Rob Miller
Pieter Scholtz
Jeff Toomaga-Allen
Marcus Watson

I guess this is the list of those not already confirmed (Malakai Fekitoa, Vaea Fifita, Jimmy Gopperth and Thomas Young).

Note Mills and Minozzi not leaving.

[Steve from Cov]

Wow. Best wishes to everyone who is leaving and good luck for the future.

[HDAWG]

A lot of loyal players from over the years there, especially Miller and Gaskell.

Funny how we are now left with 2 specialist fullbacks, neither of which have had much game time this season.

Also think we need another loose forward or 2.

So 11 players, pleased that Ryan Mills is not one of them, hopefully a good preseason leading to a good season. 6 coming in, hopefully some room in the cap for 2/3 decent players

I'm glad to see Matteo is still with us. I got very excited when he signed but we haven't seen anything like the best of him. He's been plagued by injuries, particularly an eye injury which could have cost him his sight in one eye and AFAIK was not rugby related. I think he's also had covid.

[Neils]

Sad to see Rob and James go. Good servants but latterly quite injury prone. Also must be on a substantial wedge after so many years. Wish them good luck though in what they do - along with all leavers.

[Shugs]

Good luck to them all. Personally I’m surprised Minozzi is retained but maybe he’s still contracted. Watson going will provide a gap for some of our exciting academy potential to stake a claim. Thanks for all the service guys!

[Heathen]

11 in total. I wonder how many of them will be replaced?

[Chunky24]

It's not often with 11 departures, that apart from sentiment, you can think I get all of those going and am OK with them.

[JonnyD]

Perhaps a little bit harsh on Booj. Great squad one and has done a solid job for us but maybe his service has just run it’s course.
He has worked his way up from the championship, as others have mentioned he had to make this progress quicker than expected as he was one of last backs standing at one point.

He is exactly the kind of player the salary cap pinch is having an impact on. Solid squad player, but if In good form blocks Simonds and Hartley coming through - the problem for a Booj type player is also that other premiership clubs cannot afford them now either - back to Bedford or Jersey maybe?

[Shugs]

Interestingly it looks like Hougaard is staying then. I really hope he gets time at SH rather than wing.

He got a short amount of time when Dan was binned.

[Chunky24]

Thomas Young looks like he is going from frying pan to fire looking at Cardiff performance last night.

[Wombles]

Might not want to let go of Gaskell quite yet until we know more of Stookes injury.
