Nathan Mason apparently jumping ship and returning to leigh.
Another player leaving mid contract!

A few players citing homesickness no doubt

Homesick for a pint under £5 too maybe

I would have no problem with Nathan Mason leaving. In my opinion he failed to impress.

To be fair we've known it was coming, so the news has been somewhat cushioned.

Of the 3, I am most disappointed to see Yates go. The other two have been great servants to the club, and history will reflect that, but I think their time had come.

We also know Walker has gone and whilst I think he has been an outstanding Academy product, his form slid towards then end of the season, as did Adbuls to a certain degree. Maybe a result of knowing they were off. Gee on the other hand was steady throughout.

Its a shame that the side that served us so well this year will be disbanded to a great degree. That said, I note Salford has a huge turnover of playing personnel as well.

I agree Yates will be difficult to replace. I hope that all the players who are leaving are going to get regular gametime elsewhere. It will be interesting to see how they go.

Things change, and us dropping down has not helped obviously.
Dragon needs a change, his form was shall we say variable through the season with some odd decisions especially in defence.
Yates dont think their was any chance him staying if we were not in SL.
Elliot we will miss, I think a lot was expected of him with him in a leadership role, his game suffered a bit, put him.in a squad and just let him play.
I still say jordan Abdulls performance drop was down to the aussie bloke coming in, nothing to do with knowing he was going elsewhere ag end of season.

I think it says a bit more about salfords ambitions than our future. We were always going to lose some, the fact they are recruiting from.the team that got relegated is telling

Well NB. When the relegated team played as well as ours did, it is no wonder that other teams calm looking at our players to recruit as you say.
For Salford they will make an ideal fit as The Red Devils operate financially in a similar mode as The Broncos. The team ethos I expect is similar in both clubs.
All that has to be done is replace those that have left with others that will take us back to Super League. But we all know that.

Still reckon with the players salford are losing compared to who they have recruited they will not be play off material next year. But that's just an opinion.

For Salford. Jackson Hastings came to them purely due to circumstances. It was just good fortune. They were lucky that he chose to stay for a further season which helped them no end.
Whilst we can never know how Salford season would have gone, minus Hastings. They have to replace him and others, from within a pool of players that are available and suit their budget. Our three amigos must fit within that criteria . Good luck to them.

Not arguing any of that bosty, I still predict next season with the ins and outs they have they will be bottom half next season not top half. Their priority has to be to keep the support they generated with the run this season, sadly fans are fickle

Looks like about a dozen or so were back training yesterday.

Hellewell gone to Leigh. Mason also rumoured to be going there. Think that would take us down to 22 signed up and Richards is also rumoured to be off. Think we need a few more bodies in!!!!

Lets go down under & find a new 18 year old Tony Martin. Enough of the northerners for now.

Also looks like Wigan are signing promising academy forward Kai Pearce Paul. Maybe they could loan back ?

Absolutely.

A core of London lads, a sprinkling of committed quality Northerners and the rest good level Antipodeans, Yates level.

Defo gone Abdul, Gee, Hellewell, Ioane, Kear, Mason, Morgan, Pitts, Walker, Williams, Yates

Likely to go Richards

Unknown Cunningham, Fleming

In Armitage, Ashall-Bolt, Aston, Curran, Egodu, Norman

That is a big deficit of quality and experience.

You forgot Walters

Where has Ioane gone to??? I know we have been linked to the prop that has just left Leeds

Do we know how many have gone/are going that were/are mid contract?

Have we received any financial recompense for them?

Where has mark gone? Anyone know? Not seen anything on the web site.

I base it purely on his now wife's twitter feed saying they are now back in NZ after 4 years in UK …….. so many good memories from a great man

Pitts & Mason were both under contract.

As is Richards but he was in training today so rumours of his departure may be premature

Shame about Mark Ioane , sorry to see him go if that’s the case.
Re KPP , surely a season long loan back to us in the Championship is a solution that would suit us, Wigan and him?

KPP has signed for skolars I believe or have I got the wrong bloke
