No great loss for me, not a bad player and not a great one. I don't personally think he has been one of our best players. He plays better at LF and tackles well around the middle but we have generally played him in the second row and he does not defend well out there.

several players could replace him without having a detrimental effect on the team, Simon,Annakin,Molloy,Crowther.

surprising signing for Hull ,but certainly not unexpected. Rumour been doing the rounds for ages.

For me he is a loss but not irreplaceable.
Every team needs a Washbrook and I like him but there are others.

If Hull are playing him at hooker you will be disappointed.
His skills are tackling and running wide, with a quite a nice pass while running wide.
He isn't quick from dummy half and his pass from ptb is only adequate.

I'd keep him but not at all costs.
It surprised me that Smith started playing him off the bench but it seems to work ok.

I will be sad to see him go. He has been one of our top performers this year with his best moment being the late try under the posts V Cas. Think he was key to the win at home to Hull FC too.
Earlier in the year we heard McShane and Washbrook to Hull and I was more upset about Washbrook than Chubby.

Agree.
Washbrook is an excellent professional and gives his best although not a worldbeater. He certainly deserves more credit than our resident experts are prepared to give him.

Good player who doesn't let anyone down. Gets through a ton of work defensively and this year has looked more threatening with the ball when running out wide. A hooker though he is not in anything other than a stop gap measure.
