Interesting analysis. Discussing trading players on the list is often controversial and emotion riddle. But Lyon has said that they want to get some higher draft picks, and we do need to keep looking for KPPs. So I have another thing to add to your post.
Bold are my untradables. Sometimes (as with Apeness) it is because of the position they play and our lack of depth.
Underline indicates players that I think we could consider trading if there was a trade to our advantage, but otherwise they are keepers.
The rest are players I think could be traded if it was a good way to balance our list. Doesn't mean I want to trade them, but if (for example) we lost Suban or de Boer, then Sheridan, Weller or Blakely will fill the void. There is a clear difference in trade value in this area.
Players with trade currency that we could afford to loose because we have depth in their position;
KPF (2-3): Pav, Tabs, Apeness,
Forwards Small/ Flanker (4-5): Balla, Walters, Crozier, Mayne, Duffy, Langdon, Deluca,
Mids (6-7): Fyfe, Mundy, Hill, Barlow, Neale, DPearce, CPearce, Mzungu, DePig, Suban, Sherro, Weller, Blakely, Ballard
Rucks (2): Sandi, Clarke, Griffin, Hannath, Moller,
KPD (3) : Dawson, Johnno, MacPharlin, Silva, APearce, Smith
Small Defenders/Flankers (4): Ibbo, Spurr, Duff, Sutty, Hughes, Vandelure, Hurley
I am one of those who thinks anyone is up for trade at the right price type of guy.
I also think trading plays a key role in filling holes in the list, and that you need to give something decent to get something decent.
