Very disappointing ......Anyone know where he's going/gone?

Don't know anything apart from what's in the statement.  He's certainly kept all this quiet - apparently was posing for photos with Joe Vagana up at the club earlier this week.  Now he's done one.   Pretty shabby.


3rd division French rugby union isn't my strong point.    Expect he'll be at Bradford Salem in a year or two.  


Makes you wonder if that calf injury he had was the real thing.   Still, it definitely creates a chance for Mason and Bayliss and perhaps even Jamie Gill to get more 1st team rugby.    

Its definitely an opportunity for someone to step up and Mason and Baylis looked pretty solid on their last outings.... Hopefully this is the kind of incident that galvanises the team

That’s just crazy, completely out of left field. 
Well, the next props, from academy are Gill, Leake and this new kid, Bates? 


Gill has had a few chances and hasn’t really impressed. The other 2 stand out at academy level, and reserves to be fair, but is likely a year too soon

As a player, it is a blow to lose him from the squad as he has played well in RAB for the most part. 

Turns out his character is poor however, so wherever he goes will have that to look to deal with. We are strong in the pack though so I don't think it significantly weakens us. Hopefully his salary might be used to strengthen in the backline.
