So glad we kept Wes and let Lulia go.

 

[jamesgould]

So glad we kept Wes and let Lulia go.

That was his choice to leave, we were going to make him an offer.

 

[jamesgould]

Also, Houston is contracted for next year.

So...?

 

[Beaumont]

Also, Houston is contracted for next year.

Proof that we reward mediocrity.

 

[callumtear]

Is it the offseason already?

 

[slotmachine]

Also, Houston is contracted for next year.

Did he get an extension?
I thought when the charges against him were dropped at the end of 2010 he got a 2 year deal

 

[Beaumont]

He's up on loitering charges every time he gets the ball.

 

[Joshhh]

He has an option for a 3rd year, haven't heard anything about him activating it though.

 

[jamesgould]

There hasn't been anything about him being off contract, which indicates to me the third year has been activated by whichever party.

 

[knights22]

I don't even understand this thread, are all listed ones we should be getting rid of?

 

[jamesgould]

Marvin Karawana has returned to paradise on earth, also known as Lower Hutt.

 

[slotmachine]

I don't even understand this thread

Just emphasising the scope of this clean out.

Almost 75% of the first graders from the end of last year have been let go, are going to be let go or have been deemed not up to NRL standard.

 

[fj182]

As was on the twitter Sau ,hilder, we and likiliki are all being shopped around

Last time i was talking to him on twitter im sure he said he was playing local Rugby over there

 

[slotmachine]

Always like Marvin, hope he's doing well.

In the end probably wasn't quite athletic enough for 1st grade.

 

[Joshhh]

He played 7s in the national comp i think.

 

[Red&Blue]

Wayne cant make the structured grinding team he wants with alot of the current players. The word on other sites he want to clear out at least 1.4 million off the cap. Wes and Kevin, Sau, Hilder, Tuimavave, Edwards and Tahu are smart bets to be released. I dont expect Mullen will survive his plans either if he doesnt start performing. Props, seconds rowers and decent back up halves will be on the to get list.

Edwards will be resigned, Tahu will play out his contract than retire.
