More anguish at players who wanted to go but we kept:-

Campbell
Dutchy
Daffy

We threw some money at players who in hindsight we’d have been best to let go
“I find it nearly impossible to make those judgments, but he is certainly up there with the really important ones, he is certainly up there with the Francis Bourkes and the Royce Harts and the Kevin Bartlett and the Kevin Sheedys, there is no doubt about that,” Balme said.

Have to say I was also disappointed when they traded the late Jamie Tape.

Darn good player, so courageous

Don't even remember what or who we got in return

I agree Ramps, but I was also devastated when Stewie Maxfield left.  Kittens was a real disappointment too.

Was sad to see Brando go.   :wallywink :wallywink :wallywink
Dan Butler also, always thought he was going to be good after his down year.

Won us two flags, kid. You're not a true supporter  :lol

I didn't think you'd fall for that one, Damo.

I thought Brave Brando was ridden pretty hard at times but it was good for both parties to move on after 2019. Went out with a flag, can't complain

I’ve always quite enjoyed my time at Kittens, personally.

Can tell who the oldies are who can’t stop living in the past. Quite wild when you consider the are recalling a terrible time in RFC history when we’ve had a great period only recently.

To play along with the nostalgia game, I didn’t care that he left but it did absolute hurt when Troy Chaplin tried to dance around Nahas only to get pinged and Nahas gave the biggest poo eating grin when he slotted it.

If we’re talking in the 17-20 dynasty era I will nominate Anthony Miles. I absolutely loved milo. He was undersized to be a full time clearance mid but boy oh boy he knew how to get contested ball! I know prestia was the upgrade and we couldn’t have fit him in but I wish we could have developed him in a different position or something because he definitely always had a dip
