Does Boothroyd going mean we have an overseas spot spare?

It looks like Croft and Shaw are staying.

I think we were one over so it looks like Boothroyd had to go ??
Can someone clarify just how many non-fed trained players we are allowed please ??

Seems so. Nathan Clearly anyone? We're not that far from Manchester.

You missed a few.

Going by this list of only those 9 are leaving. The following are to be confirmed as re-signing or having contracts for 2025 I guess:

Hood
Griffin
Croft
Shaw
Law
Brough

Certainly seems that way. I’d suspect that Mash will want him at York next season and to be honest it wouldn’t surprise me if a couple of these ended up at York or a few of our younger players like Smith/Booth etc (assuming we get SL status). I’d be all for a dual reg with York to be honest.

Shame Olpherts is going as good back up/competition for wing in SL with the yardage he makes and the tries he scores…

We will have a like for like replacement in Matty Russell coming in who is a very similar player but a little better IMO.

Injury prone and lightweight…

As we have 4 centres I d rather see one of them as back up winger than Russel , - assuming he’s coming

That does make a lot of sense, especially after playing OP on the wing against Barrow, and then listening to Ollies interview after the game.

I think all of these make sense, if Boothroyd was Home Grown then I would have kept him but he isn't worth a quota spot . The other one who I wouldn't mind us keeping is Olpherts but he wouldn't be first choice and I imagine at this stage of his career he wants to be playing regular rugby.
