He was signed mid season on a short term deal and then was given a 4 year ? Contract along with the euphoria of the treble season

Not a million miles out. Been a few imports that could be described similarly - see Feka, Pauli Pauli, Dave coal train Taylor. Usually popular with some, especially commentary teams on sky, but soon move on or fall out of favour as a rule.

It’s been brought to my attention that the Mitch “maternity leave” rumour I heard and posted was bollax.

Thanks for the DM mysterious helper.

Doesn't stop most people.

Well...

If you can’t post spurious accusations on the internet here, just let me off the bus now.

Garbutt now 100% fit and training the house down at Hull KR.

No one expect less .

We need to sign a quality replacement

See how long it lasts.

Until it gets a bit tough and things don’t go his way..

I will be surprised if he lasts one season never mind three. I am 12 stone and my knees are shot, Mitch is ' top heavy' to say the least,so don't know what state his knees will be like.

Well if your name represents that you are a runner and one of decent distance then road running v Rugby training and playing is vastly different on the knees. I expect that Mitch will have 2 solid seasons, maybe slowing down in his 3rd year on the basis of potential injuries. Leeds would be better with him than without at present

on the pitch yes.sadly that's happening less and less and 4 fewer interchanges wont help him

I think I must be in the minority but it feels like we are slightly overating him. He had good go froward a poor gas tank and not brilliant in defence. As above with less rotation might not be good for him. I trust the management that maybe his off field attitude wasn’t what we needed. Good look to him but I can’t get as worked up about it as some seem to be

No great loss , an overhyped tub of lard , incredible how a professional sportsman can be so unfit and out of shape . Maybe a proper athlete may take his place .

Played 9 games last season, 2 of which were off the bench and I'd hazard a guess he was in the Top 5 in terms of salary.

Can't have salary cap sat in the stands.
