Interesting there appears to be a delay in squad numbers for the 2021 season.

I think the club are waiting to ship a few more out over the coming weeks before squad numbers are announced.

They usually have them announced by now to coincide with the Christmas trade for fans.

I can see no more than a 30 man squad next year.

Who goes, you decide.

The season has normally been finished for 2 months though not 2 weeks

Saints have announced theirs

They probably have completed their business for 2021.

I don’t think we will have with departures or arrivals.

So looking at the squad as we expect it to shape up

Backs

French
Marshall
Manfredi
Bibby
Gildart
Hardaker
Hallsall
Hanley
Mcdonnell ?

Halves
Hastings
Field
Smith
Tommy

Forwards
Bullock
Clubb
Singleton
Partington
Byrne
Havard
Burgess
Kilner

Powell
Borough

Faz
Isa
Bateman
Smithies
Shorrocks
Pierce - Paul

Thats a 30 man squad

That would mean based on the current squad we are also releasing

Hankinson
Greenwood
Mitch Clarke
Jake Shorrocks

The obvious reason is because of all the players leaving from our large squad due to no reserve league being played next season plus the elevation of some payers from the Under 18 squad being promoted to the first team squad.

G Burgess won't be here next year.

Wow! For sure or just what you anticipate? Big boost if so.

Insider knowledge or hopes and dreams?

Time to dig up the Luke Thompson rumour

I dont think anyone thinks that will happen but my godI hope it does just for the fall out

Roguesy there letting the cat out of the bag.

Don't jinx it, remember what happened with Pirtek
