:roll: It's a short career so he quite rightly goes where he can get the most lucrative contract which will still be a fraction of what other professional sports get. He appeared to be your most consistent prop.

This loyalty thing from the club would probably go out of the window if he got a career ending injury....

Think there is a massive over reaction to him leaving..

A career ending injury is hardly the same thing as asking him to show a bit of loyalty to repay what we did for him I suppose the one thing relegation shows is your left with players who actually want to play for the club or feel they owe the club

Couldn't agree more,he's a classless,arrogant tool lacking a brain and they are his good points,the rating of 6/10 is about right.

Lets be honest Hudgell backed him because they needed him nothing to do with loyalty

Cox has been released by Warrington. Seemed to be playing well earlier in the season. Wonder if he's worth another chance.

The Championship could be a good level for Jordan, last season he bulked up at Warrington so would make an fair interchange forward to be used as a battering ram when "hard yards" are needed. If the wage demand is not to unreasonable give him another chance.

If the club had thought him likely to be found guilty, he'd have been dropped pdq.

We 'needed' Albert Kelly at the end of the season, don't forget.

The more pertinent point is that we presumably (given the nature of the allegations) thought he would not be found guilty, or were willing to accept assurances to that effect (which ultimately proved correct), so it was appropriate to stand by him.

If we'd supported him after a conviction, as we did with Ben Cockayne, then I think that would qualify as above and beyond and possibly justify some reciprocal loyalty. That said, I was pretty sanguine about us signing Paul Cooke when he left Hull.

It's the 'game' we, as a club are in. I don't mind at all that the Chairman is angry or frustrated - so long as it doesn't distract from or impede putting together a team that can win games.

Yep, can't argue with that. He'd fill a niche, potentially.

Walker and Green are gone, and I can't imagine we'll retain both Allgood and Tilse.

Are interchanges still going down next year though?

I suppose it depends to some degree on whether it was a Chester- and/or Peacock-instigated decision to release him in the first place.

Exactly right, this Rover 2000 guy obviously knows his rugby league, unlike a lot on here!

Yeah because nobody on here has mentioned were light in the second row department or that we need a half and a decent full back
