If it is the case I hope we have a clause in the deal that says we get first refusal should he decide to come back to SL.
Or does that only apply if he was contracted to us and we receive a fee?
Like others have said it might be a bit soon for him to try his luck out there something Arthur referred to when it first came about.
He?s off contract, we can?t put any clauses or anything in his future contract whatsoever. I?m not sure it?s fair giving him stick about ?loyalty?. It?s a short career and he will have been offered very good money to go play in the best RL competition in the world and go experience living in a different country before he has a family to think about. Good luck to him I say, he?ll go well over there, and if he does it probably guarantees him an England squad place for the WC. I don't think anybody is giving him stick, at least on here, but I but do think it's fair to be dissapointed in his decision to leave now, especially in the context of the last couple of years where the club has gone the extra mile in protecting his long term health. For the record, I've always thought he would be a world class player, and he think he'll become one in the NRL. However, I do wonder if the Warriors are the right club for any English player trying to make it over there. I really hope he leaves the Rhinos on good terms, because I thought you could sense Arthur's dissapointment at yesterday's presser. I don?t think the Warriors is the right club either to be honest. |

I'm not saying I would drop him, just that he's not one of the first names on the teamsheet each week anymore. I'd look to try to get gametime for the likes of Ben Littlewood (when he's available) and perhaps a game here or there for Presley Cassell.

I just hope he leaves on good terms and we do not drop him as if he does become available again in 12 months, we want to be first in line rather than Wanky / Catalans / Wigan.

Hopefully the next out of contract player is Frawley out and Hastings announced
Only makes sense to me if Croft is triggering his release cause for 26. We'd look way and expensively overstocked at half back with Hastings, Croft, Connor and Sinfield. In fact if I was, Sinny I'd leave. |

Lots of players pick up longer term injuries when they are younger, I'm pleased the club stands by them it shows we care and helps to create better human beings. In the case of Gannon, it's disappointing that after the club took the decision to prioritise his health over their prospective gain, that he has returned the favour by leaving at the first opportunity.
We have other kids coming through, we should now focus on them and develop them and if that means Gannon gets less game time as a result for the rest of this season then so be it. He has looked out for himself, the club has to look out for itself too.
Totally agree with what you say on supporting players, particularly younger players, though injury. It pays off in the long term and it's just the right thing to do. On Gannon - I think he's better (most talented) second rower, and he'd play every week for me. As a club we have to give ourselves the best chance of winning something this year, and he makes us better. We have little chance of winning the GF this year. Play offs at 5/6 at best and with Arthur going as well We need to give some valuable game time to the next group of players. |

Thankfully I don't think Arthur is thinking that way. Win the next two games and we are likely in the top 4 with 10 games played. The ambition should be always to win, not to experiment with kids who haven't earned a spot. The likes of Lumb, Edgell and Sinfield have already got very good exposure under Arthur and when the time comes, if they are ready, I'm sure others will too.
