I'd bring him off the bench for Doyle and put Lilley and Brough sharing dummy half (which they do anyway). Give the centres a bit of running ball. Plus the start of the season tells us that we could do with cover in the halves.

Rowan Milnes has played the last two matches for Hull KR

We're not going to get a loan halfback from a SL team unless we can guarantee some gametime. SL teams will only loan if they can't give their own players a game. I'd be looking to give Race and Jowitt some game time if possible so that when either Brough or Lilley are unavailable we're not chucking a kid in at the deep end.

Milnes seems to be getting a few games at HKR so he won't be back.

Oh really. I missed that, how'd he get on?

He did ok and kept his place when Lewis had served his suspension in fact Lewis has now gone on loan to York for game time

I’ve heard Leeds are big admirers of Scurr and right now with him being out of contract, could he look at a big deal in SL?

As much as people won’t like it, Scurrying to Leeds on a four year deal might be a decent option if they then loan him back to us for 2022

You'll have to watch the show on Monday but since I put the news out there Wigan and Castleford have also offered him a deal.

Is Craig giving you a commission for the free advertising ?

I actually agree. I know there's comments floating about like "we'll see Nigel Woods intentions whether we keep him or not"

But it's not simply a case of breaking the bank or him putting his hand in his pocket to keep Scurr. We're a PT team. We can't really compete if someone offers him a FT contract.

Well we seem to get on with Leeds ok, so if he went to the club he supports and they loan him straight back that would the least worst option.

Agreed on one level but there's no point giving interviews about SL if we can't keep him for say 2 years.

We can only keep him if financially we can compete and to be honest if we can I would be worried we are overstretch in ourselves

The guy is a roofer playing part time rugby at 21yo, if he goes I see no blame to attach to the club or Scurr. If he signs p/t for another champ club then yes I would be worried but I don’t see this happening.

The broader question here is whether, and how, we are going to ever bridge the gap from where are now (part-time team in the middle of the Champ therefore players will just move on to 'better' teams) to being a SL club ourselves.

For all Nigel Wood's fine sounding talk about aiming for SL it's not going to happen if every decent player we produce is just going to hop off to a SL club as soon as they show promise.

In fact what is even the point of having an Academy if it's just to produce players for SL clubs?

With Wigan, Leeds, Saints and Cas in for him knowing their financial might and simple position above us in the game please propose how we keep him?
