I,ve been trying to keep track, but its not easy. This was the latest list I had, but it is probably incomplete as the club seem very coy about announcing which members of last years Academy have been given senior contracts for next year. I'm also guessing at positions in some cases.

Full Back
Pickersgill
Stephenson
Brown

Wing
F-Johnson
M Smith
Leadbeater
Greg Johnson
Butterworth

Centre
Oakes
Culling
Punton
Evans
S.Smith

Half Back
Lilley
Milnes (on loan)
Shackleton
Green

Loose
Hallas

Second Row
Farrell
Hodgson
Vaznys
Gallagher

Hooker
Flanagan
Doyle
Berry

Prop
Crossley
Kirk
England
Foster
Scott
Scurr

If anyone knows Ive definitely got something wrong, then please feel free to amend.

Well, again, it's one of those occasions where the supporters haven't been told the truth All the news outlets were reporting that Evans had gone on loan to Leeds. For example https://www.thetelegraphandargus.co.uk/ ... elp-bulls/ Now we are told that it was a permanent deal, and therefore he can be loaned back to us. Obviously if it wasn't a permanent deal there would be no need for a loan from Leeds - he would just be sent back here to see out his contract. I'm not saying it is on a Marc Green-level so far as untruths, but once again we aren't being told the full story.

Spot on mate. I thought it was pretty clear as well.

Maybe our use of his services this season was the transfer fee?

He was out of contract at the end of the season, and his contract had the usual 'if an SL club comes in etc' so, on that basis, it was probably the best outcome for us? I know we had to allow him to leave but no-one said we had to allow him to go for nothing.
