Here goes ready to be shot at
Houghton another year for me, showed his class last two games with Dwyer(1 more year) they work well, Lovudua release, Griffin one year not taken a backward step all season, Tag the same he's been miles better after a run of games and injury free, Evans we know is going. Cam Scott and Macca sign them up good solid young squad players.
Satae is a must for our pack hoping games like last night and the fact Ligi is staying may persuade him to stay. Hearing Swift going which is a shame but can understand his circumstances. Wynne, Shaul going. Savelio I like but his injury record and heart is a big issue, we need second rowers desperately but would like to see Jebson get a game before end of the season shame Severs injured. Armstrong highly rated hope we can sort him a new deal out. Cator for me new 2 year deal he's a proper hard grafter that we need. Balmforth not sure yet but wouldn't be disappointed if we gave him a new 1 year deal.
Interesting comment by TS on humberside last night, just listened back now saying a few older players (I presume Houghton, Tag and Griffin) he will make decisions on some senior players later in the season as regards to if they can go again and prove their bodies can take it another season which I'm certain Tag and Mint would be happy to bide their time.
Also heard TS does all contracts negotiations and in/outs Clarkey nothing to do with this now.
Taylor and Houghton a no from me. As good as they have been (Mint especially) it is time to move on and bring some fresh faces in.
Griffin i'd give one year as he's been good so far this season and would be a good squad player and new deals for Cator, Scott,Mcnamara,Dwyer and hopefully Satae too.
Shaul,Wynne, Savelio,Evans,Lovodua all going and possibly Brown,Swift and Balmforth too.
New winger, hooker, 2 props and 1-2 second rowers too all being well
