No problem with Martin leaving. Good luck to him.
We just need to replace him with a powerful back rower.
But anyone who thinks he is going for less money and / or a shorter contract is totally deluded.
A player in his 30's is looking for one thing with potentially their final contract.
Financial security.
That is usually with length of contract.
And I simply don't believe any player with an offer on the table would move teams for less money.
No-one on here will know with any certainty, but I suspect Leeds offered him one year on similar money.
He wants 2 years and Rovers offered him it.
Sounds like it was decided weeks ago when Rovers were in 4th or 5th, so I doubt anyone was getting too excited about them winning anything at that point.
So, him moving there for trophies is nonsense.

Length of contract being the primary factor is my take too. Everything else is just noise.
