Gutted, what a player he’s been for us. Family first always but he’ll be missed.

Arguably the finest winger we have had in Super League era. Understanable if family have gone back home though. Would hope that we bring in another back as running with 5 (6 if Watkins drops back) centres/wingers for the season is dangerous.
Does open up an overseas spot which could be useful for a prop or hooker.

Cheers for the memories, top try scorer in consecutive seasons if my memory serves me right, the wing won't look the same without you on it, family first 🤘🏻

Sorry he has gone but was worried when I heard previously that his family was returning down under but he signed an extended contract. Family trumps all.
Thanks for the memories Ken and all the very best in the future.

Well that will open up some salary space and I believe 1 more space on the overseas quota
Who could we get or should we sign some youngsters instead

Ken's been phenomenal for us. Certainly one of our best and most consistent players in the SL era. I think it's a blessing in disguise for us. Ryan can play wing and provide quality FB cover in the event of an injury. Cross can also play wing and I think Nene look best on the wing for Leeds. Sio will be on a decentnpat packet too and I think we need to prioritise a hooker. I know a prop would be nice but hooker is far more important imo. Atkin is an amazing utility and impact player but not a 80 minute hooker and Bourouh, for me, just doesn't have the quality either (I don't think the club believe he does either as he'd have been given more than one year and signed up much earlier. I think he got a contract because Ackers was leaving). At prop we do still have Singleton, King, Jack O, Wright, Partington (assuming Shorrocks plays LF), Sidlow, and Gerrard. Also, Hellewell played well when put there at the back end of the year.

I thought Ken's message about his time at SRD was brilliant .......
Hope all goes well for him from now on.

Make that Joe burgess as well leaving journalists this morning saying a disciplinary issue has made his position at the club untenable and offered him to other clubs!

Russ if the latest snippet has any substance in it, or may be true and if there is a disciplinary issue between the player and the club, which may or may not result in the club taking some action against the player why should anybody give up on the club and follow other interests? I would await the final outcome of this case, that is assuming that SARL have the correct information on what may or may not have happened.
