Stewart and Cartwright will be the 39th and 40th player used this season.

In contrast in 2017 we used just 25.

Busy day with the Stewart, Cartwright and Sutcliffe news from the HDM and Abdull now officially confirmed by the club. Surprised we are bringing in a full back so are we presuming Walker is on his way out? Don't know much about Stewart and Cartwright and have spoken before about Abdull's return. From the HDM article it sounds like our new boss is in daily contact with the club which pleases me.

Not bothered about losing Sutcliffe. Played pretty well last season but has struggled this year (as have others). Definitely need more recruitment in the centre spots though.

Sutcliffe has been worse than average this year. Abdul a big risk for me a d I know nothing about the 2 fussiest but presume cartwright has approved these unless we've signed his son without his knowledge

He did OK last season, formed a decent partnership with Swift. Poor this year although he's hardly alone in that respect.

What it showed is just how good Adam Swift was individually not the partnership with Sutcliffe

Think Sutcliffe is the right decision.

Good to have two more quota players in for this season, don't know much about either player, but got to trust Cartwright who will know both players well.

Probably the end of Walker unless he wants ti play centre.

Think the plan will be to bring Litten through as a centre.

That was my thoughts.
He has been playing there for the reserves. Played full back for York I believe.

I'm guessing this is because he's been linked with you?

Not seen him but he's well thought of by all accounts. Had a couple of shoulder injuries which have probably prevented him making his debut
