I think Wigan may come calling early for Clarke as Tautai as been done for drink driving and could be sent back to AUS according to this mornings daily mirror

Flower out now too. So long as they pay for him I’d let him go now

Take some money and let him go. No big loss to us at all.

Balls in our court then, we can make Wigan squirm if they want him now. They've certainly not done us any favours over the years.

Then potentially Millo retiring.
I also have doubts about Moors, Holmes and Gale.
As well as Rankin's situation.
Defo. Problem is none of these will be big earners. So how much does it leave us to play with to bring in the quality we need.

If by freshen up he means replace squad player with another I will be peed off big time.
How do you replace squad players with super stars without making the squad smaller, we all know dp like a big squad.
You cant, we need to run with a smaller squad and if injuries hit then use the youngsters.

We cant have it both ways. If we want to win owt were gonna need better than what we have now.

Lets be honest 2017 was the year for us to win the big one and we blew it. Yes Zak screwed us over but that Leeds team has to be the worst to appear in a GF ever so we still should have beat them even minus Zak.

Therefore our 13 needs improving.

Starting with a right winger and a prop to compliment Watts.

So far we have

Hepi for Clark

Olpherts for Minikin if true

"Freshening the squad" is an interesting turn of phrase that could be interpreted many ways but I would like to think DP may also consider freshening his recruitment policy. The "taking a punt" on players approach has fallen short this season so it may now be time to go big or go home!

The problem is we are paying him a full time contract and not playing him. Surely it's better to get him off the books to save on wages?

I know he's a Wigan player for 2020, but right now he's still a Cas player. Wigan and Lenegan think they're above everyone and can get what they want with a click of their fingers. They are apparently going all out to bring Mitch in for this season, I really hope we are giving them a big middle finger.

I hope we make decision based on sound business principles.
Cost verses potential savings.
Possible sewing descent in the camp is never good

Spot on mate the lack of class in the team is alarming we don't make breaks the passing at times would be a embarrassment to a amateur team for next season just to hold station we need 3 or 4 class signings major surgery rarther than freshening in my view as you say go big or go home

Eden needs to be added to the list of players who can go, absolute abomination of a player.

I don’t really get the criticism of Eden.
I wasn’t impressed when we signed him, but I think he’s done well during his time at the club. Whilst he’s not been playing in a team creating oodles of chances, I think his kick-returns and defensive play has actually been better this year than it was in 2017 or 2018.
Wingers will very rarely look good in teams who are struggling and they will always be exposed defensively as the last man.

Thought his catching was superb tonight.
Some of snyeds kick offs were going all over the place but Eden was there taking them all.
His runs out of defence, you just can’t knock tonight.
And a try in top of that.

My MOM by far.
