Was good to hear Matt Diskin's views last night about how he sees the squad developing next year, how he anticipates the new signings slotting into the squad and how much certain players who the club may have been interested in signing are being paid/asking for from other clubs.  Also good to hear from John Humpleby about the work that his unit is doing in the community and with schools and also from John Roe about the work that the Heritage team are undertaking.  All in all are very good evening IMO.

So what's the current going rate for a decent

• half back
• winger
• centre
• prop
• hooker
• 2nd row
• LF?

[phildog]

Don't need a winger, Rettie and Campbell quite acceptable with Ainy back up, JC and Ainy also capable of filling in at 1 and Ainy came as a centre. Plenty forwards, brought 2 proos in who are haed worker', plenty 2nd rowers, just need that no.6.

From the rumour mill and not based upon factual info:-

Halfbacks - Gareth Moore £20k, Briggs and Thackeray £30k and £35k, Ridyard, Ford and Sammut £50k upwards.

Centres - Ulugia or Walton £30k

Prop - Richard Moore £30k

This might seem like a lot, but I can only see the prices increasing for proven quality players as there is such a shortage of players throughout the game. The ones that are available, are snapped up by SL and then Dr'd out.

 

[Johndeere]

In that case it's going to cost to keep the players  we have signed on now that are out of contract at the end of 2018 ! 

Its a good squad we have this year with some quality players that we could do with keeping 

But let's get this season underway before thinking about  the next ??

 We'e an excellent no 6 in Walker!

[phildog]

Don't fully agree 'e Walker at 6, you need a 6 who can break and scoot away, Patch won't do that at 30+year's old. Great at 13 for handling and brain yes.

[phildog]

ColinB please msg me.

[fredm]

Matt said that both Patch and Dom are now in their 30's and even the ordinary normal knocks and bruises in games start to take time to overcome and if either get a longer time injury then someone else needs to come in. This season we have got that covered with Farrell but need to keep looking for half backs for future seasons.

Plus Hemingway. ....regardless of all our varied opinions he is/was a halfback and a good kicker from hand and place. Matt Diskin also covered this. 

Was a really really good honest appraisal.
