He is retiring

I was just reading love rugby leagues article this morning that he was expected to sign for a club in Australia 2025 but may be open to uk offers as KR have their options for 9 next season.

The article must have it wrong as it didn’t mention any retirement if that’s his intention.

Reported weeks ago he was retiring (going home to Aus) this was by HKR

Great player but we should be looking for younger now

He’s only 31. He definitely isn’t retiring, his agent is in touch with clubs over here

I’ve watched him play for KR and he’s a good player what I’ve seen. 31 for a 9 isn’t that old. Still a couple of years in the tank.

Just an option but depends if we have plans for that next quota spot.

Hold Twitters beer.

He`s available for 2025 season:- https://www.loverugbyleague.com/post/hu ... d-to-clubs

No thanks

I thought he was older than 31 but still think we should be looking for players Hull KR also want, not their cast offs.

I just don't get this comment at all, every player we have ever signed could be viewed as a cast off in one way or another.

Quote ="Boss Hog"He`s available for 2025 season:- https://www.loverugbyleague.com/post/hu ... d-to-clubs'" He improves us and is a proven quality SL player. It’s a strong yes from me. It’s another of our problem positions for 2025 sorted if we get him.

That's not true at all.
We can sign players teams want to keep.

Hull KR are deciding he isn't good enough any more. Why wouldn't they keep him if he was up to 3 more years.

Yes it is, if we chose not to sign players because they weren't in another clubs plans, we probably wouldn't have any players.

Because he obviously takes up a quota spot, they have litten and now mcilorum coming in. I reckon they’re after getting Taylan May, Parcell is the most disposable of the cap players.

A quality hooker and would improve us. He would do me.

The fact he's a quota spot, one of the few we have left is the only real stumbling block for me. Do we use that spot on Parcell, or do we try to find someone else either in SL or abroad who may be better? The one thing he's got going for him is that he knows the comp, he's settled here and you know what you're gonna get.

I'm sure he'll stay at Leeds but if I was throwing money around to entice someone to come to Wakefield I'd go for Rhyse Martin.

The rumours is Leigh have offered Martin a marquee contract, I think he's a decent player but I'm not sure he's worth marquee money.

Strange but I’ve never fully been impressed by Martin when I’ve seen him. He seems to be rated highly though and I don’t see him week in week out. Certainly not marquee but then I don’t think PT was suggesting we spend marquee money on him.

I’d be happy enough if he came.

There isn’t much quality left domestically other than the odd good players like Parcell/Martin.

We will have to be pretty smart in the market to fill our last 5 or so spots.

I hope Storton rumour is true as I think he’d be a good pick up for second row. A position we only have Cam Scott signed for unless Mckmeeken is to be used there.

Be interesting to see where Vagana future lies. He played better at prop for me but still showed some glimpses he could possibly play second row. Though I feel he will play prop at SL level.

I don't feel Vagana is a SR but he's got plenty of time to learn the role.

I'm assuming Ashurst won't go with us to SL so Storton is a good replacement.
Good as he is I'm not sure Griffin is the one to see us through either. We need another impact second row.

I'd keep Pitts. He's earned his place for me and his leadership will be vital.

Those overseas places are valuable so it depends who is available before we decide on a Parcell or Martin.

I'm still waiting for the Cleary rumour.

Already signed PT.....

would keep Pitts and griffin, Griff mainly for a squad player depending on £'s. Pitts would be a big part of my leadership group next year if I was DP

Agree but Griffin would be an impact SR from bench and more of a rotation squad player rather than a starter. If the salaries would reflect that and adequate for both parties then we will see.

Russell appears to be covering the hooker position for Huddersfield.
