He has gone to Hull KR because that is one of the 3 SL clubs his agent has a strong relationship: Castleford and Warrington being the other two.

Which is why I fully expect Golding to go to Warrington.

That would seem like a really odd move to me.

I know he is behind walker at Leeds but he will be behind ratchford at Warrington and while ratchford is older he isn't about to retire or anything.

I would think he had more chance at game time at Leeds and surely we need a back up fullback?

Lolohea and Sutcliffe will no doubt be the FB backup IF Golding is let go

Perhaps yeah. Though I'm hoping lolohea gets stuck in at 6 and I actually would have thought sutty was more likely to leave than Golding.

Absolute joke. We've just given away by far our only decent metre making prop. We'll do well to make top 8.

Crosby and Peteru have better average gains than Garbutt last season

how did their average metres per game compare?

I don't think anyone can deny he made hard yards down the middle in a beaten pack missing players.
He was injured for spells sadly but that's what happens in rugby

He might have been released because of attitude or fitness or it could just be that Furner wants a particular style of prop and doesn't see Garbutt as part of that. Assuming we have someone lined up from the NRL it makes sense for us to make sure we release players first, so the fact we're now down a player doesn't worry me at all.
