After we lose 5 this year , we won’t have too many left and most of the kids at this stage are below the level of ordinary , I suspect  we will have a lot more heartache  without these premiership players. Unless we have a better option they will stay on the list to at least look after the kids.
After we lose 5 what vets? including McIntosh.  we still have 5 left.

Given the 4 trades we are talking about and the retirements that have already been announced and not including any Delistings as none have been announced we have 26 players aged 23 thr 30 plus. There are plenty and far too many ordinary players left to look after the kids.

I really do not get this kind of thinking.

As it stands right atm with age the criteria our starting 22 would go

Vlastuin 30 - Young 26 - Miller 25
Broad 31 - Balta 25 - Short 29

HRS  23 - Hopper 28 - McIntosh 30
Nankervis 30 - Taranto 27 - Prestia 32

Mansell 24 - Koschitzke 24 - Cumberland 24
MRJ   23  -  Lynch 32  -  Lefau 26

Dow 23 - Coulthard 23 - Blight 23 - Ryan 24.

EMG OH-B 24 - Colina 25

Most of the 23 plus year olds are below the standard losing one who is 30 won't hurt our kids one little bit.

I don’t know what you’re talking about, listing a whole lot of players who are lucky to get on the park or lucky to get a game in the twos is just taking the P!55  :lol

I thought it was self explanatry. We were talking about McIntosh and the so called need to keep him.
Your post actually makes the perfect argument for why he needs to go.

Ive just shown you the list of our older players and what an ordinary list. It doesn't matter if we cut McIntosh there is still plenty of older ordinary types there. Or do you need your special glasses on to see that. You keep kidding yourself  thinking  we need to keep him.
 Its certainly not for his age or experience or how well he plays the game. He's only going to sell what ever kids we have into trouble and likely even take games off them when we most need to play em.

lmao - good ol' claw more excited for the delistings than the draft.... :shh

Lol at the dig. I would not go so far as saying im excited by delistings more relieved when such obvious hacks actually do get the chop.

Outside the 4  that have already gone and the other 4 that want out.
Based on improvement or not next year. I count another 21 players who should be in the gun.

They need to improve and they are all either at an age or been around long enough for that to happen. Atm they would be reasonably easy to get an upgrade on. In that 21 i'm including the likely retirements of Lynch and Prestia.

We do love our ordinary role players at tigerland. And we do defend to ridiculous levels anyone who has been drafted by us weather they perform or not.

Wasn't it you who said we cant cut too many this year because we won't have any to cut next year. Dont worry your tiny little brain about it,  there will be plenty for the chopping block we may need to get a Guillotine to make the cuts clean and easy.

if you know his family story you may understand why the club thinks he is a leader, as previously said he will stay until another proves they are better.

Big chance we lose Balta to free agency, Lefau's  27next year and a stop gap...Mansell, Banks & Campbell will be playing for Tassie....Gibcus no guarantee with his injury history,  HRS really ain't that good.........Clarke in the delist gun for next year and if we nail the drafts KMac2 & Ross will likely be pushed even further back in the pecking order.... :shh

End of next year....will get huge offers too and we could head into the draft with pick 1 & 2 and possibly a priority pick as well if we only win 1 or 2 games again... :shh

That's great. :banghead

Then you know we are truly stuffed and yze can leave with him.

He would be our highest player likely a million. If he turns that down and leaves we are stuffed.

Said it in another thread a month or so ago. Can defs see balta leaving through FA, doesn’t strike me as someone who would think twice if he got offered a monster deal elsewhere.

I'm in the opposite camp regarding Balta

Very confident he will stay and wouldn't be at all surprised if an extension is announced sometime be fore mid season 2025.

Seems to be alot of jumping at shadows at the moment  ;D

I agree with WP, I can't see him going. For what? More money, we will be able to match anything with our state in the cap. For success he's already a premiership player.

If he leaves we will get decent compo. All part of the rebuild.

Clarke on delist list is madness. The rest of they leave for Tassie can be replaced. Think you'll find many Tassie boys like the idea of playing at big clubs and are keen to leave the state.
