It's not been 13 out this off season.

Myler & Hooley left before last season

Olpherts left 2 games into this season so effectively we've released 10 players this off season and brought 5 in so far it'll soon be 10 released & 6 in when Momirovski is confirmed as released and Sivo is announced.

I believe we will still have some cap to plat with but we have to remember this isn't a fantasy league and blease was brought in to sort our salary cap out because it was in some mess. Just to put it into contexts I was told when Lachie Miller had signed at Leeds he is on £260,000 a year on a 3 year contract now Miller isn't a bad player but imo he's not a £250,000 plus player per season so I'd imagine some of the deadwood we have recently released such as Sangare, Goudemand and others would have been on more than they we're worth.

Sivo should be announced this week/ next along with Momirovski and I believe the club will try bring in another body at prop and out recruitment for 2025 will be done.

Mik is set to sign a contract extension, apparently

Good, best Prop we have produced in years has decided to remain with the club. Now time to take his game up a level under a much better coach than he has been used to for most if not all of his career so far.

Yup. Big year needed from all the props this year I think. Mik has been steady for the most part,Holroyd has been allover the place or injured and Lisone just hasn't done enough. Hoping Palasia and Jenkins along with a fit/ full preseason for the other three will make a big difference. If Miller/Hall/Handley can keep making the ground early on to help out and Newman / Sivo adding more strike it might finally be back to the play offs. Still worried about Frawley/7 our kicking game and leadership hasn't really changed and was very sub par at points in the last few years. At least we have Connor as a back up. Sinfield should be on a long loan with recall from game 1.

The rest of the out of contract players, for differing reasons, are harder to make a retain/let go decision on. I do feel that Frawley and Lisone would both have to play out of their respective skins in order to make a case for staying given the shortage of quota spots. Here's hoping both Holroyd and Gannon come back firing on all cylinders and make it an easy decision to make.
