Kevin Larroyer : Mon Nov 28, 2016 2:32 pm  
I see that Larroyer has been attacking the club in the press for an alleged and perceived dishonesty towards him.

Unfortunately for him, he has become a casualty of the relegation scenario. I truly feel for him and his family in this regard.

That said I really think his form in the last 2 seasons has gone downhill and wouldn't warrant selection now for Newcastle out on dual reg, so I was mortified when we offered him a 2 year contract extension. I think he has reaped what he sowed in terms of current employment. He's been beyond cackamalla the last 2 seasons and he's been treated the same. If he is as good as he thinks he is, he should be snapped up elsewhere no problem.

There are a couple more retained players that should be joining him and looking for alternative employment too imo.

Anybody agree or disagree?

MIKE SMITH- THE BEST CENTRE HULL HAS EVER MADE!

Re: Kevin Larroyer : Mon Nov 28, 2016 4:11 pm  
to be fair to the players its not their fault they get these contracts or renewals etc we need to be a bit more vigilant in our recruitment in future even more so if we manage to return to superleague. we seem to reward average players

Horne and Salter for me.

Horne's defence has been getting worse recently as he has lost pace. Offensively so-so. Never a centre and directly culpable for the MPG 78th minute capitulation on. On the other hand, I was more impressed with Clarkson in defence, but he brought nowt in attack last season. I saw Clarkson a few times in his Leeds days and he was a great support player, so might suit the Sheens style of play.

I was never a fan of Salter offensively. His pace is nothing special either, but the respective arrivals of Goulding and Minns in the last 2 seasons into his position reinforced just how poor he has been on offence and creativity.

Back to Larroyer. He has been plodding into contact and rarely running directly, but defensively his awareness and reads all but disappeared last season and in the end he became a bit of a liability.

Converting the west to the promised land

Re: Kevin Larroyer : Mon Nov 28, 2016 4:51 pm  
All the players knew the outcome if/when relegation happened. All of the players should of been busting a gut to do everything to avoid the drop. Some did, some didn't. Larroyer was one of the latter. And is one of the players I didn't want us to keep. The salery cap can't be wasted on half arsed players. I really don't have any sympathy for him.

Larroyer hasn't been right since he did his ankle. He hasn't put himself in a position for Rovers or any other club to want to snap him up, which tells its own story

Re: Kevin Larroyer : Mon Nov 28, 2016 6:29 pm  
I agree with most of the posts on Larroyer he definitely did not regain his form after injury, my only defence that I could offer for him is that he has been another victim of very poor coaching for he has never played his true game, for me, having watched him play for France when we first signed him he was a wide running second rower, playing on the edge of the ruck similar lines that Clint Newton used take.
But as soon as Chester got in charge what did he do with him having play more like a prop close in just taking the ball up, then Webster took over and he had about as much idea as the man in the moon,which disappointed me as I thought it was a good choice, but once again he took a team to the million pound game.
I think Laroyer may well have bloomed under Sheens but then that's another wait and see.

Tbf, I think his complaint is not that he got less than he deserved, but that he was messed about.

I sympathise with his situation, but in the club's current position, it was the right call.

Re: Kevin Larroyer : Mon Nov 28, 2016 8:47 pm  
I think his problem is that as a snail gobbler and despite his 3 years over here his English is still far from perfect. He has used the word dishonest but I would have used the word disingenuous. Nobody from the club has had the spunk to tell him during the regular last season that he was cods and wouldn't likely be retained. Expect Webster as the interim coach thought it would be the responsibility of JP and the new coach to make that call.

Along came relegation and the opportunity to realign by ridding ourselves of some contractual deadwood and Larroyer is now rightly toast, based on 2 seasons of sub par performances and contributions.

RL in the UK is not in a good place right now for a variety of reasons and this is a minor footnote in the overall recent history.
