Interesting move.
Hopefully more incoming as we should still have cap space now.
I live in York so look forward to seeing him for the Knights.
Always gave his all for Leeds, in difficult times too.
Once a Rhino, always a Rhino.
Good luck Richie.

Signed to replace DM but was never a creative halfback. Always better as a support running halfback so in many ways all of the criticism about him being a poor halfback is not justified imo. Moved to fullback where he joined the line and supported the break and he proved he can play.
A great move for him as he will play regularly in a good championship side adding valuable experience. Could be a great way to end his career. Best of wishes Richie, I have enjoyed having you at Headingley.
We now have the opportunity to A. Get the big prop in that we need and B. Give an opportunity to youngsters to prove themselves.
I understand concerns about cover but it is a salary cap sport and we can’t have it all ways. Plus it gives a chance to lower the average age of squad. I am sure we will be in a much better place for 2024!!

Good luck to him. Got a load of stick for his personal life but was a real gentleman on the Melbourne trip. Made the effort to talk to fans which not everyone did.

Some of the abuse he gets is pretty disgusting to be honest, his private life is absolutely nobodies business and I'm sure some of those people giving him stick lead less than perfect lives.

I would guess it was more Mylers decision to go than the club clearing the way for a decent signing.
There`s no way we would have let Hooley go if Myler was in our plans to leave as well.
It does leave us short and I would expect a signing to be announced in the next few weeks.

I just think with a generally stronger squad next season, we are gong to rely on youth a little more for cover. Unless we are struck by the plague again we will hopefully be playing one young lad at a time to ease them in more gently.

I don’t have a problem with Myler I think he’s a really good clubman and decent player on his day, and had some very good games at FB for us. Timing seems right good luck to him at York.

Richie is one of the toughest/ bravest players to play in a Leeds shirt.
Thanks Richie hope all goes well for you.

Didn't like him when he first joined but he won us all over getting his head down and doing a fantastic job at fullback, he's been a very good servant to the club. Wish him all the best.
