Player welfare, as a rugby club we have an moral obligation to look after players, if we aren't going to play them and they have the chance to play SL, then I think we have to do that,particularly for players who have given their all for the club.

Not too bothered about Hadley, but think it's an error with Litten.

Hopefully Lewis

No way will it be him.

If we can get a decent prospect (Maybe a hooker) then it makes sense to do the deal early.

Rovers have recalled Lewis from a loan spell, maybe just a coincidence.

True. And technically Mini and Manu and maybe Paea.
Perhaps "departing fringe players" would be more accurate.

I think that speculation regarding Mikey Lewis going to Hull is wide of the mark.

Over the next few months it wouldn't surprise me if there were a few swap deals amongst youngsters. The recent draft has placed a few lads with the club they didn't want to be at. Most have accepted it but a few players and parents have been voiciferourous in their displeasure.

Regarding Litten and Hadley. Good business for both clubs. Neither are in your plans so it gets them off the books early and both of them get into Rovers 17 so it is win win.

Litten was offered a deal , but turned it down.
So no error by the Club . Just a player wanting to move on .

wonder who will play hooker if Houghton gets injured?

Brad Fash

Always thought Jez was too small and light to make it as a top hooker

So did Radders Jimmy

That is strange someone made the same comment to me a couple of weeks ago so I checked their individual statistics on the official site. I was very surprised to find that Danny was 173cm tall and weighed 82kg. Jez was 176cm tall and weighed 84kg. I tried checking today but obviously Jez has been removed from the team list.
