Absolutely

A sad moment for the club to lose our one true figurehead player but I'm sure no-one will begrudge his departure. It leaves a big void in the squad though.

A quality player and a loss to London RL.

Not surprising with a kid on the way. He has been massive for us, and someone who really embraced the move away from the North.

True legend sad too see him go

As has been said, a great servant to the club who has given 100% for us over the past 10 years despite more recent injuries and personal issues. I wish him and his family all the very best for the future. Top man.

Great servant to the club, but family comes first especially as the reason is genuine. Will be a hole that will be hard to fill, on and off the field.

A real Legend! - it will be such a sad day to see him return home but as others have said no one will say anything but The Best to Rob, you have been such a loyal player, we will Miss You so much!

The end of an era. Surely one of the most underrated players in Superleague for many years, although around the time he first got into the England squad I think people outside our own club finally began to appreciate how good he is. A shame he's had so many injuries over the years which have restricted his number of appearances. He showed our club great loyalty when I'm sure he could easily have bagged a move to a bigger club up north.

Sad news but not totally unexpected


When Rob walks off the Stoop for the last time it will be a very sad day for London RL
A great servant, a true legend, a true gent

Thanks for all you've done Rob. A great club servant and a top bloke and player. Hope your future is less clouded than the recent past.

PS - if you can act as a recruiting agent for us up there and send some more Cumbrian talent our way, that would be a huge bonus for our club.

Well said

What he said!







He will be missed, great player, great bloke, always had time to speak to you post match (even if you'd had too much to drink and were talking cobblers!!)

Any possibility of the Rob Purdham flag that was mentioned some time ago being made in time for the last home game in September?

Thanks Purdo for all you've done for the club





Hope he can one day return as coach.

Massive hole for your team next season. Would walk into any SL side. Been a true servant to your club

Whilst not wanting to exploit a sad loss for the club - but people always talk of Cumbria as an untapped hot-bed of RL talent. You have an amazing ambassador up there now - surely someone should talk about a link up with some of the talent pool up there.

Rob Purdham = London RL Legend, simple as.

Was thinking the same thing myself.

Would be a shame to lose him from the game altogether.

spot on..



If there is one man i would like to go home and big up the SL/rugby scene in London,then that would be Rob.

Good luck in what even you choose to do back home. you will missed around the club by fans and players and staff too.

A true gent and one who falls into the top four of London legends.

ROB PURDHAM

Eevn I might switch over to the West Stand for that ovation...

Devastating news, the kind that has left me feeling sad and feeling a little sick

The end of an era......Lets show him how highly regarded by all of us he is over the next few weeks before he heads North....A great player and even more important a thoroughly nice lad......

The news is not a surprise, but it is a massive, massive loss. True London legend.

Glad he stayed with us this year to be honest, after all the bloke went through last year.

will def be missed

All the Best Rob a great player for us
