I will be worried if we lose Parcell. You just have to see who we had in previous years Beau Falloon who looked like he had never played RL before and Segeyaro who jumped as soon as he could. There is no guarantee we could get a replacement with half the talent of Parcell.

Weren't we being linked with London's hooker Cunningham? Maybe this is Parcell's replacement.

Falloon on paper was a decent signing with s decent NRL pedigree, but it just proved that the super NRl is not the super high quality they think it is if people like him can get a gig for 5-6 years. amongst all the high quality players there is some drivel.

Concerns me that we are willing to let players who feel like they are at the better end of the squad go, presumably to try and get someone else in.

Firstly, the replacement has to be better on the pitch, not just on paper
Secondly, due to salary caps and quotas, you can't just sign them, and wait for the players to leave. You have to move the decent player on, then hope that you can still land the better player. Risky strategy as you could either end up with 1 player less if you get rid, but the other player has been snapped up by someone else. Alternatively, you don't get the player and you can't move the old one on, but have told them there not in the plans, so you carry an unhappy player.

Many on here have said we needed a big clear out - that looks as though it is happening, I don't think we can moan when some players we didn't expect to get moved on, get moved on. We as supporters don't know diddly squat about the day to day goings on at the club, some of these players, however good, may be part of the reason the 'Rhinos' culture seems to have gone, I suppose all we can do is trust Infields judgement on what's wrong at the club.

Fair point Chris but ATEOTD surely the way to start a rebuild would be to ditch the chaff first??

Depends (and I'm not saying this the case) if players are causing unrest for whatever reason or think they are bigger than the club then getting rid, however good, is the start of the rebuild.

Still, getting rid of our hooker after how much hassle we have had there in the last 3-4 years, our best metre making prop,a young utility back on a long deal and Cuthbo who seems to be our only attacking forward..even if he's been ineffective .

While keeping Walter's,Ablett,JJB..

Sinfield mentioned the mentality of the squad on a few occasions. Maybe that's behind some of the decisions too. The Golding one might be more 'you won't be first choice and we won't stand in your way if another club comes in for you. No doubt all sorts of discussions going on behind closed doora

Possibly yes but remember its all speculation none of us know what’s actually happening or why

Which is actually pretty fair on Golding if that is the case
