All released/loan ended

Still talking to Jorge Taufua.

Most of those seem pretty obvious - either youngsters who never stepped up or older, injury-prone players who weren't worth keeping around.

Doro is off to Hull KR, and I assume Fulton is signing somewhere else (so no need to keep Lehmann)

Bit surprised at Franco and, maybe, Butler

Agree
Think Butler was too injury prone to keep around.
Fulton was offered a new deal but turned it down to return to Australia I guess the homesick rumours were true.
Franco is a surprise.
I wonder if the Walmsley rumours are true.

We released Olpherts but retained Walmsley so this would suggest the latter is in our plans for next season. The former was interesting Featherstone but, I suppose it’s what your new coach and the player himself wants.
