I hope we can stop carping on about Martin leaving. He's a good player and very good kicker, and if we had a better set of props it would have been great if he stayed. But he's gone, and that freed up a much-needed quota spot. All the best to him at Rovers - definitely one of our best ever imports.

Agreed, in a perfect world he would've seen his career out with us at Headingley but his contract value and quota spot were badly needed to fix some glaring holes in our team so he unfortunately has been moved on.

A fantastic servant to the club and a very popular player behind the scenes by all accounts but yeah, we move on unfortunately.

Mik is set to sign a contract extension, apparently

Good, best Prop we have produced in years has decided to remain with the club. Now time to take his game up a level under a much better coach than he has been used to for most if not all of his career so far.
