Fash should definitely get a new deal, cheap and rarely misses a game. Decent squad player, we need to sign better quality so that Fash isn't getting our POTY though.
If we can replace Wynne, Shaul, Houghton, Savelio, Lovodua and Evans with 5 forwards to improve our squad, I'll be happy.
I'd keep Savelio, but think he will go.
Undecided on Dywer, Mcnamara, Griffin and Taylor, depends on if there are better out there.
Keep the rest if possible
Constantly spot on mate.
Players like fash are essential in a salary cap sport. Low hit on cap and you know exactly what you get from them. In an ideal world he’s the sort of player you want as a back up but no one can say he has let us down one bit over the last few seasons.
To some extent I’d even consider giving Houghton and Taylor 1 year deals if the talent isn’t out there. Both had testimonies so their cap cost is reduced I believe. Both have had good seasons compared to majority of our squad. It’s just about getting the right deal from them. Reductions in what they’re on now. Could be massive in a salary cap sport. Similar with griffin, if cheap and no obvious replacements I’d give him another year.
Dwyer is too loose for me I think. Great going forward sometimes but is a liability in defence and has the brain farts where he scoots on 5th (like he did against hudds).
For me, a fit Savelio is a no brainer but TS seems to disagree. We’d need a top replacement because lane has offered nothing.
