I’m a little disappointed that a young talent has left but like most others on here , I’m happy to go with myler and Cartwrights opinion’s on the matter . Good luck to him at cas

Disappointing as he's a decent prospect, however I'd guess he's signed elsewhere for next year and isn't fit enough to play yet, maybe for some time so the club feel he's not worth keeping around. Maupybe he has or hasn't looked after himself enough, we'll probably never know the truth but leaches another hole in an already small squad

Not surprisingly a nothing statement.

Leaves us very short in the backrow.

Can't believe we intend going with only 3 second rows!
Holmes - seems very delicate/injury prone
Carwright - didn't he have a recurring foot injury when he joined us? seems to miss a fair few games.
Lane - would have been binned years ago if it wasn't for his ridiculous contract.
Front & centre of the `can't be arsed brigade', been regular for years simply because we've had no one else of note.
His stats were usually atrocious, but predictably improving now his contract is coming to an end.
Unusually (for us) most of our top youngsters seem to be backs.The only forwards i've seen who've
looked like making the grade are Balmforth & Stavely - the others, - nowhere near first team material
Hopefully Myler will surprise us with a quality replacement for Stavely, but i'm not holding my breath

If the tag line is that Staveley was down the pecking line, then we should only be signing someone who is better and maybe more experienced than him. Still disappointing, I know there are two sides to a story, but it does sound like he wanted to stay and fight for his place (even moved to Hull), but the club didn't want him. It won't happen, but would love the club to come out and say why he was released, we have had alot of abuse directed our way from previous players, would be good to fight back a bit.

I see that Waimhouse has posted overnight on Instagram his images of him in each kit. Perhaps he's moved up the pecking order, potential back rower?
