[quote="weaver93":2fdye0jb]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 .[/quote:2fdye0jb] I'm not as confident as you, the club and Myler have to prove they can make the right decisions, it looks so far like they are slowly getting things right, but they made a real mess with Abdul. I hope when it's announced the club are truthful with the reasons for him leaving.

My take would be that Myler knowing he cocked up with Abdull wouldnt take the chance of a new deal for Staveley so early in the season Think we have lossed a good prospect

[quote="Cuddleclub":2j8oyzde]Well that’s two gone who obviously can’t get up to the desired standards of fitness, just got to back Cartwrights judgement. 11 plus months on from an ACL and still not back fit should be 6-9 months, maybe question marks on his desire to get fit.[/quote:2j8oyzde] It's not just about a coaches judgement on how you play or train but about your whole application to the career and the group. You toe the line follow the instructions and get your head down with Cartwright, or your out, the coaches and physios do their bit but the players have to do theirs, that's what one of the assistant coaches told me weeks ago on this subject. And so it has been!! This is not just strong action, but also a lesson for the rest I guess!

A hard nosed NRL coach, who’s worked in elite environments over the last twenty years, makes a decision on a player. I’m comfortable with whatever conclusion he reaches.

[quote="Irregs#16":artqn8jz]It is a really odd one. The way he is built, perhaps doesn't lend itself to this injury not repeating itself? Or, it could be what Myler was alluding to last week, the December 1st deadline for players beginning talks, and he was going to leave at the end of the year, so we thought we would release him a year early.[/quote:artqn8jz] ACL injuries are not about your build ( I work in the injury profession) There’s a lot of speculation about why he’s going but the most obvious one is that he wants to. That would be a good reason to release him. Like most my feeling is that he’d have done well for us but if he’s not fully committed then we need him to go. As people have said we need to trust the coaches
