13 players out of contract at the end of the season, you don't really need any information just a bit of imagination to make it up as they go along

So going by that theory shall we get shut of Lyne as well then given they have played about the same number if games in the last 12 months? May as well get shut of Kirke, Molloy, Ashurst and Annakin too whilst we are having a clear out they have missed more than they have played as well. Sorry but if we are to have a chance of staying up then we need to have players who can something that others can't. Collis is a quality centre and many good judges in the game say the same. He was ever present before his freak injury and hasn't missed a game since he came back. Where exactly would we get a like for like replacement at this point of the season?

Can't remember Collis ever being on the bench, either from the start of the game or during it.

I agree. Getting rid of Collis now would be scandalous.

Reece Lyne isn't much better for missing games.



Dean Collis:

2012 - 20 Games / 28 Games

2013 - 24 Games / 27 Games

2014 - 9 Games / 27 Games

2015 - 9 Games / 14 Games



Total 62 / 96 = 64.5% of games.





Reece Lyne:

2013 - 16 Games / 27 Games

2014 - 19 Games / 27 Games

2015 - 9 Games / 14 Games



Not sure where this "Collis Out" Club has come from, but hes is a real talent and I'd be doing my best to keep him on board.

Hes also one of the best defenders in our team!

Can't agree fully with the defending part, he often runs out of the line and leaves his winger vulnerable if he can't complete the tackle.

In all honesty we only have three players that can break a defensive line.



Tim Smith with his pass, which at the moment isn't quite firing

Dean Collis when he gets outside his man and slips a pass out of teh back door

Ali when he runs at the line and can get a ball free



Everyone else feeds of these three.

Godinet?

Totally agree and that is part of our problem . It's often said that attack is the best form of defence but when your limited in that department and have a shocking defence as well it's no wander we're where we are!

Surely Godinet does, near the line he's quite lethal given half a chance.

Ok I agree on Godinet too with his scoots from dummy half

You probably didn't mention him because we just don't see enough of him!

You forget our best player this season , McShane. There are many reasons why our defense has been so poor for last three years, poor coaching, poor game plan, poor line speed, poor players, poor technique, no leg tackling, lake of desire, aggression and pride and a lack of accountability for poor play, plus players out of position and poor selection. The new coach has an easy job, our defense is so poor that it will be easy to improve.
