These releases seem more of a sentimental loss rather than a loss of player quality
Burns - Thanks for the memories, injuries hindered his second-coming. Feel for him after what he did for us a few years ago, but too expensive to keep on the cards for what he could offer.
Sheriff - Provided great banter and got off to a really promising start but never really built on his early performances off the bench, seemed to lose more and more confidence as the season rolled on.
Kopa - This is probably our biggest loss out of the lot. Did well to be converted to centre back, luckily he was flexible as the early rumours was that Rudan was pretty unhappy with his abilities as a DM which he was initially signed for.
Golec - Always had a soft-spot for him because of his A-League Memes lordship, did a job when we needed him to, always felt temporary.
Gulley - You really root for the Wellington based players to do well. Also an ex-Stop Out player so I'm sad to see him go, didn't seem to be at A-League level on his second chance.
Lowry - Feel like we're losing a bit with him leaving too, losing both him and Foxy feels a bit sad as a season or two ago felt that at least one of them would be handed the torch once Dura retires. Brutally unlucky to pick up that red card during the Glory game at Westpac Stadium.
Now we turn our attention to Doyle, Dura, Williams and Krishna. Does anyone know what formation Talay would prefer? I don't see Dura performing as well as he did this season if he goes back to only having one other CB partner. He really flourished in a back 3.
