No it did not and now we are looking at props no where near the standard of Garbutt

Like who?

Like who & as good as he could be he's not exactly a Peacock either.

Completley different type of forward to Peacock ,

Turner
fat lad from Wakey
another i cant spell from Midgets

Who’s Turner, who are the midgets. And Fifita would definitely be an upgrade on Garbutt

Edit: midgets, clever. Debatable who’s the better player.

Ive nothing against Garbutt, he was a good workhorse for us when fit and contributed to our successes as a team.

I think the kick up the jacksy he got when rinsed out of Leeds has made him realise he needed to buck his ideas up and he has thus far and now HKR are reaping the benefits. The real issues will start if he gets those niggly injuries and the weight creeps back on, though hopefully he'll be a bit more switched on in that regard now.

Why are people still talking about Garbutt? We cut him and signed Trent Merrin. Did anyone on here actually see Merrins performance Sunday. He was sensational. Great decision by the club.

we cut medley heron and powell to northern and gave them a title , gave them lowes many titles , harris one title and bankruptycy generally not been bitten by what we've let go though wigan and sts seem better at knowing when to release players......mitch could be one we reget

Why are people still saying we cut Garbutt to sign Merrin??

We still had Garbutt when we got Merrin

Garbutt was released to free up another quota spot AFTER and at the time it was heavily rumoured to be able to bring Ikahihifo in from the Giants

It was the release of Delaney that freed up quota space to be able to sign Merrin when Garbutt was still on our books and quota. Garbutt is yet to be replaced although with the recent releases hopefully his replacement will be announced soon

Actually, you need to recheck your dates there. It’s a live cap, and space was made to sign Merrin by including Garbutt off the cap. He had to be released, or several had to be released, in order to sign Merrin. Not saying Merrin is his out and out replacement, that might still come. But they couldn’t both be here, at that time.

Delaney was out of contract as of the end of October, and was already planned to be out of the equation.

we all no there where a number of reasons why he was shown the door, obviously the move to Hull kr is going well for him (3 games) saw the highlights last night he does look a good 6-10 kg lighter than when he was with us last year, obviously knuckled down a bit.

You'd think we'd released Darren Lockyer with some of the chat on here.

I don't think anyone is surprised he's playing well after 3 games. When he's fit and firing, he's undoubtedly a handy addition to any squad. Let's see if he stays fit...

If anyone is missing him so much I,m sure HKR will have Season Tickets available!

People are also assuming he would have had the same attitude for us this year, there was obviously an issue somewhere for us to want to get rid of him, that same issue may have carried on into this year, sometimes a move is needed for a player to give them a kick up the to play at their best.

Apparently Jackson Hastings is tipping Garbutt for Man of Steel. Not sure I overly trust his judgement though, as his response to the game on Sunday was to say that Salford were 'torn apart' by Richie Myler...
