Yeah brave of kirk to pull clint over from behind,takes a proper man to do that eh ?

I shouldn't jump to conclusions cos I know ur not that type of person

Oh dear. Following Newton's "effort" on Tansey in the Easter derby 2010, Barrie McDermott commented "A taxi/escort is one thing, bushwhacking someone in the back is another".

I'm clearly getting my incidents and games mixed up.

Welham.





Anyway, thanks Newton for three great years. As others have hinted it's probably for the best for the club (for several reasons) but a great player for us on his day.

Farah slacks and port of an evening = middle age + absent mindedness

I think the derbies will lack something without Newton, Cockayne, Lauaki and Briscoe v Fox. More pantomime villains required as part of Rovers recruitment.

I was warming my lateral brain up for "Only Connect" with the fragrant Ms. Coren.

Could your team lack a bit of leadership next season ? Losing big players like vella , newton , briscoe etc

I reckon green could be captain next season he aint afraid to speak to the ref

Dobson and Green will give us direction and hopefully a younger pack will have a bit more energy. Much as those players will be missed, we had become a bit one-paced.

Galea would make a decent captain. O'Hara and Withers have plenty of experience. Wheeldon, Welham and Horne should be well past the hand-holding stage.

Nah, all part of the best buddies pact between Adam n Hudge

You lot now just need to do summat with that annoying centre you have

Good call.

Jordan Turner? What's he ever done to you lot?

Nothing, in fact he was one of our best players in the craven park derby

Better than trying to gouge a players eyes out,then chinning him when he gets up.

If Clint loves the city, the fans and the club as much as he claims, why doesn't he see his contract out?

He's been here four years. Let's face it, as a sportsman, you want to play at the highest level and that's the NRL. At thirty, this is his last chance.

Has he got kids? If not, maybe him and his partner want to start a family and want to do that back in Australia with the rest of their family to support them.

He has been poor this season when I've seen him. Certainly seems to have lost his enthusiasm at rovers. Good move by the club I reckon as he'll be on a wedge

He missed half the season injured but has looked off the pace ever since he came back.

His missus is from Hull though isn't she?

I've no idea, it was just wild speculation on my part.

Yeah she is a nurse I think

Manchester.
