He’s got a kid with her

Reads like it's player led but you never know. He'll be a big miss, for me anyway, given his attitude and the cover he provides.

I think it will be a bit of both, Richie would have been cover so not even guaranteed a bench spot, I suspect he wants more than that.

Just seen this. Really surprised

Very surprised at this but cant blame him for wanting to play every week, surely we've got some more in comings due. Leaves us short at half back and full back as he would have been first choice cover for both.

If we don't have an equal ability player at least lined up then we've made a massive fek up.

Agree with all the above... seems very strange unless we are freeing up cap space for a good prop but as others have said this now leaves us short for decent cover in two key areas which we can't afford to have if we're aiming for the top end of the table and competing for trophies.

We've let both back up fullbacks go.. and he provided decent cover in the halves.

He wouldn't have got much game time, so it's a good decision for him. And a great addition for York.

But where does that leave us in cover? Edgell and Lumb for fullback, and Sinfield in the halves? Then we are back to half a team reshuffle if Frawley and Croft are both out?

Leeds must need the cap space for a big signing. There is no other logical reason to let him go.

Handley can also cover fullback, not my preferred option but it is an option

Full back yes, half back no way. Miller and Sinfield ahead of him at this stage in his career and rightly so.

Does that mean Olpherts on the wing? Momirovski to the wing, Martin to , and bring another backrow in? It all gets too disruptive if we don't have sufficient cover.

Louis Roberts or Max Simpson to the wing.
