Champion yes, if Taka or Hoppa are unavailable he is a good option. If Morgan goes, who are we going to play there? Folau? Toutai? Champion is experienced & would give us good back up. Taka/Wicks already extended their deals. Would keep Robinson, he is our #2 winger behind Semi? Don't see Folau as a winger, Faraimo is good depth as Champion is. Probably keep Nelson, he showed promise on Saturday. Fa'aoso - definitely not. We will probably let go of Morgan, Lussick, Fa'aoso, Pauli (?), Sandow (?). That frees up a lot of $$ even just on Sandow/Lussick/Morgan who were on big $. Matterson also may go someone mentioned and he was top 25. In all honesty I'd keep Kelly he has done okay for us this year when called upon. Rather him than Matterson who has done nothing all year.
Out of the off contract crew I personally would like to see us re-sign pauli, hoppa, Morgan, Alvaro, Robinson and Kelly unless we sign another back up half which it sounds like we have.
Not champion, he can't be relied on as a back-up as he's too injury prone. Robinson would be a very handy back-up player, can play on the wing and fill-in at fullback.
