Casting aside ALL potential bitterness in a bid to avert the accusation of said emotion from you Fax fans, I'm not remotely disappointed to lose Reittie and Robinson. They wouldn't have been on my list of 'must keeps'. Robinson is deceptive - he looks like he is going to skittle defenders due to his bustling style, but do to a general lack of size he is lucky to make it past the first defender he meets. He probably makes a lot less yards during a game than the much-maligned Cherryholme. Oh, and he's very, very injury prone. You'll be lucky to see him in action more than 9 or 10 times in 2012 - see his Dewsbury and Batley previous.
Reittie is alright, but for a wingman has a lack of genuine pace and isn't a try-scorer. He'd actually do a better job in the second-row, as for some reason he tries to run through defenders as opposed to around them, a la Worrincy, White, or for that matter, the majority of wingmen. Its noticeable that the virtually ineffectual and invisible Lee Greenwood scored more tries for us in 2010 than Reittie managed in 2011 - and in less appearances. Can't quite understand why Harrison has signed him for Halifax, as White and Worrincy are pretty much on a different planet in terms of quality.
Genuinely no bitterness involved here - Manning, another recruit from ourselves, is an excellent acquisition.
