Squad Re-Build for 2027 Campaign

[BullyXL]

After a comment by STF on another topic, what do we all see as the re-build composition? Bearing in mind retirees, coach's views, individual performances over this season and those prior.

How many retirees apart from Leak and Walshaw are there. I would like to see Ward back again.

[BullyXL]

Ritirees Leak & Walshaw and those moving on/unwanted by coach time will tell. But for me those that I would like to defo stay, in no order; Butterworth, Olpherts, Ellis, Hudson, Beedle, Woods, Reynolds, White, Flynn, Manning, Stevens, Hodgson, Dixon, Parsons.

With new signings and some maybe's from current squad. Lets hope funding allows a decent squad depth and also be enough to keep our better performers this season. Might be a struggle to keep Butterworth and Ellis after how they've improved this year.

I agree with most of your choices. Yes it will be interesting to see how it pans out.

Most? Have I missed anyone apart from Wardy, or added one that you dont think.

My personal opinion is White he hasn't been able to command a regular position this season and with young Beedle about I think the stand off spot is covered.

Just my opinion.

Where Graham?

 The rumour mill starting to turn.

I hope Wardy is persuaded to stay as 2027 will be his 10th season at The Mount. Some young, big lads to replace the retired big lads!

Was actually thinking about his utility value to cover several positions across the park if needed. Altough perhaps not a starter, unless we have injuries, certainly in the 17 to cover.
