TBF I don't think many have and i find it difficult to take the standard of reserve grade rugby seriously. Ryan has clearly become frustrated at playing at that level which is understandable.

I hope he signs for Quins now and continues to enjoy his rugby as he has done over the past month or so. He can obviously play at SL level and i'm very disappointed it won't be with Rovers.

Speaking to Ryan, his biggest frustration this season in the reserves has been the quality of ball he has been receiving from our half backs. With I'anson playing very few reserve games and Hardcastle missing for a long period it is possibly a fair grievence for a backrow forward.
However, in the same period i would say that Scott Taylor and in particular Dominic Dee have come on in leaps and bounds and can now be seen as better prospects.

Seems like Eso has got a deal already offered down south, hes a great lad and got a lot of potential i think Hull FC should have kept him all them years ago TBH.

Rovers loss tho and will be a good signing for Quins

Can't disagree with any of that.

Would agree with that to a certain extent, though i don't really see Ryan as a prospect in the same sense you describe both Scott and Dom as there is an age difference of 3-4 years. Also Ryan is proven outside the comfort zone of acadamy/reserve grade rugby whereas the other two have yet to taste that level of physicality and i would say that neither are any better than Ryan was at the same stage in his development.

But is guess its all about opinions.

How old is Dee? Assumed he was in his 20s with him coming to the club after a spell at Bradford i think.

I have to confess i don't know (i assumed he was 18/19). But if he is in his 20's he needs loaning out to a NL club sharpish imo to further aid his development.

He's 19.

Right decision to get rid of Esders imo, with the Reserves format changing next year we need to bring some younger players through. Taylor will take his place in the squad next year.

Good luck to him at Quins or wherever he ends up.

Do you not think he was up to Super League standard? I'm pretty dissappointed to hear this news. We signed him then never gave him a chance, what's the point? I would like to know Digger-the-Dog/Bandito's views on this?

He'll just back the club to the hilt, as normal. HKR can do no wrong in his eyes.




btw. I know it isn't a massive shock, but do we know Esders is off, or is it just the OP saying it at this point?

From what I have seen so far, I do not paticularly rate Taylor and do not see what the hype is about. I could be eating humble pie in a few years though.

Nail on the head.

Other young players will be promoted to the first team squad next season.

been offerd two year deal...

Good luck for the future Ryan
