    And now there are six left

    The unrelenting churn of footballers through the system continues like the spinning of the globe. We're down to the last six now - the Bont, Daniel, JJ, Libba, Jacko and Toby.

    Last year my money was on Dunkley to be the last Premiership player to be running around in the RW&B. Now my money is on the Bont.

    Need to get another flag. Things change quickly at club land.
    It might be a foot race between Daniel and Bont from here.

    This easily fixed by winning the 2023 Flag.

    Your money was on a guy who was coming out of contract having tried and failed to be traded a year earlier? Remind me not to follow your horse racing tips.

    Don't worry I don't follow the gee-gees or the dish lickers. In my defence I think I might have started a thread like this a couple of years ago when we still had 11 players left.
    I'm very disappointed in Dunkley tbh. Played in a flag side when he was just 19 and had only 14? games behind him. My thinking at the time was that he was the youngest of those left and had been very consistent. I guess I place a bigger store on loyalty than those from other generations. But, then again, in football these days loyalty runs both ways. It's a business, like any other, but the product it's dealing in is supporters' emotional attachment and tribal identity.

    Bloody amazing and tragedy in some sense, if we do not get another gf or premiership or two from some of those six.
