So we know Finch, Lima, Tandy, Tolman and Hoffman are already gone. To keep the big 4 more then likely 3 off this list will have to go, but who should be the priority to stay?

i voted sika mainly because he is really young and proberbly the most talented of the bunch, but i also see him as a utility who can cover the whole forward pack and at a pinch centre. plus when he's been fit the last 2 years hes been our most damaging player.

As much as I like the other guys it has to be Sika. For me we need to keep him, and preferably Whitey,so that we have some experience to rebuild our forward pack around

Definitely Sika for me - with Quinn the most expendable imo

I think Sika would be highest priority on most peoples list, including mine.
I think Hinchcliffe is a handy player, could be cheap and worth his pay.
Blair and Sika could form our long term second row partnership and hopefully Proctor lives up to his potential.

Does Nielson ever pass the ball?

I don't mind keeping him, just not paying too much!

I agree, however Blair would be a close second.

We've got enough depth in the backs (Stanley, Widdop, Duffie, Isa) that we can afford to lose a few. It's the fowards I'm most worried about, will we have enough power up front to keep us in the game? I don't think so, if we are so content on losing fowards (LIMA, BLAIR/MANU, TANDY, TOLMAN, LOWRIE : if my mind serves me right) IMO, we have to retain at least 3 starting forwards.
