Quote: Alffi_7 "Powell seems to rate Holroyd very highly, so Longstaff's appearances were going to be limited, sensible decision for him to go get some gametime elsewhere.
Currie / Nicholson first choice with Holroyd, Harrison and Whitehead in that order able to fill in.
Yes, the squad has a bit of an unbalanced look and back row certainly looks light in terms of experience, but Powell obviously has a lot of faith in Nicholson and Holroyd and keeping Longstaff wasn't going to change that experience issue anyway.'"
Yes, I agree to a certain extent, but it was rumoured that Hull FC wanted to sign him on a permanent basis.
He is a Yorkshire based player, so the move would have suited him, and he could have had a season long loan there.
We seem to be messing the kid around, by insisting that he returned to us, only to loan him out elsewhere,
