For me its got to be:

-Sheriffe
-Platt
-Worrincey
-Reardon
-Sykes
-Hall
-Sculthorpe
-Kopczak

In our prime in the 2003 season, none of these players would be anywhere near the first team. If we want to re-find that form, we need to sign some quality players and lose the deadwood.

Kopczak shouldn't go either, he's been one of our best players of late.

Yes i know Reardon was in that team, but since leaving the club he has not come back the same player at all. Platt although i think he has played well this year, is not a player i could see playing in any trophy winning side.

I'd get rif of all on that list apart from Platt who has been superb.

How did Worrincy keep Addy out of the Team? And more to the point how did he keep "me" out of the Team????

So Worrincy would be my first to go. Sculthorpe would be number 2 for obvious reasons. Not sure after that..

Just Worrincy and Sculthorpe for me, replace Worrincy with Olbison and Sculthorpe with Feka.

The rest of them just need a bit of self confidence and a decent coach. I would have included Sykes in my list but he is contracted for the next 3 years so there isn't much point moaning about him anymore.

The whole squad

When releasing players, you have to look at two things.

One: Can we get a better player for that position for similar money?

Two: Can the new coach get a better performance out of said player.

Personally, the players at the top of my list for release would be Worriency and Sculthorpe.

Now Sculthorpe, I feel you can't judge him on playing ability as he's never played for us. However, it's not secret that we don't have a lot of spare cash at the club, combined with the fact we haven't been spending full cap in recent years and add to that our dwindling crowds mean that we don't have space in the team for regularly long term injured players.

Worrincy however you look at him, is not a super league standard player. His positional sense, his tackling style. He just doesn't have what it takes to play the game at the top level. TBH, I think he'd be better suited to union.

We have been linked with both Elima and Feka. IMO both would meet the criteria of being better than the players we would be releasing and would likely be available for comparable wages.

Worrincey - worst ever signing !
Sheriffe - awful defender
Reardon - too lazy
Sykes - absolute waste of time
Sculpthorpe - probably not likely to see him ever in a bulls shirt
Nero - goes missing most of the time

The rest of them need to book up there ideas instead of playing like a bunch of lost sheep.

I get the impression that we will see a number of players (and Worrincy...) moving on. Shall I say I'm pretty sure the club are well aware of the weakness in the areas that most of the fans (ignoring the odd obsessed muppet) can so clearly see, and know at least as well as we do that some of the guys are either not up to the job or are not up to the effort required.

The point about playing like a bunch of lost sheep - don't forget that, continuing the analogy, you marshal and run sheep with a pair of sheepdogs...and we are a bit light in that department to put it mildly!

Surprised to hear that there might be quite an overhaul of playing staff. I expected no more than 3-4 new signings, mainly due to the fact that we wouldn't have much space on the quota. Wonder perhaps if we will have some scope to recruit from overseas now?

I think most fans would like to kick off next years recruitment with Langley re-signing. I just hope we haven't been outbid for his services.

The author of this thread either knows nothing about rugby league or has not been to a game this season. Platt is probably one of the best centres in super league this season!
