Quote ="Wires71"Hughes got grief because he stunk the place out in 2017. It's not like he is fantastic now. He's OK as a defensive 2nd rower - that's it. He could still be easily improved on.
Rhys had not been good enough for a few seasons. In fact he wasn't first pick at Leigh and only got 12 starts.
The idea of a cover player is that they can slot into a side to replace an injured player without a noticeable deleterious effect on the potency of the side. (See Mitch Brown). Rhys would be a step back and I suspect the motivation is more from pity than RL recruitment strategy.'"
He was first pick for Leigh, the 12 starts were because we signed a crock - didn't think he'd played that many. From which I believe he may be looking for an insurance payout due to a career ending injury
And if a business loses money in any industry surely it has no option but to introduce cutbacks, in this case offering reduced salaries or severance pay, this being accepted by the majority of players
