If it’s based on players not being able to play because of injury (or fear of injury) ALL our players would be on one year contracts or is it just “old” Bulls players being offered one year whilst the “new” Bulls players are in favour with FC.
Dunno, an “old” Bulls player, like JL and EW - FC clearing out the “old guard” to be replaced by ex team mates in their twilight playing years!!!

You're correct I think bob, realising P&R is back next year and there is the real chance we could he relegated 1yr deals do make sense hope they explained that to donno though

Why not do what most clubs do and put in a clause that if we are relegated he can leave.

and selling season tickets.

I don't think it is a case of planning on getting relegated but the exact opposite. Making sure that if we don't, and there are 30 odd SL level players available at rock bottom prices, that we have plenty of leeway to pick some of them up, i.e. not too many players already contracted for 2015 and beyond.

I wouldn't class it as being fair on the players, either Donaldson or those who end up in relegated clubs, but we are in a position where we have to be pretty ruthless about these things.

There may be something in what you say though, I personally wouldn't take the risk of someone like Donno maybe getting a better offer. That said, his injury problems may be off-putting enough to scupper that.

There will be around 50 players out of a job after the end of next season though, and not for a second do I believe it will be just the players at the relegated clubs as the 1 to 17 players at both clubs will no doubt be better players than many 'squad' guys at the other clubs so , yes if we're still in, we need to look to that particular 'auction'.
