Lovegrove came put of nowhere and was a nobody when he arrived. Since then he has proved to be a passionate and skillfull player which the media tend to overlook. Just one example was when a certain Cory Patterson was injured, Rhys stepped in to cover for him for a few games and performed better than Cory ever did. The pack will be worse off without him next season. I blame Sandy for this.

That's a real shame and an undignified way to treat such a loyal servant. Lets be honest here, Rhys was no worldbeater, but he's a good honest pro who always gave everything when he played. That's all fans ask for.

Rovers have let themselves (and more importantly the fans) down on this one.

It's the location of the gig that was important for him.

Fair point Stan but he didn't have to go all the way to London just to escape goundril did he ?

Nobody can question the commitment and loyalty that Rhys has shown to the club. At times he has been treated unfairly by the club. Was told last season he wasn't wanted, but he carried on determined to fight for a place and stay at Rovers. You cannot blame him for deciding to leave for the good of his family! His partner has family and friends in London and by him going there it's a win win for both of them. No doubt Rhys will get a starting place in the Broncos team and a new challenge playing for a team determined to return into Super League. He will be missed both on and off the field, I'm gutted he's going, but I actually can see that it is for the best of the family and I wish them all the best in their next chapter.
