Because he isn't as good a stand off as he is a centre - he simply hasn't got the skill set to play stand off even in SL

It worked with McGuire because he controlled the game.

I'm a big Moon fan and I think you could ask him to play anywhere and you'd always get 100% effort. I like him at 6 or 4.

Shame the injuries hit so hard. I think he was harshly criticised, yes he struggled at the start of 2016 but so did everyone and did improve as the year went on. Was starting to look ok on his return in 2017 before struck down again. Playing in a team that was fighting at the top and more match fitness as he went on I think he'd have been a good player in the final third of 2017.

I don't think Mac would have Bailley again knocking training etc ,but It looks like they've evaluated the injury situation and thought we don't want another 2016 so paid off Galloway and gone into talks with someone else . Although maybe they could bring in Bailley pay as you play till rest of season ? cant see it though

Average plodder and not a big loss for me. Shame and unlucky with injuries as big red gave 100%. Let's hope we sign a Burgess but reckon it'll b another Oz trip for our CEO and oledski promoted.

Because he is a better centre than SO.
He is ok as a short term stop gap at SO but that`s about it. IMO of course.

I'd rather have their kid!

Woeful signing that never delivered. Not all his own doing, bit of bad luck.
Poor timing though.

To be fair to him, despite the fact he had played for Australia, I doubt he would have been on mega bucks at Leeds. Last year he flagged that coming back this year would have been more about honouring his contract than anything else, so I'm not at all surprised he's called it quits.

I wonder if he will be replaced,given how early in the season it is and if so, by who?.
We really don't need a poor desperation signing. Not going pall out for Walmsley is looking like another poor decision given our packs age, injury prone players and reliance on overseas

Rumour has it we have already started to replace him.
Anyone`s guess with who though.
My guess was Keegan Hirst but I`m sure that will be wrong.

My bet is someone not good enough or someone to fill a position we don't need xD

You really do come over as a complete in your comments.

Say what now ?

Can't see us making a signing until middle of season at earliest. Our back row is ageing so wouldn't be surprised to see us sign a younger 2nd rower.
