Going off Friday Charnley would be a pretty big loss but going off the form of 2014 and 2015 he'd be no loss at all. I think it's the nagging belief that he may be on a big contract that makes me not really worry about any potential exit.
I'm afraid I find it hard to worry about any player who only seems to buck up when there's a contract renegotiation in the wind.
It may sound naive of me, but this is not really about loyalty to a club. Players are professionals and their loyalty is for sale - that's the way it goes and it's fair enough.
But professional RL is not just about how much an athlete you are, it's also about how much you're prepared to put your body on the line. If you'll only do that when you're looking for your next deal then you aren't much use to your team. I can't 100% say that's the case with Josh, but we've seen remarkably little commitment from him these last two seasons.
