Who should we retain and who should we replace next season and why? Mine ar listed below

Adam Quinlan - Keep
Tommy Minns - Keep
Andrew Heffernan - Unsure, injuries are telling me replace!
Ryan Shaw - Release, due to frailties in defence I don't think he is quite upto super league.
Danny Mags - Keep
Nick Scruton - Keep, for 1 more year
Shaun Lunt - Keep
Mose Masoe - Keep
Maurice Blair - Release, only because I think he will hang his boots up
James Greenwood - Release, to much of a liability
Ben Kavanagh - Keep
Lee Jewitt - Release, same as Greenwood
James Donaldson - Keep
Danny Addy - Keep
Chris Clarckson - Keep
George Lawler - Keep
Tommy Lee - Release, not my cuppa tea
Matty Marsh - Unsure, I've seen flashes but needs to be more consistent
Rob Mulhern - Keep
Liam Salter - Keeps
Josh Johnson - Keep
Chris Atkin - Keep
Kieren Moss - Release
Joe Wardill - dependant on his recovery from injury.
Will Oakes - Keep
Will Dagger - Keep
Jordan Walne - Keep
Joe Cator - Keep
Brad Clavering - Release, clearly not fancied
Connor Williams - Release, seems to be injury prone
Thibault Franck - Release, seems to be struggling
Danny Tickle - Release
Justin Carney - Keep

Oops - they may be a big rebuilding job, i'm releasing 9. might have to rethink on a few lol

Problem we have is now, we need a few more top players make the 8. Then rebuild from there but I have heard Kr have about £800k left on cap so why not use it.. and tim doesn't like beefy forwards look at mose and tickle both told slim down

where does the £800K come from? Grudgell has said not him.

Doubt Ryan Shaw will be leaving, as he's signed a 2 year extention in Jan.
Rumours are Scruton is retiring at the end of the season.

Clearly this thread is going to be VERY subjective and may gain emotional responses if a persons “favourite” is earmarked for release by fellow fans. However, just for fun I’ll play, my differences to yours are:

Greenwood- keep
Jewitt- keep
Donaldson - release, unfortunately his lack of size minimises his impact, his effort is undoubted though.
Clarkson - see Donaldson.
Marsh - release, he’s not developing at a satisfactory rate.
Salter - release, his chances have been limited even when fully fit, the Easter period may have shown why.

Re: Player Retention : Thu Apr 12, 2018 12:57 pm  

Adam Quinlan - Keep
Tommy Minns - Keep
Andrew Heffernan - Must keep if we can sort his head out
Ryan Shaw - Keep for now
Danny Mags - Keep +1 year
Nick Scruton - Retiring?
Shaun Lunt - MUST keep
Mose Masoe - Keep
Maurice Blair - keep if not retiring
James Greenwood - keep unless replaced
Ben Kavanagh - Keep
Lee Jewitt - Release, regardless
James Donaldson - Keep
Danny Addy - Keep
Chris Clarckson - Release
George Lawler - MUST Keep
Tommy Lee - Release - way too average
Matty Marsh - MUST release - had plenty of chances over the years
Rob Mulhern - Keep
Liam Salter - release if Vaivai is any good
Josh Johnson - Keep
Chris Atkin - TOP PRIOIRTY Keep
Kieren Moss - not seen in SL but just keep
Joe Wardill - dependant on his recovery from injury.
Will Oakes - Keep
Will Dagger - Keep
Jordan Walne - Keep
Joe Cator - Keep
Brad Clavering - Release
Connor Williams - Release
Danny Tickle - Release
Justin Carney - MUST Keep

Atkin could be a new Rob Burrow or dare I say it, Millward. Bit too early but the signs are there. Look to build the side around him.

Obviously it's down to what contracts players have.

I would keep
Quinlin (for 1 more year then move on to Dagger being number 1), Minns, Shaw because of his contract signing going to stay), McGuire (got 1 more year), Daggers (got 2 more years after this one), Lunt, Masoe, Greenwood, Kavanagh, Donaldson (good as a back up), Lee (again good as a back up as can cover a few positions, plus at least a year left), Mulhern,Johnson,Atkin,Oakes, Walne,Cator, Carney. Lawler, Walne.Addy.

Unsure -
Heffernan playing wise undoubtedly keep, but not sure health wise. Jewitt runs hard, committed. If he can cut out the stupid stuff than keep. Tickle, not doing badly at the moment. If he continues might be worth another year.

Going-
Salter (might need to leave to improve as a player by getting more games), Marsh (same reason), Scruton retiring anyway. Blair (if we can get a good younger player), Moss (I like him, but looks like he's going anyway), Wardill never really been over impressed when I've seen him play, Clavering,Williams,Franck. Not fancied, not going to get game time.

Pc whatever, his name is Mr Neil Hudgell just so you remember.. and trust me Kr have got space on cap and some cash left.. but wait and see shall we

Re: Player Retention : Thu Apr 12, 2018 2:31 pm  

There is no way we will have 800k left on the cap, we have over 30 players and you don’t get change from a million quid while paying that wage bill.

It will be nearer 80k, but certainly less than 200k.

Re: Player Retention : Thu Apr 12, 2018 3:00 pm  

are all of these players actually OOC? How are you going to afford to pay off a large number of players and where are the replacements coming from?

It's like fantasy RL
