But we knew this coming into the season didn't we?

certainly seemed that way at the start of the year, maybe the hooking spot though is the real surprise with Liddle being out a lot due to injury.

I have no doubt that that will be the case.
Not sure some (first three on your list) of the players you mention will be easy to move on.

Eisenhuth is a bench player at good NRL clubs

Looking at the list in another way:
Contract finishes end of:
2018- Godinet, MWZ, Sue, Grant & Marshall
2019- Lolohea, Chee-Kam & McIlwrick
2020- McQueen
Five will / can be out of roster at seasons end.
McQueen remains an issue- I wonder if we just have to plonk him in the starting 17 each NRL match for rest of season, since our season looks to have hit the wall, and he either makes it or he realises his neck injury is not allowing him to play properly and he hopefully retires.

Im in no way against Benji, however I have serious doubt he will be extended beyond end of this season- at least on the playing field. He has done a good job for us.

As far as I’m concerned we are in a results driven business (competition), I support the Tigers 100% and if they are getting results as they were at the beginning of the year you have my support as a player. On the other hand if you are not getting results than I’m afraid you have to go (as a player) and bring someone in that can get results ….. aim for the stars so you can reach the moon.
I don’t hope for success I demand it and I’m sick of our supporters accepting anything else.
This year as far as the salary cap is concerned started fresh and we should expect to be in the finals otherwise this year is a FAIL.

You can only move on whose off contract, and then you can only really replace with players who are on similar money and hope you unearth 3 or 4 Corey Thompson’s. Pretty unlikely.

We still need to sign depth players.

So, things to remember for next year:
* MBye is coming to plug our fullback hole
\
* We lost Suli, Milne, already this year, and Kev is going at the end of the year also. (Suli was reportedly on about $430m)
\
* I'm assuming we will release Godinet, and Sue OR Grant (but probably not both as replacement props are hard to come by and they are good for depth
\
* We are looking likely to extend a couple of ISP players this year into our Top 30, giving us more money to front load for next year
\
* Realistically, with 6 or 7 players going (Suli, Milne, Kev, Godinet, Sue/Grant, Benji?, +??), we will have around $1.4m++ left from this year front loaded, and about another $1.2m from those guys leaving
\
* MBye cost around $600k, so that's $2m over 5 or 6 players - enough for depth and probably 2 more first class high profile players
I haven't given up on this year, but after today's performance, I find myself looking for some positives somewhere, and improving our roster seems the logical conclusion.
Can't disagree with this.
All duds.
Twal is the best.
