You can almost scratch Moa off that list, we are struggling big time to keep him.
Also if Ferguson comes I'm pretty sure SKD would be gone too.
Either way we will be strong.
With SBW, Mini, Rueben, Moga, Langi, Seru, Rokolati, Houma, Kara, Naughton, L'Estrange all off contract or already leaving, Easts shouldn't have any trouble retaining and signing Isaac Liu, Moa, Proctor and Fergo.. We have some good unders 20's coming through for extra depth.

I would have thought the same,lets see how it pans out.

SBW , Mini and Moga's $ should alone be enough.. Not sure what the minimum $ is in 014 but it was $80K in 013, so that's another $640K minimum for the loses of Rueben, Langi, Seru, Rokolati, Houma, Kara, Naughton, L'Estrange..

SKD won't be going anywhere[long serving concessions will be due and Easts would be mad not to take the opportunity], He'll either play outside of Fergo or Moga... depending on Who is here in 014?

But we have to replace those minimum wage players. We can't have a squad of 19.

You've miss read my post, If its $640k minimum for the remaining 8 considering Rueben, Langi, Seru, L'Estrange.. were signed and most likely on more than the minimum? If Easts signed Proctor and Fergo? they would be covered by the 2 minimum $ plus anything that the players lost would have been getting above the minimum including the $ left from Mini, SBW and Moga..
To retain Liu, Moa and Sign Proctor and Fergo, Easts should shit it in...
In a blow to the Melbourne Storm, Kiwi Test star Kevin Proctor is set to quit the club as he mulls over a $1.5 million bid from the Roosters to replace Sonny Bill Williams.
I thought we would be right with backrow options? There has to be a better play than Proctor out there. We have to replace SBW with a real superstar and I don't think Proctor is the option. However, I have faith in our system, it has proved itself in the last year or 2.
The last fuzzy wussy second rowers on similar deals where Adam Blair and Willie Mason. Gee they ended well.
Goodbye to Sam Moa i guess, our most consistent player this year. Why do we always get caught up in bidding wars and paying overs. Proctor is nothing special.

Surely we can't keep a player purely based on long service concessions, unless they are the calibre of SBW, folau etc. I've been impressed with SKD this year and of keeps this form up, he definitely should be re-signed.
I'd hate to lose Moga but
Proctor will be worth every cent. Mark my words, this bloke will thrive under Robbo.
And if we've re-signed Liu, Moa may be heading off to richer pastures. And good luck to the massive man. I quote a reporter on Sam Moa, "He's 105 kgs and 85 of that is heart".
I couldn't wish the bloke more luck if he decides to grab the green.
