The other issue it presents (other than the obvious one of losing a star player) is the lack of fullback cover. We'll go from having Field, French and Hardaker as viable options to having Field with no viable backup.
Assuming King and Wardle are replacements for Bibby and Hardaker, I wonder if/how we will use the final quota spot.
Suppose it depends if French’s wage is covering King and potentially Wardle? If not and we have his wage to spend then you would imagine we would be looking for a utility back who can cover full back and wing, unless someone like Thompson hits the market and we use it on him.
