They haven’t announced any released/retained list at all. Same as last season. Not sure what the secrecy is as the league and all member clubs will be fully aware.

Yeah get that but last summer we didn’t renew any contracts this summer we have

If it was triggered some time ago weird why the club wouldn’t announce it when we done it

Maybe they wanted to wait and announce a new contract instead. But agree timing is strange - guess with news on another thread, maybe season tickets going on sale so they want some good news on the player front.

Maybe it was going to be timed to go with the season card sale?

You always want some good news to accompany the launch to build enthusiasm for the forthcoming season and everyone loves Gus. He’s probably our most popular player since his holiness Barry Corr.

We are in debate whether to renew @Yorkshire Blue's Moderator contract on The Zone. All seems fine for another 12 months, but @RHB has questioned that he might be to old now.

The fact Gus hasn't officially gone elsewhere gives me the slimmest of hopes when we clear the embargo he might well be staying

That’s because Gus is under contract. He can’t go anywhere without an acceptable bid from elsewhere.

I fully expect him to sign a new deal, not just this Club option, once the embargo is sorted.
 
What's happening with Wes and Powell?

Nothing on Powell since the Echo article suggesting Barnet interested?

And Wes?

They will have been told. The league have been told. The fans have not. Again, for some reason?

Appreciate it’s not a requirement to inform the fans, just don’t understand why it’s been kept quiet who we’ve released the last couple of seasons. What’s the benefit of that?

But they also haven't been announced at other clubs?

Annoying when one of the things we’ve always asked for is transparency and communication.
 
It’s very difficult when you are restricted to what you can do- if you can’t negotiate/agree new contracts then by announcing some things you allow speculation on others. So the option becomes say nothing.

How the NL runs embargoes is an exemplar of how not to do it. We work within that framework.
