That may be a list of those who have already left, their maybe others who don't agree terms or find another club still. Having said that I'd expect Boyle to still be here in 2020.

Great news. Retain the rest and strengthen. Really hope Boyle signs too. Yes I'm an idiot for not agreeing to people on social media but what do I know?

When it mattered and against the better sides Our forwards have been outmuscled for the past couple of seasons and it seems we’re keeping them together again for next season

They don’t all need to go though. Douglas is a fantastic prop for example. There’s four forwards on that list of departures alone

Yep I agree on Douglas, plus England, Mariano, Hedges are all top players too, it’s just my opinion that I think we need 3 new props, and a quality 13. Idd only count Scott and Bastas as forwards being released as I wouldn’t really count the hookers as forwards (I know there classes as that) but I think you get what I mean.

Howden is a surprise IMO, interesting to see who he is linking up with. I know that Thornton rates him.

Good luck to all the released players and a big thanks for their efforts whilst wearing the blue and gold.

Good luck to all of them .

I'm not that surprised about Jordan. He'll do a great job at Hunslet. I'd like to think we've got a good FB lined up. Where's Jack Sanderson atm?

There are contractual liabilities, However if RB is out of contract ...if RH doesn't replace him then I would show him the door.
Sorry, both of them.

To those who are leaving, thanks for your time in a Dons shirt. All the best for the future.

The thing with Howden is, he's a 6. We may have been playing him at fullback but he will want to be playing at 6. If he stayed here he's competing against Rangi Chase for that shirt so he probably fancies his chances better elsewhere, remember that list doesn't mean they weren't offered anything. Also throw into that mix his injury record and it would have been a very complicated decision for the club and him.

Totally agree Jemmo. He's been a great servant to the club and is a top bloke. He could never be sure of a start going forward so I genuinely wish him the best.

I'm disappointed Howden is leaving , he has done well since taking over the full back role, and gives us plenty of options in the halves when fit.

Could he be on his way to Keighley or Hunslet?

Maybe the halves will be made up of Beharrell, Rangi, and Boas with a new specialist full-back being brought in?

Perhaps Jordan saw his opportunities being limited and wants a regular half-back slot?

I very much hope we've signed Jack Logan to be full-back.

I think (and hope) we have a specialist 1 coming in. In fact it would be my priority
