If he is going, I hope he makes his decision very soon so we can start talking to a replacement player for him. Not necessarily a forward either. I know William Hopoate and Gareth Widdop are both off contract and they would make pretty good replacements for Mini. Alternatively, a hardworking forward in the mould of Fensom, Luck, Tolman, Gallen and the like would be nice.

We have enough back rowers, I get the feeling we will keep the good ones and toss the rest, leaving us with a lot of money in times to come.

LOYAL Sydney Roosters forward Nate Myles has pledged to see out the remaining 18 months of his contract as the club seeks to repair its image.
Spotted in secret negotiations with Gold Coast Titans chief executive Michael Searle 10 days ago, Myles has re-affirmed his commitment to the Roosters.
The Titans have emerged as heavy hitters on the NRL open market, luring Bulldog Jamal Idris and Shark Luke Douglas north next season.
Myles is next on the Gold Coast hit list but the Queensland Origin forward has ruled out a return home to the Sunshine State - for now.
"I'm contracted until the end of next year with the Roosters and my focus right now is to perform and play well for the boys," he said.

"I love all the boys at the club, they're the reason why I re-signed last time.
"I've got enough to worry about here at the moment without getting caught up in what might be happening a fair way down the road.
"The Roosters and my own form are my biggest concern. I don't rate my form at all.
"That's harsh, but I expect more of myself. The last two games I've improved, but I'm looking to contribute a fair bit more."
In a wide-ranging interview ahead of tomorrow's Anzac Day clash with premiers St George Illawarra, Myles opened up about:
* The Roosters' team meeting aimed at addressing the club's damaged culture;
* Why he'll always be there for teammate Todd Carney;
* How Anzac Day ranks alongside grand final and State of Origin matches; and
* The Roosters' erratic opening to the season and his own poor form.
There is no camouflaging what has been a torrid seven days for the Roosters.
The image the club fought so hard to rebuild last year has again been sullied in the aftermath of Anthony Watts and Carney being caught out on another bender.
As they bunkered down at the club's Moore Park headquarters all week, the Roosters faced questions about the club's off-field issues rather than the positive news angle of the grand final re-match against the Dragons.
"We did get together and speak. A lot of the boys are really trying their hardest on and off the field and it just seems to be the one or two slip-ups from the repeat offenders that drag that down," Myles said.
"We worked hard last year on getting a good culture at the Roosters and we want to keep that going. We know what needs to be done."
Myles was candid on the subject of Carney.
"I've had a couple of yarns to him. He came around the other day and we had a good chat and I had another long chat with him [Friday] night on the phone," Myles said.
"I only want to see him back on the field if he's fit and healthy in all departments."
There is no better stage for the Roosters to silence their critics than against the team who trumped them in last year's grand final.
"We don't hate the Dragons, but we owe a good performance against them," Myles said. "Anzac Day is an amazing day. It takes your breath away. It really is a great occasion and one of the true highlights of the year."
