For me its got to be:



-Sheriffe

-Platt

-Worrincey

-Reardon

-Sykes

-Hall

-Sculthorpe

-Kopczak



In our prime in the 2003 season, none of these players would be anywhere near the first team. If we want to re-find that form, we need to sign some quality players and lose the deadwood.

Reardon was in that team.



Why would you release Platt who has been our best centre this season?

Kopczak shouldn't go either, he's been one of our best players of late.

Yes i know Reardon was in that team, but since leaving the club he has not come back the same player at all. Platt although i think he has played well this year, is not a player i could see playing in any trophy winning side.

I'd get rif of all on that list apart from Platt who has been superb.

Would agree with the above, but I would add Godwin and Halley to the list.



Lets have a look at your choices....



-Sheriffe - never been good enough. Crap signing originally yet still only "shows promise".. Crap defender and nowhere near a good enough attacker.

-Platt - maybe improving but that was not really hard. Where is his best position? For me it would be Headingley.

-Worrincey (sic) Not even taking an "e" can make this chump anything less than dreadful. Another Macca master signing - a simply awful player.

-Reardon - I said at the time it was a crap signing. I was 100% spot on. Should be on his way to Wakefield. Either the jail or the Wildcats.

-Sykes - nuff said but the previous diddy in charge of the team gave him three more years! If ever anything proved how crap McNamara was than that deal sums it up.

-Hall - utter utter utter p!sh. Terrible player.

-Sculthorpe - Who?

-Kopczak - Never be a capable prop as long as his ar$e points south. Sadly he will be retained as he is "home grown". I also have a collection of home grown. They are turnips. Uncanny really.

How did Worrincy keep Addy out of the Team? And more to the point how did he keep "me" out of the Team????



So Worrincy would be my first to go. Sculthorpe would be number 2 for obvious reasons. Not sure after that..

Just Worrincy and Sculthorpe for me, replace Worrincy with Olbison and Sculthorpe with Feka.



The rest of them just need a bit of self confidence and a decent coach. I would have included Sykes in my list but he is contracted for the next 3 years so there isn't much point moaning about him anymore.

The whole squad

No sure exactly who's OOC at the end of the year. We won't be letting anyone go who's under contract due to the expense unless we can find another club to take them.



If we can get better players than we already have I'd not stick with any of the OOC players.

When releasing players, you have to look at two things.



One: Can we get a better player for that position for similar money?



Two: Can the new coach get a better performance out of said player.



Personally, the players at the top of my list for release would be Worriency and Sculthorpe.



Now Sculthorpe, I feel you can't judge him on playing ability as he's never played for us. However, it's not secret that we don't have a lot of spare cash at the club, combined with the fact we haven't been spending full cap in recent years and add to that our dwindling crowds mean that we don't have space in the team for regularly long term injured players.



Worrincy however you look at him, is not a super league standard player. His positional sense, his tackling style. He just doesn't have what it takes to play the game at the top level. TBH, I think he'd be better suited to union.



We have been linked with both Elima and Feka. IMO both would meet the criteria of being better than the players we would be releasing and would likely be available for comparable wages.

Worrincey - worst ever signing !

Sheriffe - awful defender

Reardon - too lazy

Sykes - absolute waste of time

Sculpthorpe - probably not likely to see him ever in a bulls shirt

Nero - goes missing most of the time



The rest of them need to book up there ideas instead of playing like a bunch of lost sheep.
