32 Cousins, Ben  257 31yr 10mth
You think unless he can find a bit extra (Be it mind or injury holding him back) let him go. Would like to see him stay if he can find that bit more, just for the sake of showing some leadership skills to the troops.

5 Simmonds, Troy  196 31yr 9mth - Seeya

21 Tuck, Shane  114 28yr 4mth - Tucky is hard at it and leads by example in this area - something we lack - keep for mine.

17 Newman, Chris  159 27yr 11mth - They will keep him, would be tempted if GC would cough up a high pick to trade.

13 McMahon, Jordan  148 26yr 11mth - Toddles

40 Moore, Kelvin  71 26yr 1mth - Was very critical of moore early days and then saw something and he did step up, needs to do it again - keep.

28 King, Jake  42 26yr 1mth 26 - Hard nut, another GC may want to chase for a pick ?

6 Polak, Graham 26yr 6mth - Sorry, unless he grabs the chance with both hands if/when he is given the opp - seeya (Doubt he will)

Keep Tuck as well! Jury out on Cousins.
Very pleased to see him actually trying to get it to a team mate and we just need him around for his hardness.

How about we play McMuffin, give him three votes everytime and pray that GC take him.  ;D

If we don't try to trade one of Moore, McGuane and Thursfield we are mad. None are good enough to take on a key power forward, all would take 2nd and 3rd talls. I'd trade Thursfield first, who hasn't developed as I hoped. Moore would be second in preference due to his age.

Cousins, Simmonds and McMahon are worth nothing and will go.

Tuck and King may be of absolutely minimal value and may be traded otherwise keep Tuck but dump King.

Keep Moore and Newman as they are both in the leadership group and are average players so therefore some of our best at the moment  :whistle

Polak will more than likely go but I'll wait until I see him play a few weeks before I'm absolutely convinced.

Stripes can go too  :P

5 Simmonds, Troy  196 31yr 9mth - retire
21 Tuck, Shane  114 28yr 4mth - Most likely gone but could be kept as cannon fodder until the young guys make him totally superfluous.
17 Newman, Chris  159 27yr 11mth - stays
13 McMahon, Jordan  148 26yr 11mth - Gone!
40 Moore, Kelvin  71 26yr 1mth - stays unless a trade is half-decent.
28 King, Jake  42 26yr 1mth 26 - Gone!
6 Polak, Graham 26yr 6mth
- Gone.

Just goes to show we talk about our senior players standing up but most aren't worth a pinch bat turd and would be delisted or traded

Cousins if he can play should play. Adds leadership.

Moore and Newman should be used as trade bait and now that the club has shot its mouth off expect third round picks to magnify where we are currently as a club list wise.

The rest will be gawn. Maybe Tuck may get a reprieve if he keeps playing the way he is and just as an insurance policy while the kids hopefully bulk up more and thus make him obsolete.

I don't agree at all, its still too soon to make the call on Thursfield & McGuane, plus we have no one to replace them with unless we want to leak more goals than we are now. Moore is the most likely candidate to move on due to his age, however we need a few older bodies around like Moore.
