Great news! Wouldn't have thought I'd be saying this but I'd be happy to let Bodene go now. For all his upside I'd prefer Halatau along with the likes of Siro, Sita and Sue.
Really building a team this year!

Or perhaps they have some inside info that Kidwell will be taking over the reins next year? We've got a lot of young Kiwis coming through and re-signing at the moment and I imagine that Kidwell would be someone that these guys would look up to. Pure speculation on my part, of course, but it just seems weird that these re-signings are taking place, one after another, during such a tumultuous time at the club with regards to the future of our head coach.

If Ava improves at the same rate he has improved from 2013 to 2014 he could be a massive plus in 2015
We probably just need to work on Ava's lateral movement in the off season

Good news and another positive shot in the arm which we sorely need at the moment. Hopefully Ava continues to improve next year and can stick around for awhile longer.

Probably, he thinks his performances will continue to improve, as they have done over the last 12 months UNDER THE CURRENT COACHING SYSTEM!

Doubt it. What if he does his ACL in the first game of the yr and he nothing secured for the following yr? He's been advised pretty poorly by his manager if so, cos you would think he'd want to get as much security as possible, especially when he's still trying to establish himself.
Maybe the uncertainty in the coaching role played a part as well

I don't see what others see in him, he isn't someone who will step up when the team needs him to eg. Woods, Gavet, Taupau…
I think it is the other forwards make him look bad, I rate Lodge as a much better player, the kid will be an amazing player one day and we are lucky to have Woods/Lodge.

I have to disagree with you on that one Milky. Woodsy steps up when we need it, Taupau is good for one bustling 40m run a game but Ava is consistent 10m+ output every hit up. Less downside compared to Taupau and Gavet in my opinion too. I'd have him over Gavet easily at this stage.
Haven't seen enough of Graham or Lodge to comment but I'd say if anyone goes it'd be Keith and/or Bodene. 2016 pack of Woods, Farah, Seumanufagai, Sironen, Akauola and Halatau, with a bench of Taupau, Gavet, Sue and someone else, maybe Santi or Brown depending on development.
