I have always thought that when talking about depth, it is better to offer a young bloke the chance to step up, than to hold onto someone who has proven that they are not up to it.
That is why I was stunned when Godinet was signed. MCK has proven he is a reserve grader,able to fill a hole in 1st grade when asked for limited minutes. I agree that there a couple of other that should be moved on. I would like to see Felise given an opportunity before being written off.

Pretty sure it was a 3 year deal at around $300k per season. Could be wrong….

The guys on little money are easy to move on as they see their chances elsewhere.
AS someone pointed out, its very hard to move on like McQueen, Chee Kam who are on "ok" money, as noone else will really want to pay them anything besides bare minimum. McQueen can either decide to take everything hes been offered and spend 3 years in reserve grade earning 400k, or he may feel he wants to play higher grade footy and seek a deal overseas.
Agree with OP though, practically all of them have to go. MWZ is okay, but if he is on one wing, we need an out and out speedstar on the other.

IC should play McQueen at prop in the NRL playing long minutes.

Hopefully he can then medically retire. win/win.
Agree with this list
The following players have no future IMO with the Tigers, they should be punted after this year:
Lolohea
McQueen
Chee Kam
Godinet
Malaka
Mcillwrick
Sue
Grant
Benji
We need to recruit a top shelf:
Second rower (someone like Tyson Fizzell)
Winger (pace to burn)
Centre (can set up a winger and create tries. solid in defence)
Hooker (still have hope for Liddle but need a back up)

No idea re money, but you are correct on the length.

It comes down to what you are paying blokes. From the list above if MWZ is on a near minimum contract, I would keep him as a ISP/depth player. Similar with Benji. If we can get him for under 250k would keep him for the role he was intended to play this year, back-up/mentor/benchi utility.
The others are either bog average and not worth a minimum contract, or would want much more than the minimum.

MWZ has done nothing to warrant not being re-signed. We need depth players, and he’s fine in that role.
@ said:
So you are saying get rid of 9 players and we need to recruit 4 players. What about the other 5 replacements we need.
Don't disagree with your cuts except, guess you mean Malakai not Malaka{totally different kettle of fish}who has done everything asked of him and we do not need a hooker (unless it is for 2018 only).
All very well to say cut these people - who are the replacements; pretty sure everyone knows what we need but who are they? Someone said Frizzel type - good but who is it.
Just naming people that are contracted and happy at their respective clubs is just "pie in the sky stuff"
Not having a go at you "Tigerap" but people have been saying all year we need RTS, Holmes, Roberts etc. we had no chance of these players.
Saying we need this type of player etc. means nothing.
Let's - if we are talking about replacements, talk about players off contract or players Clubs are shopping around, that is being realistic.
We also need 30 players for next year, not just 17.

Ages added for relevance:
I would put a line through 3 or 4 of them based on that, and added a few more for consideration. There is plenty available, is just a matter of how much we are prepared to offer & what opportunity they will get here as opposed to their current clubs.
Grass is always greener..
Would rather concentrate on attracting seasoned NRL players than swapping numpty's for numpty's…
Of course the quality has to want to come..with Ivan we shouldn't have a problem..a turnover of a 1/3rd of the roster is not unusual..
