The remaining five players yet to re-sign contracts have all decided to leave E10 for playing careers elsewhere. Garner, Tann, Easton, Guttridge and Alexander have turned down improved offers and will move on.
Given the six players released at the end of the season we are now seeking a virtually new team in a very short space of time in what must be the biggest close season upheaval in recent times at Brisbane Road. Why they didn't sign is at present unknown (although concerning) and manager Ling is left with the difficult task of attracting 10 players of the right quality in the next few weeks. I hope he has cancelled his holiday!!
