  We will keep them both, Keating will sign for peanuts and Morts wont take too much, his next contract will be the big one

  Here's my take on Mortimer. I think he'll say because even if he did want to go to the Dogs, it's not the right time for him. He would go over there under a heap of pressure when he really should be concentrating on just solidifying his place in the NRL. I don't think Kimmorley will retire next year either - he's just going to well and Ben Roberts has another year on his contract. I think the Dogs will go with Kimmorley/Roberts for another two years. A Roberts/Mortimer halves combination would disastrous for them, to be frank.
  
  The length of the contract will be interesting. I imagine the Mortimer camp will want two years. Enough for him to mature and then go into a bidding war at the end of Kimmorley's contract.
  
  Neither Morts or KK will be on massive money so I don't see why we can't keep them both. Even with Morts/KK/Humble/Robson we would be spending significantly less on our halves than any team in the competition.
  
  Keeping Mateo is going to be the challenge. He has the kind of X factor that a side like the Bulldogs really needs.

    Mateo is gone after next year, no mention from either DA or Osborne about keeping him. They'll keep him next year to help us win the premiership then cya later...Im dreading 2011, a lot of players off contract then.

  I think both the club, coaches and fans will be in a far better position to muse on whom to keep and who is expendable mid-way through the 2010 season. Right now, all we're doing is basing our opinions on the 2009 team - a squad that exceeded expectations but not on the back of stellar seasons from any of KK, Mateo or Inu.
  
  If all three and Daniel Mortimer have uninterrupted seasons, everybody will be in a far more knowledgeable position to pass comment. And that is why I don't like the sound of the Daily Telegraph article which suggests that Parra, albeit reluctantly, are considering releasing Inu to the Warriors on the proviso they pay out the entirety of his $275k contract. http://www.dailytelegraph.com.au/sport/nrl/kiwis-must-pay-full-frei...
  
  The reality is that Inu is only contracted until the end of 2010 and if he proves the 'odd man out' as suggested by Josh Massoud, then don't renew his contract (thus freeing up funds to help secure Mortimer, KK and Mateo). In the meantime, surely his undoubted ability will give us a better chance of securing the title we all crave.
  
  Seems pretty simple to me...
