I agree regarding the extensions signed early in the season. In hindsight it's a clear indication of how off the mark McDermott was getting.

Or GH. Signing-wise, things seem to have taken a different direction since Sinfield's return. Don't forget GH could have vetoed any/all of those extensions so definitely complicit to some degree.

Totally agree, wasn't exonerating GH. More pointing out how off kilter the club's decision making has been under the old guard.

Interesting listening to Proper Sport when it mentioned an agent offering a player to McDermott who said he wanted him. Agent said he would contact GH to discuss money and McDermott blew his lid and vetoed the signing altogether and said he wasn't interested at all.

The fact GH did all the contract talks suggests he was more than a bit complicit!

I wouldn't rule out anybody leaving, very few deserve to stay based on last year.

My point is that if people want to talk about it fine, that's what sites like these are for, but some are prone to getting overexcited and believing everything that is written is gospel.

When there is actual news the club will say so. Until then, take these write ups for what they are, guess work. Educated guesses perhaps but just guesses none the less.

Re: 2019 | Squad : Tue Oct 30, 2018 11:30 am  

If Cuthbo says it's news to him then it suggests that one's wide of the mark. The bloke does a lot of promo work for the club and coaches the women's side. Not the club's way to ditch those involved behind the scenes, more likely they'd have expanded his non-playing role if they'd wanted him removed from the first choice roster. Certainly not the cloak and dagger manoeuvring that's being inferred.

Both Cuthbertson and Parcell were dropped/fell don the pecking order for the middle 8s so it wouldn't surprise me.

That said, I'd be very disappointed if we havent approached them in the first instance to tell them. The snippet on Parcell doesnt say he hasnt been told he can leave, just that he won't be so Smith could well be correct on that. As other's have said, Smith is basically the Rhinos second press office so I'd be very surprised if he's way wide of the mark.

Anyhow, like with the other 96 names we've been linked with in the last month only time will tell. Enjoy the ride!
