Jon Clarke is the hooker we should be targeting imo. We wont be though.

PNG hooker (sure Stan could put in a good word) so non-fed, 27 - 28 ish, out of contract at the Sharks (unless he's signed for someone recently), loads of NRL experience, very direct livewire player (not dissimilar to Stan), just seems to tick a lot of boxes imo

a great sportsman, will be sad to see him leave the club. such a nice guy on and off the pitch. did anything for the fans! good luck in the future shaun.
Deserves some recognition at the last match defiantly!

Ah right, excellent, thanks for the info mate.

well said!

Been fantastic for us but joking apart how many more bangs to the head can he take before he suffers permanent damage. What a great bloke,an example on and off the pich.Good luck wherever you go or whatever you do.!

I haven't seen a report of him resigning.

Cronulla have just signed De Gois so he could be looking for a club, good shout.

Has done well for us in his 4 years, started off really well and played the Rugby that made him Englands number 1 in 2009. Sadly slightly lost that form and it probably is time for pastures new now. Good Luck Shaun

Doesn't owe us anything, always gave it his all and a consummate professional.

Good luck wherever you end up Shaun and thanks for being such a wonderful player to watch.

Just as a side note, an absolutely disgraceful way for the club to announce that a player who has been such a fantastic servant to the club is leaving.

Why?

What do you suggest? Having a big fanfare over the fact he's not getting a new deal??

He deserves more than a foot note at the bottom of an article.

just what i was thinking !! deserves more credit than what is being given to him! he has done loads for the club and he gets a little but of writing underneath galeas new deal. disgraceful!

He deserves more than a footnote.

Should have got him a personalised card from moonpig.com

funny guy.

Grow up. The bloke's put his body on the line for four years and now has a fizzog worse that Gérard Depardieu.

Whether he's got a better offer from Widnes (if this is the case) and he and his young family now want to return to their roots then fair enough.

If you can't find it within yourself to respect any player that pulls on a shirt then I suggest you sling your hook and go watch darts.

I have great respect for him. Why people are getting over excited because he got 150 words and not 250 words to me is baffling. I suggest you find a hobby.

Top professional he has done the city of Hull proud..Good Luck Shaun

I agree. It seems like Briscoe isn't happy with the timing of the announcement either, looking at his twitter message he didn't get to tell the rest of the players before Rovers' put it on the website.

Got to question how Rovers' have handled this, to me it suggests they wanted to keep SB but the draw of moving close to home was too large and Hull KR have spit their dummy out.

Listen, I'm not going to argue with you about this, I agree with a lot of what you've got to say about the game.

It's not about a word count, it wouldn't have taken anyone going out of their way to give him his own piece on the web site. You clearly feel that getting a footnote is enough for a player that's been an exemplary club man for four years, that's fine.

It's not the wordcount people question, it's been shoved at the bottom of an article primarily about another player.

Stop being a =#FF0000Edit-RW.

The amount of words has nothing to do with it.
That he was clearly an after thought is the point.
Its called respect.
It was also nice of the club to let it slip before Briscoe had chance to tell his team mates.

We obviously should of had an article on the website lauding his departure then it would seem. I don't recall too many instances of a player not being retained by any club as something to shout home about it's not a pleasing thing. Perhaps if the clubs motor mouth didn't go blabbing to the hdm again rovers wouldn't have felt the need to release the news first and in the manor they have to avoid another mail 'exclusive'
