Yes that’s why I’ve put it up as I expect they’ll be announcing the retentions week on week now .
The way I read the situation is this : we’ve recruited a lot over the last 2 seasons, certainly improved the quality of the squad, however a combination of covid and the cost of living crisis means attendances haven’t reached our projections combined with other clubs such as Widnes , Newcastle, keighley are expected to spend big with a potential restructure looming we’ll be worried. It wouldn’t surprise me if some of our not local players for example gee/ Murray signed for someone logistical closer just because of the cost of fuel, getting to training 2/3 times a week is probably expensive.
Anyway it seems croad and Grix are doing there best to keep our better players on board , one positive is the team spirit is good and that might sway some players to stay for another couple of years .
