       Buried halfway down that Steph seems to be heading back to
       Durban. Hasn’t played as much as he or we would like recently,
       but he has been a great player and leader for us since he got
       here.

       He's a good player when fit, but that's increasingly rare these
       days. No real justification for keeping him. Sadly the same is
       true of Chisholm.

       My worry about this would be the loss of more senior leadership
       from the team. Yeah, he's been injured, but when he did play, he
       was a more effective on-field leader than most of the players we
       have left.

       Considering how rudderless we’ve been for a few years now, I
       can’t see how him leaving can make any difference

       He's been a great servant to the club, but he's so rarely
       available, it's difficult to argue the case for a contract
       extension. And we already have James Dun locked in for next
       season.

       Possibly because he hasn't been on the pitch much in the last
       couple of seasons. And things can get worse. We're still only in
       8th...

       Him and Chis have been huge losses for us. They are both
       competitive players, with a good skill set. I would love to know
       the win % when these two are involved versus when they are not?
       I bet they have a better win % than most players!

       For Steph, he hasn't had a season where he's won more than he's
       lost since 21/22.  Slightly better percentages for Chis recently
       but 21/22 is the last winning season for him too, and the
       season after that was played 7 lost 6...

       As much as I like both players and appreciate what they bring
       when fit. We need players who are available more often to drive
       competition for places.

       If we knew he’s be around for 75% at least of the season no
       brainer, but that’s hypothetical. (To keep)
       The reality is, if he left us tomorrow we wouldn’t notice and
       the main benefit would be an extra parking space at the stoop
