[Mister Wright]

2010 Players I would let go:

Steve Michaels, depending on form Gerard Beale & Josh Hoffman

2010 Priorities (in order)

McCullough
Te'o
Sims
McGuire

2011 Players I would let go:

Obviously Lockyer won't re-sign. Other than that, it's too early to say.

Priorities (in order)

Hodges
Thaiday
Parker
Hunt
Copley

(Judge others as time passes)

 

[Bucking Beads]

I'd give myself a great big uppercut!!

 

[Clintos]

Gotta resign Lingwoodock next year. That kid is a star.

2010:
- I would have given Joel a bit more time - but not sure how it all went down so...
- No room for Michaels and too early for a comment on Beale but not a big fan of him so far
- I would want Hoffman to stay but wouldn't offer him big money

2011:
Hodges - wonder if he'll be hard to keep... he'll be looking for a big contract and if any of the top teams offer him good dosh
Hunt - With T Smith gone obviously ...
Parker - I don't think he should be the leader of our pack but he's a great club player... wouldn't offer him big money but nothing undercut either.
Thaiday - would not offer his massive money. I like him but he's not a yardage type forward and at times I feel that you're shortening your forwards because someone else has to make the extra metres... it is not all about stats but his style of play and what he's worth.... because since he is a big name he would warrant big money...

[Clintos]

2010 - Re-sign Hoffman, McGuire, McCullough, Te'o and use money to get some props from other clubs.
2011 - Re-sign Copley, Hala, Hodges, Hunt, Lingwoodock, Parker, Thaiday.

Of course all of this is pretty dependent on offers from other clubs, and if we are financially able to match them.

 

[Bucking Beads]

I really don't think you can make a decision on the under 20's who are contracted until 2011 until mid next year at least. I have a few of our young guys are going to be stars. Also Dane Gagai has huge wraps.

Well Mr Mimis we do not have that much available to fit Ben into our salary cap as I am sure you'll understand but I would still be very keen to meet with yourself and Ben to discuss a possible contract for 2011 and beyond. Ben has been at this club before and enjoyed his time here and I am sure we would be able to offer him something worth considering at least.

 

[Kaz]

We could build Ben his own Morman Church & each week we can donate $1000, for his MOTM performance, even if he doesn't play he will still be MOTM.

 

[Jeba]

Mr Mimis, if it helps, I can see what I can do about banning Kaz from BHQ.
