Ill be sad to see Rhyse go but if KR are willing to throw silly money at him, which will probably be his last deal then he goes with my best wishes.

We can’t be held hostage to paying big wages.

Rhyse leaving now confirmed

Can't see us throwing "silly money" at Martin to be honest, he's not a local and by all reports it was Leeds who offered an improved contract and we've probably matched that or offered a fraction more. We're in a far better position of strength than Leeds at the moment, so I doubt we'd need to vastly improve his deal to land him as opposed to someone like a Wakefield or Hull FC who would have to throw significant "extras" at this stage.

How do you know they have thrown silly money at him? Could
Be £20k pa or less. What’s grim is he might think has
More chances of winning stuff , he certainly isn’t going for the ambience and scenery.

He might conceivably by their 3rd marquee player alongside JWH and Lewis. But it does beg the question: who, other than Croft, are ours? We need spots 2 and 3 filling with nothing less than outstanding players this time around.

£20k per year extra is still a lot of cash, i don’t know but as you say he hasn’t gone for the location.

Anyway I wish him well

I'm still waiting for Mick to take up that ref course I offered to put him on, 15 years ago.

So do i

Has he been any good?

hit and miss. but given his age you'd expect that. Big potential
