So as this year nears its end, hopefully the coaches will have held talks with who they want back next year. Although I think we will slide down the table due to injuries we can’t overlook we will probably have our highest finish and winning the conference by a landslide it’s been our best season by far. So who do we want back?
Gauthier - yes Schaber - yes Mosey - yes (I’d have him on the 3rd) Heelis - undecided Leblanc - not for me Bloodoff - yes Stockton - no Finnucci - undecided Isaacs - think he’s a given regardless Jorgenson - no Young - yes Moyer - yes Birzins - like him but think there’s better Iles - yes
So basically keeping the bulk of imports replacing a handful with some physicality for me, not an enforcer but just some bigger stronger guys like Cardiff have in their line up.
Brit wise, they’ll all be back I would imagine, I would like to see at least 1 extra proven Brit added to the team that the coaches know is good enough to play regular minutes, it’s pointless having guys on the bench if they don’t use them when needed.

I think that you could make a case for almost every one of them to return. That won't happen though as some will move on and to freshen up the team and try to improve again some changes should be made.
I'd be happy to keep the majority, whatever permutaion that may be, with perhaps 4 or 5 new faces. Making sure we get Ian Young signed up would be my priority.

I hope all the imports are asked back they all deserve to be asked back However they wont all comeback so chances for new faces I think you might see Ryan Dingle back as cant see Danny getting another season at Coventry

Ryan Dingle with this lot would have been a riot. Our fault he wasn't here?

Are you suggesting we cannot improve. I just hope we get back the best players in our opinion

Surprised at OP not wanting Le-Blanc back. I wasnt his biggest fan when he first came as he was off the pace big time. But he got up to speed and became an important player for us with his creativity and reading of the game. Its hard to see some of our top performers coming back as may get offered more lucrative contracts elsewhere but really hope we get Gauthier back for next season.

No or undecided on 4 of our top 6 point scorers? They all deserve to be asked back. I wonder what might have been had they been kept fitter and fresher by icing the Brits when possible throughout the season...

Iles Young Moyer (If hes still got the legs for it) Isaacs Schaber Gauthier Bloodoff Heelis Leblanc Stockton Mosey
I'm neither up or down about Birzins or Finucci both been good players for us this year but if we want to improve we need to get rid of one or two. If they happen to be back i'd be happy enough with that.
Jorgensen Correale Ramsay
I think we can do better than Jorgenen and the other 2 were brought in as spares. Doubt we will be running 16 imports next year unless we really need to.

Get on the phone to Dingles agent with an offer now, as others have said the damage this team would have caused with him in the lineup..

I am almost in total agreement with Flyer 1990. I do think what has been proven is that we need to improve our Brits as Todd obviously has no faith in them and as a result this has been a big factor in recent results where we are playing imports short. Would like to see us push the boat out and try to sign Cownie and Moore, releasing Scoon and Beattie would probably pay for one of them. I would like to see most of the imports back with the exception of Correale, Ramsay and Jorgensen. Would only have Moyer back if we can reduce his ice time. I think budget wise we might struggle tho as the budget signings ( Mosey, Birzins, Finucci and Isaacs ) have all done well so might command a higher wage which in turn may affect the budget for the top end signings.

Surprised to see Finucci being an undecided, he's top points scorer for us this year, had a fantastic season. You can make a case for each and every one of them returning, although my gut feel, we'll probably see 6 or 7 at best simply due to guys moving on as happens every season.

Iles Young Schaber Gauthier Finucci Bloodoff
I would be happy with a couple of others such as Mosey and Heelis too. I think a couple of younger bigger D men would help. Leblanc and Stockton are players who although very decent I think we should be looking at improving on. Dingle would supplement them well particularly the speedy forwards like Bloodoff and Finucci as well as his backchecking and PK ability.
