salary with a view to him getting involved in the coaching

We always miss Horne when he is not there. I definately keep him and try and offload Obst to free up some cash for another forward.

Not sure if he is coaching material tbh but I would not be against it, I understood Long was going to be offered a coaching role but think he still wants to play.

Prescott or keep Dowes then.

Pearce has been getting some good reviews in the U20's.

Do you think Lawrence will get any first team action next season?

he is supposed to be a tank and i've also been told he has excellent handling skills...

Totally unfit. Doubt he'll ever play for the 1st team.

Not sure. His fitness and body shape have improved and he seems to be doing well. How close he is to first team action I don't know.

I think Dowes deserves another 1 year deal IMO. After a poor start he's really started to step up.

shame he's been useless for two years before it though, get rid if we can find better.

You're only as good as your last game . O'Meley was useless for 2 years before he signed for us. The sentiment is though correct and should apply for all OOC players.
