Every player is a loss imo if they are not replaced by someone of equal or greater ability.

Tickle is a very good second rower. The drop off move is fair enough, IMO. Engaging markers to tire them out is a tactic most teams employ. He doesn't have the skills to run out wide, so doesn't.

Danny has been a superb servant for the club. Ok he is not a rampant line breaking second rower but he is so consistent, rarely misses a tackle , gives 100 % every game and his kicking ( including drop goals and drop outs) are under rated. I for one will miss him and so will our coach who must have him as one of the first names on the team sheet each week. Goodbye and thanks.

Can't agree with that at all.

His biggest fault is his apparent frequent loss of concentration in defence resulting in a poor attempt and a break, or worse a try, by the opposition.

Prime example being Oliver Wilkes try for Wakefield the other week.

Completely agree has been weak in defence for a long while but it has always been blamed on his centres and wingers on that side eg Hally etc. nowhere near as good as many forwards in the league should have taken a fee for him last season.
