We can’t just let players leave so easily. I’m sure we haven’t but we can’t allow it. Sends wrong messages

Oh I agree in principle, id be saying come back play and we can assess it if and when we can find a replacement, to just not come back would be a bit rubbish of him and us.

Just to add, the only way it would be ok is if we already know we have a replacement

Been our main front rower for the last season and half. Needs to be a big signing to replace him. A project type player will not do. Good luck Ava.

Yeah agree totally. I’ve seen the social media post.. doesn’t look good but they’re may be more to it.. await club’s comments with interest. But it leaves us very very very short if true

Said she’s loved her friends here but get me home. Then I think it was Konrads girl who said they’ll miss them loads in reply. Very much read that they’re leaving for good (or maybe just her??) Ava may follow in 12 months perhaps

If he's leaving or wants to leave. He's gona leave.

We had all this with Merrin and his partner.

Good player. Expected a big year from him and was actually hoping we could sign someone he could lead our pack with!

It does leave us short if true. There is not a lot of NRL props available. It seemed hard enough to sign one we now need two minimum.

That’s the worry for me. It’s hard enough to bring one over let alone two and for them both to be good and settle in too.. big big task. I saw a post this morning from someone who knows Jack Walker and they said Jack is saying he’s not leaving... but that might be fake..

Hi pal this isn’t a great post. I know a couple of people who have died a lot younger than that from covid and they were perfectly healthy. There’s many many medical experts who would correct you here. But anyway this forum is not the place for that.

Maybe so, but ditto any respiratory illness - not just CV19.

My apologies.

My point was and remains it cannot be used as an excuse for recruitment.

All other clubs are managing it just fine.
