Signed for Hull KR for next year, not unexpected.

Shame - hes come good this year after an indifferent start. I think we should be able to find a suitable replacement who can be more consistent.

Confirmation?

I can't see it announced anywhere

Confimed in League Express.

That's a shame then.
Assuming we are losing Anderson as well that leaves us with England and Simon as good quality props, with possibly Fifita but he's surely only a short term role, then with Walker, Annakin and Yates as next in line who in my opinion are not ready to take the role, it leaves us very short in an area not easy to fill.

Is Keegan Hirst still coming? Is he any good?

We've been posting this fact/info on here for weeks. 2 year deal for 5k per year more than Wakey deal.

From what I have seen watching occasional Batley games he looks big and strong in the majority but has a tendency to go missing at times and has been accoused of not running his weight in the past. Hopefully full time training would change that.

I hope we can tempt Mullally back. Or look at Luke Burgess.

Be a massive shame if true. Scruton has been a solid workhorse since he joined us, whose going to share the captain duties with Kirmond next year? Finn?

I'd of also liked Mullaly back however he signed a long contract with Leeds just last season.

... but surely that's an SL only contract

Maybe a swap deal with Green. He is another massive unit, and is off contract at the end of the year.

What about someone like Ashurst as captaincy material, or even Miller

I'm surprised that he's chosen to go to HKR to be honest - seems an odd choice; can only be about money.

It's a shame, but he is very replaceable.

asmadasa those news reports are conjecture at the moment. I know the rumour has done the rounds for ages but there is no official statement from either club or player. I'm anticipating him to go, no smoke without fire but we all know these things can fall through.

I'm happy with it if Trinity get Fafita and Kelly...

Solid prop but not exceptional. If he's chasing money who can blame him? He has a family presumably so good luck to him.
Surely not that hard to replace.

Well I don't think replacing him will be a problem. In fact if 5 he guy does not improve over the next couple of games he along with a few more should be dumped. He showed some good form round about the time M C said he knew of 2 squad members had signed contracts at other clubs for next season. Good luck to him and all the best .

Out of interest why is it an odd choice

I suppose as it stands, Wakey look a more attractive club, they have more chance of a top 8 finish, thus making sure of SL next year. Seems a sidewards move in reality and (if true) 5K and a commute, it doesn't seem worth it.

Not the type of signing to improve Rovers that much and 32 next season, On the other hand, although a gamble I think Kelly will be a cracking signing for Wakey, not sure he would work with Miller though as very similar type players.

After his unwarranted omission from the Cup Final team last season, I doubt Green would want to work under Chester again. He wants a gig down under and may be prepared to play reserve grade if it means he gets to go.

Agreed Kelly and miller are a simular type of players so would be one or the other not both together.

I wonder if Miller might leave at the end of the year if he can get an NRL deal, he was desperate to go back after Hull and nearly signed back for Wests. I wonder if his recent form has revived interest from an NRL club, thus the interest in Kelly.

I would like us to try to tie diwn Miller for longer regardless as to whether Kelly comes or not.

Over the past 2 months or so, Miller is starting to show that he is more than just a support player.

Also, on Thursday Kelly showed that he is more than just a support player too.

If these two were in a partnership we will have two pacy and quality halves in tandem.

When was the last time we saw that at Belle Vue
