Who Would You Let Go, you can only pick 1

So under salary cap pressure etc etc in a hypothetical scenario we could not afford to keep the spine we have, so taking into consideration price the question is when 1 has to go who would you pick? please just one of the four (I understand people would like to chuck them all out but I think it's a very good spine.

King Gutho asking for $900,000 plus

M Moses $900,000

D Brown $750,000

R Mahoney $650,000

*the prices are based on current earnings and asking prices.

For me and this hurts a lot but Gutho above $750,000 is out, if he had speed to burn I would keep him for $900,000+! but if I had a choice Id just get another set of books and build a winning culture.

*this is not factual just a ponder to the future..

  • Gutho and Brown asking for 900k and 750k respectively is all bullshit. Gutho knows he is worth a max 800k and Dylan is worth a max of 600k currently. But If was to follow your scenario I would have to pick Moses or Mahoney because there are a lack of good quality halfbacks and hookers in the NRL. 

  • wasnt there janother blog the same just a day or so ago????????????????

  • We can afford all 4 no problems if we want to. None of them are regular representatives or game winners by themselves. Each one at most is worth $750k. 

    For the $1mil price tag you can bring in a game changing player. So if they don't like what they are offered they can leave but I see them all signing up with no issues.  

  • It depends on how loyal they are. Moses is done so he can be removed from the equation.

    We are definitely going to be looking for a new 9 as back up for Reed or maybe a replacement further down the track. I like the look of Erin Clark from the titans.

    I think Gutherson is the one who is most replaceable and probably has the least bargaining power. Perhaps we could save a few dollars there?

    For mine Dylan needs to be kept and I would go further to keep him on the books. The sort of player you build a successful club around.

  • Sorry if this is a repeat of a blog, didn't see it and I check everyday, EA does Gutho's management know his a $600-$800k player

  • I'm sorry but Gutho over 900? No thanks. He's out. Not worth it.

    Keep Mahoney, Moses already re-signed and keep D Brown. Kid is the best defensive half in the comp, has speed to burn, can only get better. Mark my words!

    • ParraPride Im with you mate, I even think last contract was paying overs, Imagine Parra with a fullback the Quality of Gutho and speed to burn, I do think Gutho has won us a ton of games and love hiw he makes players play better just wish he was fast, we'd win more

    • Edwards is another similar to Gutho, but they don't need to get rid of their spine because they have x-factors with speed and skill around the backline. To'o, Crichton, Staines, Burton (even though he leaving next year). Our backline has been so shit and slow, sivo, opacic, oldfield, just to name a few.

       

      Once Dunster and Penisini got the last couple of games, we've looked more mobile and dangerous. Ferguson is playing better too cause he has the confidence his inside centre (penisini) will cover well and for only a couple of games in the top grade, he's been a star!
