More than just a few though,General Zod (no reason to doubt him) reckons RL has missed the 2nd most tackles in SL and with most KR fans demanding a better defensive plan obviously the coaching staff see his departure can only help this.

No high horse here....It's a forum and this is a discussion thread about Poore and Cockayne going to Hull KR with Rumour on a player exchange with Lovegrove and Caro who KR appear happy to offload? I'm not into abuse exchange on discussion forums thanks I'd rather talk rugby.

No lists for Santa here either but a RL Club that is competitive next season though would be good but unlikely if we take your cast offs and give you our key players in return.

Caro can develop into a decent winger? You do it then and while you're at it take Peter Fox back and teach him to catch the ball and tackle at the same time as Caro.

The thing is your skint and rather than just take your players for a fraction of there worth we're giving you a great player in lovegrove who I wouldn't let go personally and Caro for poore who you say is a state of origin player but then so was O'Hara who we had for two seasons and played ten games and cockayne who is average at best

Still seems pretty hypothetical to me right now. We'll see, I guess.

I think most fans would rather he stayed at Rovers. I've heard that he is going to fight for his place and hope to make his way into the team. Hope that's true and that his efforts are recognised by the coaching staff.

I would like to hope that all the players fight for their places in which case Rhys will be no different to anyone else so his efforts won't need recognising as everyone will be in the same boat.

I would definitely keep Rhys and if the only reason for him being offloaded is his inability to tackle, surely coach as good as Craig is should be able to get round that and improve his defence. Somebody who gives 100% every time is worth his weight in gold.

If I was playing for Hull KR I would give 100% every time. Any amateur or lower division player would give 100% if they were offered a shot at playing SL but doesn't mean they are going to be good.

However, one thing which can't be coached and should play a small part in a players retention is loyalty and Rhys has that in abundance.

Personally if CS decided that RL wasn't in his plans then I would side with the coach as sentiment will get you in the mess we found ourselves in from the late 80s onwards.

Now ET has gone officially, you might be able to bring in Poore.

Love the quote from his agent claiming he came over too young, he was 29 FFS.

I'm surprised you find it surprising, 29 is practically nursery school age for FC recruitment

Once again, it turns to Hull FC, no wonder nobody comes on here, near impossible to get decent rugby debate.
