The following players have been released from the club:

Louis Sheriff, Richie Barnett, Aaron Jones-Bishop, Mark Castle, Mike Kelly, Jamie Thackray, Makali Aizue, Ryan Wright, Chris Heil, Reece Dean and Mike Worrincy

Worrincy though!

There's a couple there I think were good squad players, but hopefully the fact they're released is a sign of the player being brought in

I liked Sheriff ... as for the rest, I think that is a good clean out.

Pretty much agree. Shame about Mike Kelly, struggled with injuries

Is Howden expected to be fit ? This is a serious question .

Sad to see cas go i always liked his style and attitude, it's a decent clearout but I still think there's a couple still at the club who's deffo dodged a bullet.

If I remember correctly Jemmo, MK was a favourite of yours .
Bit disappointed about Castle leaving , but hey ho .

I remember your lad calling him "the worst player we've ever had".

Which felt harsh at the time

I remember that , he said the same about Muranka this season . I taught him everything I know about RL .

Sheriff the big surprise for me.

He might have a point about muranka

Surprised to see Cas go - I've always enjoyed the way he runs the ball in.

I like Louis Sheriff too. He always gives 100%.

I wish them both well and hope they get fixed up with new clubs.

As I said at the time of his signing ... he came with his own Cockney rhyming slang.

I'm disappointed to see Mark Castle and Louis Sherriff released. They both put in a shift. Let's hope that their replacements match them for effort. Shame also about Mike Kelly but as has been said he was plagued by injury and was a luxury we couldn't afford.

Fingers crossed we don't sign shaun lunt!

Liking it!

I think Muranka improved towards the end of the season , may be under the guidance of RH . Just a thought.

Connor Scott is another for me who needs to step up to the mark next season .

We probably need 3 new props to start with .

It's not good to name names but I must take issue on the praise being levelled in favour of Mark Castle.Yes he did give it all but as a battering ram five yards from the line. Have you ever seen him make a twenty yard run or off load in the tackle. I don't think so and also whenever an opponent tackled him he was already on the way to the ground.Sorry to disagree but the props of today's game should be able to make a twenty yard dash and offload although not in the brilliant style of Feka.

People will always see things differently & we do not see what goes on at training etc . I will say MC is a better player than another prop who , if he signs a contract, , will be retained .

You've lost me,are you saying that in training he is told not to make 20 yard runs and off load the ball in the tackle? Instead the coach tells him that he just wants him to make barging runs 5 yards from the opponents try line.

Well Tatty I did not agree with what you said about Cas . I think he had a decent season & I would have retained him . The point I was trying to make was there is more than just the 80 mins in accessing a player , training , attitude etc . It is RH call & I respect that but I am allowed an opinion , sorry if I confused you .

I may be wrong but I think some players signed 2 year contracts, if so I expect a few more may have been released, I still expect a couple more may go, especially if RH gets the players in he wants.

I can’t comment on the last few seasons but when mark castle was at the dons before he was a 100% player and would be in my all time team of forwards along with Gaz handford and of course parky
Don’t forget I’m not as old as Geoff lol

Excluding Feka I think there were 6 players who signed 2 year deals . I think that leaves 11 players who were not on the released list . No doubt these players have been offered deals . We will have to wait and see who accepts them .

Yes, I see that list as players the club has either said they will not be discussing terms with or have already tried and failed. There will be others who do not agree to our offers and go elsewhere

The 6 on 2 year deals ...
