Sammut could be useful as a 4th cheap option. But with his job I'm not sure he would be available all year anyway.

Anyway just start of the off-season, sure we've some signings up our sleeve.

I'm sure there are more to come since we have hardly any backs. Heard a rumour we're interested in Walmsley who left Fax for Wakey - not sure if he's signed up with Wakey for 2025.

He is

So much for that one then.

Lilley, Meadows, Keyes and now Ackroyd years since halves looked so healthy

Wonder if the coaching recruitment will hold up further player recruitment. We need some backs.

Not sure what i gather still 1/2 tba

Most of those seem pretty obvious - either youngsters who never stepped up or older, injury-prone players who weren't worth keeping around.

Doro is off to Hull KR, and I assume Fulton is signing somewhere else (so no need to keep Lehmann)

Bit surprised at Franco and, maybe, Butler

Agree
Think Butler was too injury prone to keep around.
Fulton was offered a new deal but turned it down to return to Australia I guess the homesick rumours were true.
Franco is a surprise.
I wonder if the Walmsley rumours are true.

We released Olpherts but retained Walmsley so this would suggest the latter is in our plans for next season. The former was interesting Featherstone but, I suppose it’s what your new coach and the player himself wants.

Disappointing for Butler, thought he was one of our best back-rowers when fit.

A lot of players moving on. Wonder if we're hoping some from the academy will be ready to step up. Always felt like we had a gap in our conveyor belt with Lawford & Flanagan being sold. Never really felt the names who signed from the academy last year were going to break through.
