So as the dust begins to settle, and players are on flights back to family where no doubt they'll be after a strong drink after a whirlwind 24-48hrs.
Roster rules are 17+3 this year, 13 imports, 3 Brits born 1995 or later, rest open age Brits.
Here is where we're at now:
Player 1 - Player 2 - Player 3
Player 4 - Player 5 - Dowd
Player 6 - Player 7 - Player 8
Brown - Player 9 - Graham
Player 10 - Player 11
Player 12 - D. Phillips
Player 13 - Bettauer
Player 14
Player 15
I'll keep this updated as usual.
What's everyone's thoughts on where we go from here? Fox already said he'd be in recruitment mode come Monday.

I reckon Jonathan Phillips will be back for another season, as long as his body lets him anyway.
Ben O’Connor should be back also.
As for the imports who knows. I’d like to see the likes of Connolly, Vallerand and Eberle back in Orange next season but I suppose it all depends on what offers they get from elsewhere.

I'd add Tron and Hrabel to that list.

Trončinský is my #1 want from our guys, I'd also say Vallerand, DeLuca, Connolly & Eberle round out my five absolute definites.raetiamann wrote:I'd add Tron and Hrabel to that list.

I'd be very surprised if we didn't keep all of our Brits.
There's an article up o the Steelers website saying that Fox has already agreed terms with some of the players and that there will hopefully be announcements made soon (https://sheffieldsteelers.co.uk/tony-sm ... ings-soon/)
I don't think I'd be too disappointed to see any of the imports back, I think Vally, Eberle, DeLuca and Connolly would be my first choices to see sign. I'd also love to see Lemty, but I know when we first signed him for this season, he was waiting until the last minute to see if he had better offers, so I can see him moving on.
One thing for sure, Fox has at least proven he knows how to recruit, so who's not to say if we miss out on any of our favourites, that he wont find an improvement to our squad out there!
Exciting off-season ahead I think

Essentially Duba would be the defencive coach, the defence work very closely with its keeper/s and around the style of each netminder.
Many times the defenders are obviously coached by the main coach (Fox) then drilled by the experienced defender and keeper on a team..
