Quite a bold statement there, x amount of players will be out of contract every year.
This time next year we could have:-
An injury ravaged season from Buckley and KLL.
CMS one year away from walking for free. (I think)
Greer and Hughes gone (albeit with the replacements seemingly in place)...
It's been like that for the last 2 season, possibly even more.
I can't help thinking there's a 'penny counting' financial consideration to these deals.
Which is fine and dandy until it's trotted out as an excuse for a slow start.
One thing or the other, you can't have both.
