Retained lists and released players

[uttis]

Any idea when our retained list is out? Summat in advertiser last week wasn’t there about 3 still under contract going and 2 signed new contracts presumably those going Woody Harding those under contract going Eaves Bola McCart? Speculation about Wash and even young Hull going?

They’ve already been told what’s happening so probably this week at some point

Yes it’s rumoured, Eaves Wash Hull McCart Bola are not wanted
Woody wants to carry on playing and won’t get that with us so probably leaving
Harding wouldn’t agree on contract so we gave up, whether Harding changed his mind is another matter

[Citizen Erased]

I'd be surprised if we released Harding without an offer.

Wash deserves to stay, he's had effort and unless his Injury is worse than realised he's effective enough at this level to justify keeping.

Eaves should go. Bola has been a nothing singing, McCart too.

I agree, I like Washington and I was surprised to see he might be off. He was our second top scorer last season despite often going through entire games getting no service whatsoever and he never gave less than 100%.

Agree with that

[uttis]

I too am a big fan of Wash I wouldn’t want us to jettison all of our experienced players as said he puts a shift in and can finish as regards Eaves he’s offered nothing can understand the others though Hull is a surprise thought he was the next big thing

[clarkey1974]

There a difference between released and being made available “transfer listed”….I think it’s a case of see who comes in for who and then maybe not quite close door on some if only a few go for squad purposes.but if they all go they all go..

[Timbertop]

Wahington has always been an "action man" type but is far from Championship quality.Eaves will have to take a pay cut if he moves to Donny.

[The Hillsborough Miller]

i always thought eaves was a strange transfer, he wasnt a smith type player, he said when he first came here he preferred ball at his feet. i know injury has hampered him. but even when fit mt only used him as a sub

[flourbasher]

Eaves will have to take a pay cut if he moves to Donny.

In those type of circumstances rufc might agree to pay the difference between his millers salary and his new lower pay for the remainder of his contract with us. At least it gets him off the squad list and someone else subsidises his large salary

As someone else has mentioned other clubs might not want some of our players. They might refuse to leave if kids are settled and house bought in sy

For example Bola has struggled to get a start in a div 4 team
