Conner's a Gonner ... : Fri Oct 14, 2022 1:08 pm  

https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/rugby-league/63259212 Released so he could go back to Hudds. Rumour has it has a knee injury that's more serious than first thought. Are we making cap room do you think ahead of the World Cup?

Sorry to see him go but Smith is the coach now and I trust him.

Released? No fee, bloody bonkers. Must be more to it, if he’s got a serious knee injury, why would Hudds give him a 3 year deal

Class player. Sorry to see him go. But like most things we are not aware what goes on behind closed doors. Smith will be calling the shots and we have to trust him. Good luck to the lad. But we move on. Hopefully have another couple of signings lined up

Had to happen in my humble opinion, big part of the 'reboot'.

No doubt talented but not what we need at the moment, we clearly need the cap space.

Just a tad disappointed that others hotly tipped to be shown the door seem likely to be here next year.

In AP & TS we trust, at least getting on with it, not writing next season off just yet.

Think maybe a player exchange is involved
Dont like the club insinuation that he has a much more serious injury than he has.Makes the club look foolish and a bit petty given Hudds 3 year contract.
I am certain their medical staff have done their homework

The club hasn't mentioned anything, it was the HDM - but they may have a genuine concern about his injury

Because nobody else would take them, so we are stuck with them.

HDM clearly acting as a mouthpiece for the club to try and put a spin on him leaving.

Be interesting to see how much of the season he misses
