Apologies if already posted (can't recall seeing it) but AP confirmed Steve Michaels is leaving at the end of the season on [url=https://youtu.be/uqFNLPdUhyw?t=36m55sRugby AM[/url

All the best to him. He is a great servant to the club, fantastic character and always gives his all. Wonder if he will head home or stick around SL?

Had a good try scoring record against the dobbins, it was him who easily waltzed around cockend to seal the comeback game as well.

You can't be sentimental with player choices though when there are restrictions on numbers of overseas players so his departure makes sense from a team management point of view.
However he leaves with my best wishes - always tries his best despite not being the biggest player around.

As for the younger players leaving people need to realise that very few make it all the way - its a tough ladder to climb. The article on the Hull FC website about Carlos and the NYC team of the decade makes interesting reading. Remember these were from the best youth comp in the world with presumably the best coaching and development. Some have gone on already to be big stars, some are much lower profile and one, if it is indeed the same person, has suffered the ultimate RL humiliation.

I thought links were OK, or has that changed?

The only issue with youtube is if the account on youtube has the right to post that material. If they have then there is no issue linking to the video. If it was an official SL or club video then removing the link is ridiculous

=#FF0000Apologies for the link removal, I'll openly admit to still being unsure when it comes to links, especially on YouTube.

Link has been restored.

You don't need to apologise. It's just that everyone acts daft over youtube
