If he is so injury prone why would any other team take a risk on a quota player. To work with a smaller squad requires that the members of that team are of sufficient quality to make us competitive.
I regret to replace a quality centre with someone cheaper is not the answer and we can't keep filling the centres with back row forwards.we could of course play Gilmour he will be very inexpensive.
I note that he has been more loyal to the club than some of the supporters do to him. I am quite sure he could of found another club despite his so called injury record but he stayed and did help us survive this season.

Yes he's had injuries this year but when fit the bloke is all class and i'm not sure we can find anyone of suitable quality within our budget to replace him. Lauitiiti hasn't played many more games than him over the 3 years they have both been here yet everybody was wetting themselves on here when we signed him in on a deal to take him til he's 37. Why? Because he has the x factor. So does Collis. I'd rather we kept him unless there is a major rabbit to be pulled out of the hat to replace him.

I hope Carter rejects any bids from Cas/Leeds/Huddersfield because I am sick to death of us selling/letting go our players to our rivals. As for Collis' injuries half the squad last year kept picking up hamstring injuries.

He has actually only played 9 less games over three years than Ali, so I would suggest he is not yet a lost cause

Would be interested to know what hes paid . My theory is any overseas player that earns an extended contract usually is a decent earner after the original contract. If we could get a fee would Let him go as think could replace.

Cas have history of signing injury prone centres who on thief day are fantastic - jake Webster.

Someone on another thread has mentioned that Murphy is OOC this year?
If it could happen, would people see him back or keep Collis?
As for contract extensions, Collis was given one at the same time as Tim Smith and Kirmond, to stop clubs getting our players on the cheap when we were in the mire.
Ali's has been given to him when his current one is going to expire, so comparing the two contracts is a bit off the mark.
