Think it's just one half, that being Gale who will need replacing. I am hoping Lino has got his form back and I am very positive regarding Lawford.

I believe most of next year's recruitment must be from the English players as our quota must be full

Agree and if the quality of English players we are looking at is TJ, Mckmeeken and Storton then it will be good to be a trinity fan.

Honestly the team could really evolve into a very exciting one for SL next season.

It’s looking like a really good team this season too.

We have a few good young players coming through like Pratt, Smith and Lawford who in a year or two will be SL ready. Very exciting tbh.

I get us at one over. So unless we've found a loophole then one of the current players will have to leave before next season.

Still a long time to go before then. Look forward to this season and probably worry about that at the end of this one when the jobs been done I guess.

Yes they are all contracted for next season, except boothroyd I believe

I wonder if the club are looking to see if Isiah played for an amateur team over here whilst his dad played.

How are we going to get his picture onto the new boards on the western terrace?

Oh Dear, welcome Ky, however, when you converse with our players & about the next game @ a place called Fev Rovers, now personally I like Fev, but, our last game there which we lost, after the game all our players said, quote, " never played on a potato field before " that's our winters rain & mud !
We will be needing you for that tackling !
Good luck to you & enjoy with a great bunch of lads !

Looks like a superb signing
Welcome to the club!

Who knows how an overseas player will go once they get over here, some hit the ground running and some need a whole season to settle in and show their best form.

All you can do is sign class, because as they say “form is temporary while class is permanent”
So hopefully Rodwell will hit the ground running but if he needs time to settle then let’s give it to him.

The way our pack is playing we'll be fighting to keep them rather than wondering how to trim the numbers. Our forwards outmuscled Wigan and look a damned sight tougher than a good number of SL sides. After a season in the Championship building up their partnerships I think they'll be more than SL ready.
