Apparently the club is only focused at the moment on re-signing Moses, Klem, and Jacko. As a bit of fun, decide for all the other players off contract this year and next whether you would re-sign them or replace them. Next to each player off contract is a list of other players for that position off contract in the same year. Try to be realistic in terms of salary cap, e.g you can't replace Reynolds with Thurston because Thurston is worth more than twice as much, unless you show that you have reduced spending elsewhere. I don't know if there are any good sources for what $$$s players are currently on, if you know of one please supply the link.

Obviously some players can play in more than one position, so if for example you see someone listed as a winger and you know they've played plenty of centre, feel free to list them as a replacement for a centre.

(Note: I've only included players who have played first grade or who some fans would like to see in first grade)

Be prepared to have contract values of your choices scrutinised. Anyone who makes choices that are plainly impossible because of the salary cap will be given a slow clap and maybe a few other things.

Keep in mind, Mbye was on 200k a year, and is reportedly about to sign for ~750k. We didn't hang on to Hodko because Newcastle offered him 600k. Guys like Lichaa and Klem are on about 300k atm, and are sure to take a fair bit more cap space when we re-sign them.

I'd love to give an in depth response, I'm at work unfortunately.

We need to make a play for Coote next year, he should fit in comfortably by letting Williams go.

I'd let Lane go, put Elliott in the starting line up. Probably let Beastwood go, I'm a fan but would be looking to make a play for Peachey in 2017 to play Lock, look at playing Fualalo at Lock in the interim.

Give Perrett an Ambassador type job and give Phillips his spot, don't replace.

Have a crack at Keary if the money's there (edit: no, not for 800k), if not Luke Kelly for 200k wouldn't be terrible.

I'll give the standard kennel response.
Perret, comes in too much
Morris' are both to old and broken
Rona's gonna leave anyway
Hoppa's not as good as Lafai
Reynolds is stupid and unskilled
Moses has a big head and cost too much
Jackson gives away too many penalties
T-Rex is a cat
Graham has lost his edge
Tolman runs too soft
Klemmer runs too hard
Lichaa isn't as good as Ennis
Kasiano's fat
Eastwood's fat
And
Haslers a shit coach.

Fire everybody !

Most of these guys listed below will probably be gone in about 3 years . Jmoz might get a 2 year reduced contract like mini and become a lifetime doggie.

Graham
Eastwood
Jmoz
Bmoz
Perret
Trex

Aren't half those players you have listed (as replace with) already in multi-year contracts with respective clubs? If from Zerotackle, I've found them inaccurate sometimes these days.
Others on the list are rubbish at respective clubs, thus why they aren't in multi year contracts.
Others will be re-signed so there's no chance in hell that list will remain intact.

For example .... why would we replace ANY player with Alex McKinnon!

Then there's the fact some guys are on next to nothing here.

Rona is under contract for next season according to recent reports.

2016 Re-sign
Fualalo
Pato

Maybe
Frawley/Chisholm (atleast keep one or potentially both based on form and other signings and form of 20s players).
Lane (always rated him and would love to keep him, however rumours of a poor offseason and potentially wanting out make me uneasy).

Potential Targets
Brooks (fg halfback)
Coote (fg fullback)
RFM (fg backrow/lock)
Gagan (potential centre/wing)
Nelson (potential backrow/hooker)
Hampton (potential half/hooker/fullback)

2016:

Release -
O'Hanlon, McGrady, McInally

Re-sign -
Williams - 2017 - if not much interest in him for $600K+ or if we can't find someone as good or better, sign for one more at a reduced value e.g. $450K
Browne, Eastwood - 2018 - because of defence up the middle and relative contract value. last contract for both
Fualalo, Lane - 2018 - potential
Rona - 2019 - lock up long term

Undetermined -
Chisholm, Frawley - decision on one or the other at the end of the year

2017:
Don't want to really think that far ahead, but yeah.

Release -
Stanley, Garvey, Perrett - hopefully one of them by the end of this season

Re-sign -
Tolman, Hopoate, Reynolds, Lichaa, Elliott

Undetermined -
Holland, Phillips

We need to sign a specialist fullback, I hope we are looking at Coote. That gives us a backline of 1. Coote 2. Rona 3. J-Moz 4. Hoppa and 5. B-Moz.

If Reynolds doesn't fire this year he needs to be moved on. Move Mbye back to 6 and see who is decent and available to play 7, if need be play Chisholm there, can't be any worse than what we are seeing from Reynolds atm.

If Williams plays well this year and is willing to stay for a much smaller contract and year to year deals then fine, if not move on. Tim Browne will probably remain as he is on a minimal deal. Eastwood I'd like to see him stay.

As for NSW cup players wouldn't even waste my time speculating on those - most will never be used and no matter how well they play will never put pressure on the players Des' has as first choice.

As for contracts for end of 2017 you need to see who is signed for 2017 itself and how they pan out before you can make any decision on those.

If it were up to me I would use Trex, Perret and Reynolds money to try and make a play for Gillet and Brooks/Keary

That would give us a backline of: 1. Hoppa 2. Rona 3. JMoz 4. Holland 5. BMoz
and an Injury List of: Coote - Indefinite / Season

He's too injury prone.

Bmoz/Abbey/Hoppa are our fullbacks.

Yup, I really liked the look of abbey in the trials, ball player and was always sniffing around for an offload, but I agree his not ready yet but happy to wait for abbey
