SKD should stay

[Rooster_6]

Yes Fergo is erratic but also brilliant.

This post isn't about Fergo, it's about the criticism of SKD's handling errors.

When compared with other outside backs he's about average.

Moga is the forgotten one in all of this, the kid is the real deal and will prove a lot of people wrong in the next couple of years.

I agree. And I hope we keep him to cash in on what will be coming down the track with him.
I coached him in junior rep at a State Championship and would love to see him injury free wreaking havoc at the tricolours...

Keep SKD as well. We don't need Ferguson and the considerable baggage he totes....

[tri-hard]

We've got a great side - great united bunch of blokes - finally, so why Fark with it?

[stephenj]

agree totally, why **** it up now are we doing an alp impression?

Some here think the Easts team for 2014 will be as follows.
1 RTS
2 SKD
3 Jennings
4 Ferguson
5 Tupou
6 Maloney
7 Pearce
13 FPN
12 SBW
11 Cordner
10 Moa
9 Friend
8 JWH
Inter
14 Mortimer
15 Guerra
16 Aubs
17 O Donnell
18 Napa
19 Liu
20 Evans
21 Moga.

I can't see how we could fit Ferguson money wise. If I was the auditor and I saw our roster i'd be very dubious.

LOD would have to go as well, for Fergo to come it's either SKD gone or Mini and LOD gone.

I think LOD and Mini are gone. We already got rid of MK and a few others during the year.
There is talk of SKD being moved on.
The salary cap is going up as well by $450K next year plus he could play for cheap next year and then once SBW leaves, his salary will rise as the Dragons did with Gasnier.
There are options he can fit in.

SALARY CAP
------------
2013 - $5.85M
2014 - $6.3M
2015 - $6.55M
2016 - $6.8M
2017 - $7M

I realise.
I am just agreeing with the stats.

[tri-hard]

if he didnt break his jaw would anyone care if he got sacked? I bet if he plays next season like he did half this season most of the people here will be crying for him to be dropped agaib

There will be pressure on him to perforn - if he doesn't Moga will come in .

With the 200k for long service Mini won't and shouldn't cost us any cap space..

That's not true at all, Mini isn't the only one at the club eligible for the 200k long service entitlement.

The theory that he's costing us nothing is a myth.

I will tell you what the real myth was The one where you and many others on here said we could not win a competition with Mini at Fullback

Mini was the only one this year which may have helped him getting that extra year despite his bad form in 2012.

2014 we have more options with Maubs, SKD and there is an argument whether Pearce is eligible. He will definitely be eligible in 2015.

Or the one that you and many floated that the refs were gifting Souffs a premiership. That penalties would cost us dearly. See what hindsight does.

More importantly, hands up who signed that Anasta petition and who wanted him re-signed again for this year because he was a nice guy?
