Have Koups and Jaubs been released?

[Johnny Tobin]

I have no doubt that if we didn't buy the prick we would of won three straight. The Fittler and Wing combo was brilliant.

Fittler and Thurston would have been better.

Thanks Ricky.

I'll have a stab at Kenny Dowall.

The Fan won't appreciate you doing his work.

[Headless Chook]

Because he is an overrated hack whose has shown a unique penchant to sponge off the efforts of others to obtain his statue in the game.

Chook.

Finch has a statue????

I knew he'd hit a few statues with his kicking and passing game, but didn't know he had one!

If Finch was a statue I wish I was a bird.

Don't underestimate the importance of Paul Green at Easts..

Without his injury in 2002, we would not have won the premiership...

Lol, so true.

I can say that the two players in question have been cut.

They needed to be.

They weren't winners. Nobody will miss them.

We need winners that bleed. For the fans.

Thanks for the update. I'm glad to hear it. I think with Watts coming there is no need for them. Too bad about Jaubs though. I thought he had a lot of potential.

I'm very eager to hear what happens with Phil Graham as well. I don't mind if he stays as we are pretty thin on wingers and centres. Hopefully, a couple of young blokes come good next year. I think Ford has potential.

Koops is going to French Rugby....

Good for him. Hope he makes some good cash and has the time of his life.

James Aubusson has already said that he is moving on and wont be staying due to salary cap problem. He is linked with a move to the dragons in 2011.

Koups, it dosnt look good for him with the signing of Anthony Watts

[Guest]

I think we need Graham as much as we need Ryles for this year. Although Masoe and Leilua can probably offer more than Ryles and Graham respectively in terms of aggression, impact and youthful exuberance, there is no substitute for experience.

I am also aware that Masoe and Leilua are both signed until 2012. Graham and Ryles are off contract at the end of 2011, and I don't see why they would need to be kept beyond then.

I think the next two years will be when guys like Masoe, Linnett, Friend, Kennedy, Hargreaves, and hopefully one of Cherrington, Tasi or Arona really come of age, much in the way that Aubusson, Nuuausala, SKD, Carney and co. did over this year.

[Guest]

Yes, i think use Graham and Ryles next year to help the younger guys such as, Martin Kennedy, Mose Masoe, Joseph Leilua, Kane Linett and Anthony Cherrington.

But we dont really need Ryles and Graham after next year.

We have got the best juniors in the game and after a bit of experience they will fire and we will have the best team for years to come.

2011 is year of the ROOSTERS
