The way things are going it looks as though we are going to end up with more or less the same squad as last year apart from Williams, now that keegan and Matty have signed up, which can only be a good thing as we have usually started a new season with a bunch of strangers.So their familiarity with each other is a great bonus.
Agree it is a great bonus and not having a big turnover last year was probably one of the reasons we did much better this one. The only place I think we need an extra body is Prop, with just 4 out and out Props. 2 less than what we started this past season with Allgood & Ant Walker leaving. Adam Walker was also brought in but the other Walker had gone and Allgood was done for the season by then.
We've obviously increased a few players wages like Ashurst and Hirst so that has to be taken into account when looking at the squad. Since the start of last last season we've lost Allgood & Walker from the Prop department Sio,Williams, Gibson and Molloy, even though he hasn't been seen this year.
Next season even though he came at the end of this last season we brought in Randall and obviously Horo.
Tbh I'm not sure out of the younger guys we've gots like Mazive and Moules who's staying and apart from Akroyd who's getting promoted from the U19's.
