Confirmed to Hull KR.

If only he wasn't as injury prone. A shame but best wishes Mitch.

Yep good player when fit, but simply not even close to being fit often enough, and question marks about his attitude. its not such a loss as he hardly played, but if gets a good run next season will be an asset to Hull kr, hope this does not bite us.

Still,when he was on the field he made good yards.we need to replace that.

Been ongoing since the end of October this one, he won’t be the last to leave. Expecting a few more announcements.

Don’t you mean he won’t be the last?

I’m staggered that we havent agreed some “loan” deals with London...

Golding to follow, and whats the news on Ablett ?

Ablett has signed a new two year deal

what were the issues with his attitude ?

looks like there will be activity this week

I do wonder if there is some underlying issue with injuries that mean we know he's not going to improve. An already light pack just go lighter...

Hasn't he had an operation recently, maybe the club know it wont be a smooth recovery?

I think Mitch and Ward are two of the ones Sinfield was referring to when he talked about the salary cap in the stand.

Shame Mitch couldn’t get on the field more, he was quite useful when on it, and his contribution needs to be replaced but with more minutes on the field.

i do not know specifically, hence question marks. but Sinfield questioned the attitude of some of the squad, and fitness. Garbutt now shipped out, make of that what you will.

Garbutt had one season which was massively affected by injury - the one just gone. His appearances in '16 and '17 were slightly lower than others not because of a massive injury problem but because sometimes he wasn't picked.

This is the most bull transfer I've seen at Leeds in the past 20 years, I don't think I've been this angry since James Lowes was given to Bradford.

Garbutt was our best forward by a mile and we've just released him. We've made the squad weaker at a time when we're trying to strengthen. Watch him next season as he kills it at Hull KR.

I find this a strange one, he was probably the only person in the squad with the size to worry defences as well as the desire to do the hard stuff. He has been injury prone last year, but in an era when it is not easy to bring in quality, it would only make sense if there is a decent replacement lined up - perhaps the Burgess slip of the tongue might be real (wishful thinking!)
