I would have got rid of Berrigan, he has one year left and has been a dissapointment to say the least. I see a player going through the motions and OK he is being forced to play in odd postitions, but he still ain't performing and a year from now we will be in the market for a new hooker.

Would you have gone with Houghton and Hodgson as hookers for next season then? |

So you'd get rid of Berrigan and replace him with Hodgson? |

| Quote ="Ian P"Its a sad day when yet another promising youngster leaves the club because of a lack of vision within the coaching staff. The club are losing out on players they have spent money on and developed, now KR will reap the benefit as Josh is going to be a world class player.
Wrap it up as you like, but some one is making some very odd decisions and the loss of a current England academy star borders on the criminal. The only club will get no return on the investment it has made in Josh will be the reports of him doing well followed by the constant jibes from the red and whites.'"
Deary me.
Did we offer him a contract? Did he want to stay? Was it the money or the promise of first team action?
Why not try to emote less and think more. |

Let me get this straight...
You'd have paid off TWO YEARS of a highly lucrative contract in order to keep a 19 year old who might or might not make the grade?
Really? |

| Hi guys, first time poster long time reader.
Anyway the main thing that annoys me about this move and others like wheeldon is that rovers can declare them as home grown and local players on their quota.
This to me is wrong seeing as though they've had nothing to do with their development but will reap the credit and benefits when all this federation/non- federation trained and local trained players etc. come in soon  |

Im disappointed to see him go as he must of been doing something right to get Reserve player of the year but on the other hand he's been playing second row, which is a position we have more than enough cover in and we've just promoted a second rower to the first team squad who is two years younger.
Even if he did go back to hooker for next season, he's still going to be 3rd choice at best. At least we've still got Hall, Houghton, the Briscoes, Kent, Lyne etc. I'd off been hugely disappointed if any of these went.

that's what I thought aswell, was definitely the story going round when his signing was announced 2 years ago. |

Will Berrigan be back next season ?
Are you sure ?
I think the last year of his contract is optional and I can see the club wishing to adjust that finacially at least. I was being slighty provocative with Berro, I did offer a clue ...................
but people failed to use there nonce to pick up on it.
I was pointing out that did FC offer Josh enough money and if they did why are KR not going to pay any compo to FC. |

People can say whatever they want about him leaving or using him leaving as a chance to slag off our youth structure.
The fact of the matter is he will have more 1st grade opportunities at Rovers than he would here so you cant knock him for leaving to further his career.
This choice was nothing to do about money despite how people may be trying to spin it.

I think you're being harsh on Ian P in his assessment of Berrigan.
If we rewind to mid season before any ins/outs at hooker, I would have said Lee/Houghton at hooker with Hodgson as cover is good enough and releasing Berrigan could have freed up wages to bring in a class halfback (totally unconvinced that we'll have an ever-present Horne/Long combo next season).
Berrigan is undoubted class but has never been fit whilst here and looks like he'd rather be anywhere else - that sort of body language from the senior player in the squad is disappointing when he should be right in the mix rallying the troops. Maybe he would accept a release since he looks totally fed up, who knows?
As it is, Lee's burnt his bridges, so maybe we were right to go with Berro and Houghton after all but Berro won't be playing at the start of the season, so if Houghton is injured, what then?
