Correct, we're 2nd bottom for a reason. A big clear out is needed but i would definitely keep Joe Keyes and Matty Gee.

Both likely off to Odsal. Keyes deal all but done according to Aaron Bower. They're after Maizen as well.

I wish we had kept Maizen. Very very fast but was played out of position by Grix.

I would have kept him but it was Finns decision not to retain him which was largely based on stats from playing as a centre !!??

Not sure on MG’s “cut backs” assessment, more like spending less and closer to previous years than this season where we spent more.

A lot of current players are either moving on or retiring and some of the early recruitment seems to be aimed at guys who have some ability at the lower end of the market but we will need a fair few incomings for next year and some of them must be a the right quality.

Not having GW’s wages will save a substantial amount and both Keyes and Gee will add to that.

Based on rumour of incomings and outgoings, it probably shows where we are at re our spending ability. Recruiting from the team who are favourites to yo yo back to league 1 is indicative of the quality we can afford.....then again they may end up being top quality..... at the level we could end up playing at next year.
