  Shacks? Poore? Horo?

  They're starting to look like the Canterbury Eels over there.

  Ryan Morgan? Des would have him playing for Australia at the end of the year.
  
  Here is our off contract listing for this year:
  Cheyse Blair, Jon Mannah, Joseph Paulo, Daniel Penese, Matthew Ryan, Troy Savage, Ken Sio, Nathan Smith, Jordan Atkins, Luke Burt, Casey McGuire, Fuifui Moimoi, Justin Poore, Shane Shackleton
  
  I would retain Blair, Paulo, Ryan, Sio & Moi Moi.
  I think McGuire will reitre and Burt may retire or head to the UK (he could really make some coin) and Mannah would not be signing with another club.
  That leaves Penese, Savage, Smith, Atkins, Poore & Shacks. Out of that list Smith came from the Dogs so he could want out? Atkins is another quality back they maybe interested in since their backline is screwed with injuries and Michael Lett left to work in the mines. Poore and Shacks would be targets if they lose Kasiano?

    Spoken to Burt and his parents - England will never happen - Too much for a young family to locate there. Given Cleal's expertise it is more likely to be a young player.

  If it's a Wenty player who cares? if he can't crack a spot in our top side he ain't that good.

  Very true PM, very true!
  
  It could be anyone really. Quite a few of our players have links with the dogs.
  Contracted players such as Roberts, Tonga & Maitua all played for the club and both Barba and Keating have brothers playing there.

    Matt Keating isn't going anywhere, and to @Spartan_Eel below, Matt Ryan's not going anywhere, either.
