Edited for accuracy.

When do we sell Walshaw and any other talent we have.

Now murphy has gone, wait for the announcement that he has been drafted into the england squad......

it will be alright for mcnamara to pick him now he is at another club

Murphy wanted to go. We got the best deal possible. We have a young Walshaw who will relish some gametime this year.

The time they want to leave and go play for some other team.

I know your as passionate as anyone over young players developing and getting a first team shirt, but you know as well as anyone we are not in any kind of position to keep anyone, when the big clubs wave the cheque book.
Disappointing but reality mate I'm afraid.
We have to make this club great again to be in that position.

Fair point, until we are competing with the lokes of Huddersfield we will struggle to keep players.

I understand that the departure of Murphy will give Luke Walshaw more opportunities to develop and if he does then the trick will be holding on to him. Continuous improvement is what we need to see and I'm happy with the way the squad is coming together.

Now need to see a couple of half backs and a prop.

If they want to go though what do we do? Keep an unmotivated player for an extra year and then lose him for nothing or get the best deal for the club. I'd have loved him to stay but it wasn't an option by the sounds and the deal is a good one so hopefully our next generation can come through and fill the void.

I don't believe AM wanted to leave this club untill he discovered he was been offered in a deal.

Which doesn't stack up with what the Hudds guy says in the press statement, which in itself is an unusual thing to say if it isn't true.

i thought we could have moved on from a selling club he had a contract if that matters how many 2nd rowers do we want if the players offerd were in positions we were thin in then think about it nothing changes does it we give into uncle ken

Doesn't sound that way to me, it looks like what it does, that he stayed to see this season out after the approach by Hudds when we were in Administration and it was probably always on the cards he was going,once Hudds made their offer known. I think it's clear we didn't want to let him leave and could have made him stay but if a player wants away, let them.
