Definitely a good player.
Not without his faults he made a couple of real howlers against Salford but a good player all the same. It's just that Rovers have signed better players in his position.
He's loving it at Rovers and would loved to have stayed but he's got a career to think of and he'll leave with our best wishes.

Better fullbacks? Is that the well known full back Peter Hiku, or the permanently injured Evalds who plays on the wing just as much as full back these days
I liked him last time he played for us, he's certainly a talent (and despite the comment above ) a lot of Rovers fans I've spoken to are sorry he's leaving, he's certainly done a good job for them. He obviously realises the doubt over his durability with his honest comments about looking after his body. I just worry we are getting a bit top heavy in some positions and still light in others. Wait and see what the final outcome is I guess.

Probably that promising young full back PLT whom they beat everyone to sign about 3 years ago and has been mentored by Coote ever since

Agree with you, think it’s a smart move by the club as it gives us competition as well as cover at FB. He’s still young at 24 though seems to have been around for years. Hopefully his previous injury issues have been more due to his young age and his body will now be a little more robust as he’s developed with age.
He has always looked a natural FB since breaking through as a teenager in Leeds first team.
I really enjoy long walks especially when they are taken by people I don't like!
From TS comments on his signing he seems to have the right attitude towards performance and club culture as well as being durable mentally after battling through a lot of injury and adversity. Hope he gets a bit of luck along the way.
