Recruitment & Retention Latest

Quote: hindle xiii "More rumours from the T&A article

Well Clark has stated his goal is to play in SL sooner rather than later, so not surprised he's leaving.
Addy seems to have peaked as a player so maybe a change of team might see him improve.
Fleming hasn't really featured enough for anyone outside the coaching team to have much of an opinion on.
Crossley has started to pick up his game recently, but you have to wonder if that's down to a change in coach or the fact his contract is coming up and he needs to put himself in the shop window for next year
Lauaki - see Crossley. Also see him in Greggs on Sticker Lane like I did Friday afternoon
Uaisele - Bit of a waste as his appearances could be counted on the hand of a blind butcher but give we've players like Williams, Caro and Clare it's not surprising he's found it hard to get into the side
Mathers - waste of time and money. His signing definitely had a whiff of a "jobs for the boys" type signing given the Leeds old boy coaching staff. Big misstep by the club who tried to pass off his signing as "a big event" and I think that p'ed a lot of fans off as they were all calling for a half back
Walker - Shame if he's leaving as he hasn't seemed a bad player and as a squad player he might be worth keeping
Walshaw - again, another player who's not really been given much of a chance which is always going to be the case with such a large squad and, for the majority of its time, a coach who wouldn't rotate the team to make the most of such a large squad

As for the retained, Pitts, Ryan and Olbison - Good, Matty Blythe - Not so good

Still, it would seem we're getting the large clear out that we were promised at the end of last year so hopefully Smith can continue with his good work with signing and put together a better balanced squad for 2017
