Yeah agree. I think if Ronnie's job had been up for grabs he'd have stayed

Good luck to him at Saints. I don't think he ever really had a future here after the game v FC in May.

This sums it up for me. Woolf looks a hard case. I suspect he will make him train harder and lose weight and be better as a result. Could see saints using him as an impact bench player in the second row/loose like Murdoch M was at Warrington.
If woolf gets him fitter it won’t reflect well on our back room staff who’ve had 3 years to get him fit and failed to do so.

The responsibility of being fit ultimately rests with the player. You can train as hard as you want, but if someone’s living on junk food at home it’s a losing battle..

I agree it is mainly down to the player but if he does not do it himself and is on marquee money, the coaching/conditioning team need to man manage him to better fitness.
I reckon Brian McD would have been onto him relentlessly and cajoled/bullied him to be a better, fitter player so as not to let down his teammates.
Woolf may also fail to do this, time will tell.

Do we think the club aren't announcing this yet until they have a new signing, Hurrell is a very popular player maybe they want to announce a signing alongside him leaving for some good PR?

Very possibly Christopher.. interesting to see what the club says now in terms of recruitment. Still no news on Martin either.. i don't think i've even seen that they've offered him a deal...

One thing is for certain if Bielsa were the coach of the Rhinos Hurrell would be three stone lighter and much fitter

Being weighed daily before you start training helps focus the mind. If the results are going the wrong way, you get put through the mill on your own until it improves.

Things are taking shape - Lui going home, Connie on his way , King off to Salford . Just need to offload Martin and Tom Briscoe , and with the right recruits , plus those already announced , we have the makings of a team that can challenge the top 2 . Only query then is if our coach is up to it - can he be as ruthless and tactically astute as needed ?

I’ve not always agreed with selection policy this year but then I didn’t under Brian Mac either.

However Agar has done a really good job. Maybe he gets to go round with the squad he’s put together.

I suspect Agar himself will call time when he’s had enough, or feels a new voice is needed to take the team forward.

Tom Briscoe won’t be going anywhere and Ive s feeling Martin will be retained now
