[quote="Dave K.":38xruccv]Probably our 4th backrower and considering 3 will play, he would have been next in line if we had any injuries. You have to trust the club and the reasons for releasing him. Just hope we have a plan, can't just keep letting players go without replacing them.[/quote:38xruccv] I thought we were a back rower short before this so would like to think we’d be in for a replacement. Chamberlain may be used there now but him and Holmes can’t be relied upon week in week out. And Fash certainly isn’t a back rower.

[quote="The Dentist Wilf":lea2cvta]Since I heard about it three weeks ago my mind went straight to his friendship with Pete Riding and the worries we had about Balmforth going East with him, so Rovers favourite for me.[/quote:lea2cvta] Heaven forbid they promote from within, but best of luck to him whatever the reasons for his move are. At the end of the today I’d rather we have a team of players that are 100% committed, if he wasn’t fully committed due to Pete Riding not been at the club then no issue with the club letting him go elsewhere.

If we lose a few in putting that right, that’s fine. Carty & Myler give us an opportunity to finally put it right, backed by the owners.

Perhaps Cartwright has also seen a lot of potential in Kirby or somebody like Lennon Clark aswell during pre season and thinks they will be able to fill a gap left by Staveley

Disappointing IF Staveley is leaving.... My guess is he's already signed for another club, and that club has no cap space this season (probably Hull kr) maybe we wanted to see, how his fitness is progressing, before offering a contract extension , or another club were willing to take a gamble on his fitness. At the end of the day, im confident on the club's decision .

I hope when it's announced the club are truthful with the reasons for him leaving.
