It's what Mr Koukash wants, but has been voted out up until now.

Basically, one player is exempt from the salary cap, so you can pay him whatever you want.

Rumour is it may come in next year.

Should be concentrating on this season not looking to next year just yet.

Heard a few days ago an offer on the table for SKD and Sam thaiaday. But if they're coming over most teams will be in. SKD would be a fair chance I'd say. Moa n Fitz can put in a good word. As can macnamara n he's a former team mate of motu s.

Both would be brilliant signings if true. SKD is a possibility, but I can't see Thaiday coming over here yet. Not whilst he's still playing for the Aussies and in SOO.

I got told before the derby (Paea to Leeds Rhinos, 3 year deal has a replacement to peacook)

how many overseas players are out of contract?



Sa,

Feka

Paea

Rankin

Michaels



right or wrong?

Paea wants to stay. He's settled here. Guess money talks though but IMO will stay

could be his last contract... depends on the money and duration offered.

Prop and a sounds right to me.



I can see Ellis starting 2016 in the second row. We have Hadley, Thompson,Turgut and Fash backing up there so I don't think we are short of bodies. I'm hopeful one of those kids will emerge as a superstar.

Paea's staying, without a shadow of a doubt. Only way he'll leave is if we tell him we don't want him (or offer him a wholly unreasonable contract).

We will want to keep Paea, for certain, and as long as our offer is competitive he will stay. Whether Sa gets another offer or not will depend on if he stays healthy.



Rankin might get an offer, but I think he wants to be back in Aus.



Feka will end up somewhere like Bradford or Fev, I don't think he'll retire, but he won't be kept.



Michaels will go home at the end of the season and won't play for us again. Guilty or not, the trail is set to take a long time.

Sa has another year I think signed a 2 1/2 year contract, must improve his injury record though.



50/50 on Rankin, Shaul is our long term option at FB, no good having a stop gap player.



I'd release Feka if Paea stays.



Michaels has to really improve to earn another deal.



I'd go all out for two overseas centres, then Sa or Talanoa could be used off the bench in the backrow
