You could be right and if Guisett were to leave I think it owuld be a shame for him as he came in when we needed him most and did well at the time. No room for sentiment in this sport though!
I did a quick tot up of those players I think we will have if no one leaves who will be on over £20K a year. We would have 23 such players if no one left at the end of the season. The list is:
Rads,Dallas,David V,Aspy,Carney,Richards,Brown
Orr,Moran,Lockers,Hock,Tickle,Hansen,Fletcher
Wild,Botham,Newton,Godwin,Feca,Logan,Sculthorpe
Seuseu,Guisett
So we have got to lose three players to fit under the 20/20.
Given when people talk of Aspy leavuing they expect him replaced with another new signing we already seem stuck for places on the 20/20 for that.
The only way out I can see is to get Carney out on loan (1), not offer Botham a deal (2), let Brown leave as he has knocked back a contract offer(3) or Wild goes instead of Brown. Botham has been talked up by Millward so I am not even sure if that is on the agenda so it could be Wild and Brown!
Finnally looking at the above the pack should be able to batter anyone but the backs look less impressive as we do need a new centre.

Logan is still only a rumour in the WEP, as is 'Feca'. I'll wait till we see them actually signing.
As far as another centre goes, surely that's where Richards will play, now that we know BC is staying? Which leaves no place for either Aspi or Wild, except as cover.
Most of us, I think, felt we were short of one prop at the start of this season, even before Davico's injury. The other top clubs (and we would still be a top club, if it wasn't for our injury list) all have four "real" props (i.e. not second rows moving up).
Seuseu, Scully, Paaaaaaleaaaaaaaaaaasinaaaaaa and Logan would be those four...the others, including Fletcher, are second rows.
