Well we have kept Lomax, he's just more effective at fullback (if ever on the pitch) and Eastmond would of been kept had he not decided more money for less work was a good idea. Smith would have stayed if Eastmond hadnt burst onto the scene, Gaskell was given ample opportunity but hacked off successive coaches and Ellis ... Well I can't explain without going into libellous territory (let's say he was given least chance but for good reason).
It's an ongoing problem, Charnock was a 6 in the academy yet seems to have broken through at hooker. There's high hopes for our next contingent though (Richardson and Fairclough) so hopefully, we'll be able to finally crack the mold...
