Quote: DISA "Correct. Because they sent him out on loan to super league teams for 2 years. Good planning if you ask me.
Saints got rid of a good hooker in Higham, to make way for Roby to play the spells in tandem with Cunningham. They sent the next in line out on loan to super league to get more experience ready for when Cunningham finished.
It would be the equivalent of us getting rid of Diskin to not hold McShane back. Use McShane as the second hooker to Buderus, and send out the next person in line out on loan for more and more experience.
Of course you have to build into that risk factors, such as can Buderus go injury free'ish.'"
The other difference of course is that Saints sent Moore out on loan to clubs they knew weren't a threat to them in terms of league position. Are there many clubs in that position who Leeds would feel comfortable lending first team squad members to?
