Wants game time, according to Coleman. Why, I wonder, can't we let these lads go elsewhere on loan so that we keep them for the future.
Money involved I would suspect....
On the cards given we’ve played Lloyd and Roberts at centre before him and also signed Tai.
How can other clubs appear to keep squad players happy, yet we can’t?
Got to be problems we don't know about because no talk of replacements problems with Widnes tv , merchandise issues not looking good
Probably the coaching staff don't fancy him, maybe he's not ready for this level of RL.
These recent 'leavers' may enable funds for someone who puts pressure on the existing squad, even if it may only be one body. No 'A' team, Academy games etc means young lads will train on Tues/Thurs/Sat and then kick their heels 'til the following Tuesday. Repeat. It's the mess the game is in, unfortunately.

We’ve let go of an awful lot of players lately - not sure what’s going on (if there’s more to it I mean) and let’s hope it doesn’t come back to bite us if there’s a run of injuries…
@pauliewalnuts no other club has lost four players though Paulie from admittedly the smallest squad in the league
and if he doesn't fancy them why sign and waste the money? And he'd seen sumner play here and decided to keep him

They'll just use the DR agreements in place with Wire, Leigh, Wigan, I'd expect.

If they don't fit in for now, why not send them out on loan, seems simple enough to me. Swinton snapped up Sumner and for me, a good acquisition but he could have been brought back if needs must.
The coach said he rates Jones highly.But not highly enough to pick him.Seems to me he's beginning to feel embarrassed by these regular announcements of his own signings leaving.As said,he could've been loaned out.
@martin I think Martin the gap between ourselves and the league 1 teams has closed that much that they don't need to dual reg with us as we are all chasing the same players eg north wales signing wilde
i think this side of the hill only 3 clubs beneath us swinton Rochdale and possibly n wales
Does seem strange that these players want to leave after a couple of months, because they haven’t been picked to play. Are they not told when they sign, that they will probably only play, if we get a lot of injuries.
Are these players getting paid for not playing, or are they on a pay if you play contracts? If they are, you can understand them wanting to leave.
4 now, this must be unprecedented after just 2 league games? It was stated we wanted to run with a squad of 27-28 in the fans meeting before the season started. We had 25 signed and a couple of other offers on the table. What's changed?
All I know is £25 to watch half a team of loans and reserves is a lot of money and won't attract new followers and may even lose some die hard fans
