Good post,

Was Savelio value for money, played about 50 games in 50 seasons.
There is a reason Taylor retired, he must have known his body has gone.
Satae was far too inconsistent, had one brilliant game and then 5 average one's, was a bit lazy too, in both attack and defence.
I'd have kept Griffin for a year, but something obviously went on.
Swift is a massive loss, but it took him 2 seasons to hit too form.

1 game a season is terrible

Would guess Smith and Griffin had a bust up over his red card. Was in good form then a few weeks after he'd gone

Wasn't a contract offered but withdrawn after his red card?

For me short term pain to make a point for long term gain. Griffin let the team down at a key point of a winnable CC game that could have changed our season, and it wasn't the first time, he was also sin binned in the previous round.

He was playing well and would have been good to have for 2024 but let's not kid ourselves that he was one for the future, we'd seen his best days already.

Wasn't he binned for mouthing off to the ref for a hat trick try and it was deffo a try against cas ( just looked it up on YouTube now )

Should be allowed to mouth off when you know the ref is wrong

And imo last season apart from Clifford and swift was our best player

If they finish top I'll eat my poop for a week

He definitely isn't a Rovers fan, just a bit misguided, I think Rovers will do slightly worst than last season, lost some good quality in eth backs with Ryan, SKD, Coote/Walker and Schneider, not sure there replacements are better. Two forwards in Linnett and Kennedy replaced by two forwards with injuries problems.

I'd say that May is an upgrade on Schneider, but is very similar to Lewis, so not sure that will work.
Kennedy was a pudding (like a younger Kane Evans), so Whitbread is a better player if he gets on the pitch.

Be suprsied if they don't finish in the top 6.

On another note, Hudds have a really strong looking squad on paper, they should be top 6, if they don't I think Watson will be om his way out.
