The Kerr and' possibly' Sloan one seems the most likely.. Suli the 2nd one.. crap ok yeah Fale also.. dont think Gutho/Atko r likely..
If Dan Anderson even wants to move on Atkinson, I thought he is one another club like Perth might be interested in. Suli should have a few clubs interested as well. Kerr will have to go to the ESL. I guess Gutho and Kyle will retire or see out their contracts. No idea about Fale really. He might get an offer from the ESL.

I don’t see bostock leaving, Sloan staying Kerr will leave. Suli ain’t going anywhere no one is going to give him the money he is on and he would know that.
If he knows he isn't getting an offer beyond next year and the club is willing to pay a significant % of his freight for next year. I would guess he'd be interested in leaving.

We have made it super clear we want Jack to come home.. and I saw a little optimism today in Jacks wording that he 'was not too sure' he was staying in Brisbane.. but as Rufus mentioned thats also the sort of thing you say when you are trying to leverage some more money out of your current club negotiation (esp if u really want to stay).

At the very least though our interest will force the money up and perhaps Jack has a decision to make... then again there are likely other parties monitoring the situation.. and there is a bit of a musical chairs thing probably going to happen.. i.e. anyone who leaves their club crates a vacancy also.

In a perfect world we need to off load a few non starters like thinking at least 4 would be great

It’s a top 30+6 so in any given round there will be 17 players not picked … you just need to ensure that in those 17 you have promising developing talent plus first grade capable depth for cover

It is so right to look at out 36 and chat about the ness that we are still trying to correct

Weatherall/Oneill don’t seem to be that promising developing junior type when compared with Hutchinson/reed …

Problem with that is given new teams first grade capable can get a gig playing 1sts not walllwing in cup … so unless you are the roosters you are carrying the likes of a Kerr/Sele and you hope that when the get tge call up they contribute

22 teams will make that worse as well

So I agree that in the 36 we have a bunch who are not giving great value and I hope that a better environment to work/play plus better recruitment/retention decisions will get a better squad

We have top stop paying big overs on the likes of Holmes/gutherson even Suli ASAP

Sometimes these fringe first grade types like Josh Kerr are a necessary evil unless you are going to throw a bunch of 18 year-olds into the fray which won't work about 9 times out of 10. Though seems with Hutchinson, Webster, Tsogranis Dragons have some pretty good depth in the forwards. Backs are a worry.
