"Bargains" is your word not theirs.

You being the fountain of all things financial what have we used the large sum of money saved by releasing 10 players, if not to sign a Brodie Croft type of player if we can find one. I have no confidence they would do so but not because we would go into the red but because they have clearly decided for a reason best known to them to reduce the salary budget.
I look forward to your explanation of how one so financially astute is reverting back to what he did when he took over from his employer 10 seasons ago. It is not much of a legacy is it and don’t revert to insults just try answering it for a change.

The term practice what you preach springs to mind here, and for clarity can you name the 10 (ten) players we have released please.

Walker,Adebiyi, Minns we’re not first team regulars and BT AND TJ hardly played last season so I hardly think we’ll miss them !

There are four players in that loss we will miss.

Bill hasn't been a first choice since 2019. Walker never was. Aydin was not a regular. Sid and Minns, seriously did we ever even have them.

Fifita and Arona were knocking on and retired. They will be hard to replace but that was simply unavoidable, you can’t wind the clock back.

TJ, well by a piece of pure good fortune the lord provided us with a perfect replacement, well two actually as Kershaw is also the business.

So basically we’ve lost two players we’d rather have kept, Miller and Batch. Well you win some you lose some.

Still if you want to spin that into ten players then you do it.

Quite right pimps, but the phrase you used was WE LET GO, Adebiya and Mimms I concede and were a mistake, the rest were either retiring or refused new terms, hardly let go but once again it suits your narrative to make mischief.
