Quite possibly but does the compassion & help given to him by the club, supporters and fellow players mean nothing? Rovers could have easily released the guy on the back of some very serious sexual assault charges, How many clubs would have picked him up before he was acquitted. add whether you think he'd be in a position to get the same deal he's probably got on the back of some solid performances at the back end of the season?

It's my opinion that Yes Adam Walker owes Hull KR some loyalty.

Who was after Minns, Leigh, seems a pointless move.

Well, as Minns son lives over in Salford a move to Leigh would have made a lot of sense if he were offered it. He gave an interview to YP after the MPG and said he commuted 200 miles a day.

Chortle.

I'm old school and will have been to most already although Oldham were still at Boundary Park back in 2006. Even Toulouse isn't a new trip for me.

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.

Absolutely not. He's witless, injury prone and unfit. Apart from that....he's got a glass jaw...manages a massive 2-3 hit ups a game in his huge 10 minute contribution each game and other pros appear to find him a bit if a joke. If you want to repeat recent mistakes then he's your man.

He's exactly the kind of signing we should avoid like the plague. That and loan players in key positions..half backs full back hooker.

Hudgell has said he wants no loan signings from the Sharks.

We should be building a team for promotion that needs little tinkering to keep it from being relegated the following year.

Of course they had a choice to be honest Dave you haven't a clue what's gone on behind the scenes but keep putting out statements as if you do

Hasn't stopped you deciding he owed nothing to Rovers.

He has given everything on the pitch, he is out of contract, if the rest of your players but the same about of effort then you wouldn't be relegated.

Deserved to choose who he plays for and just because Rovers did what any club would have done, doesn't he should stay with them.

We could have suspended him (on full pay) until it was resolved, but to release him we'd have had to pay out the rest of his contract.

Once the charges were dismissed, he was entitled to go about his business like anybody else. If the club helped him out, he owes them thanks.

I'm not massively impressed with him, but based on my knowledge of the situation, I think it's best if everybody just moves on.

What I am impressed with is Lunt-Blair-Minns-Scruton. That is a really good start in building a squad to do what we want to do.

You know very little about employment law if you think otherwise.

They couldn't sack him, they could have suspended him on full pay, but choose not too, I wonder why?

Players get released all the time. They release him and pay up his contract. DOH!!! It's completely different to having a normal job with no contract.
