@helmesy you beat me to it 👍 Austin Dias gone ….
I think it’s a good move him, he’ll likely see more game time than staying here.

So, departures from 2022 squad(s):
Tamou, Tuilagi, Garner, Kei, Pauga, Madden, Roberts, Liddle, Musgrove, and Dias.
Possible further exits: Brooks, Peachey and Simpkins.
Big clean out.

@helmesy This is the only way to turn things around ,it’s a gamble as you have to sign better than your losing .I would like to see Nofoaluma shown the door as his attitude sucks !
Next season shaping up to be interesting New coaches and staff a big player turnover and still some surprises in that respect to come the COE will also be a positive .
@helmesy is it Simpkin potentially leaving or simpkins the second rower ?
where is Dias heading ?
Does anyone know which NSW Cup players have been released/retained?
I dont think any of them matter to be honest. They were very disappointing. There are no stars there. The future stars are in the lower grades.

Yep, more than a third of the squad and the only one Im slightly nervous about leaving is Brooks. Says a lot about our squad.
@helmesy it really does make you think Sheens has no intention of playing Hastings at 7
@tiger5150 I must say after the 21 season it all seemed to fall apart and quickly ,the younger talent needs to be brought up pretty quickly if possible.
@jedi-tiger Spot on Hastings is the 13 , Noddy did not put him there and at 13 the team looked totally different and in a good way .The halves are a real issue AD is no half and Brooks is ineffective though solid . IMO a new 7 and 6 need to be brought on board probably not next season but 24 a must .
@tiger5150 Better to bite the bullet now if circumstances prevail , the team needs to move on from Brooks his time at the club has ended only in my opinion of course .
@tiger5150 It says more about the coach for the last 3 seasons ..no one player improved many went backwards!
@snake good point also in saying that makes you wonder if Sheens sees Hastings as the 13 and if so on what money.
He may well be thinking Nathan Brown to 13 AD to centre and the club takes Brooks and Hastings cash to go an buy a new 6 and 7 altogether

IMO Nathan Brown doesnt have the motor any more for 13. Benchie IMO.
