Not many there that you'd want to keep past their contract. A handful at best.
Shaun Blore the man the myth the blore
don't think he makes it

I think Blore will be fine once he gets some consistent time on the field.

at present he seems to be living on a hit on Nathan Brown. I have my doubts hope I am wrong

Na, I look at his defensive efforts last year. really strong defensive player. Needs to show more of a running game but I'm confident that will come.

Im not keen on Staines but if thats the price we pay to get Ciraldo, Im in.

I think that his focus might be more on the thankless and unenviable daily grind of rehab and recuperation.Shaun has what it takes!
I too have high hopes for Shawn. His injuries are a worry, just can’t stay on the field poor bloke.
Looking at this years squad there is only 6 or so players I would make some effort to keep and that’s being generous.

After that ...you've got until the end of the season to prove you are a keeper ...if not ...front door is over their ...don't care if it hits you on the way out

I think of them more in tiers - and I'm somewhat pragmatic about knowing we need at least 17 players. They're ranked roughly in importance.

Fairly fair assessment.
Kenny M has been one of our best for a number of games with his hard metres out of trouble. But he has had a couple of shockers too.
Where do you place Jimmy Roberts?

I missed him because he wasn't on the original list. He's 2nd tier. He's like Ken, had a couple of good games but a few shockers as well. In his defence, he and Nofo have been starved of ball due to our propensity to play right to left (and being outside of Luc).
