Shorrocks, Powell, Mago, Cust, Isa, Thornley, KPP, Hampshire, Byrne should be leaving, if not this season then the next. With the signings we’ve made and signings yet to be made or announced I do think our squad will be improved exponentially.

agree with most of those
Shorrocks gives us some utility value, so i would retain as a squad player, but then its down to the player if he wants to be playing 1st team week in week out and moves on. He can do a decent job in more than one position (i'm not saying he's great), but can cover in the backs and pack
Byrne IMO, has been battered over the last couple of seasons, starting with Lam and then not really getting a rest when others have been injured or banned. I'd be happy to see how he goes next season with an on paper better pack, and take it from there. I think he has potential but just not kicked on
re your point on French and Field . The fans love them both as they can both do something out of nothing, but equally i think we all think they are better at full back. It will take a brave decision to let one of them go, but it may need to be taken for the betterment of the team dynamic
