Hoy and Brown gone with immediate effect

Brown's left to spend more time with his air fryer.

The Nu Brown one is the one that feels odd to me, seemed to be a likeable lad, he's been decent when playing 9, maybe rumours that he didn't like the setup are true, either way that's 2 quota spots available straight away, unsure what sort of salary they free up, I imagine Brown's was larger than Hoys? A new 7 and a 2nd row would do nicely with Walker going to FB and Balmforth and Houghton at 9

Its not odd if yoy read the reason he left.

Not seen reason he's left? Is there details anywhere?

Hodgson, Balmforth and Houghton to share the hooking duties until the end of the year will do me. Hodgson's highlights in the Reserves game last week make him look like the next Daryl Clark!

I was told he had a meeting stating his wish to leave, a bit similar to Ellis, was sold the dream about the facilities etc but instead they are working out of a classroom at the university.

Doubt it. He's played at Fev. More likely just not enjoying it and obviously tough with his missus 12,000 miles away.

Nothing some baking and XHamster can't sort out

I can’t quote tweet off my phone at the minute. Comeonyouull- just what what I was told by someone who’d know. Think it’s just an excuse to leave to be honest was never gonna be here for more than a year anyway.

I'd doubt the club would be saying he was going home for a family lllmess if it wasn't true.

I guess not - maybe he requested an 'exit interview' and he gave some home truths

Yeah. We need to get away from that, unless you're signing a worldy what's the point in a one year deal that's not going to be extended. Lets hope we get a decent out-and-out seven on a two year deal with an option for another. Someone to mentor Charles.

Absolutely. It was a panic signing after losing out on Clune, no back up plan.

yes its clearly normal for a bloke to leave without pay and unfollow all the socials of the team he played for...... with no message from said player

the old 'compassionate' grounds, he'll be back in SL by june

such convenient timing as well with hoy tony stan leaving and whispers of loan paybacks ....

Used the tried and tested ilness in family excuse

I'm starting to think that the balloon will well and truly deflate after 6pm. HDM seem to be saying its a DOR to be appointed, to oversee all Rugby matters. Also saying that AP is open to investment (but nothing about selling) but that will be later in the year. Can see some very angry calls/texts into the show tonight

People got a bit carried away based off a speculative Yorkshire Post article. He's never going to annouce anything major in a radio interview.

you mean like sacking Radford

He's not going to announce a major investment on the radio. That would be done via a press release.

We need to be looking at moving Tuimavave out or upstairs. He's been finished for years and taking up massive amounts of cap. No wonder this club is in such a mess

Crazy how much he must be on, when he signed he was a decent SL centre, but to think what we offered him for a 4 year deal, even if Pearson was stretching the truth, must be over 150k

Crazy to think we are still paying him that salary when his appearances this season will probably not reach double figures?

An absolute ludicrous decision to tie down an average SL centre with an injury record to 4 years on a decent wedge of the cap.

Those deals should go out only to the likes of a French, Field a la Wigan.

Players who if left would weaken your competitive chances and enhance the prospects of the buying team.

Give him a white coat ,He's been in sickbay longer than any junior doctor so he must have picked up some knowledge .
