I've got the feeling it will come back to bite us on the bum this decision.



Hmmm...

I think we all wanted Ryan to do well at Rovers because its always good to see a local kid come through. The reality is though that he hasnt consistantly excelled in the reserves this year and although i still think he will make a Super League player, he wont be a 'top 4' Super League player.

We also have to take into account the age change in the reserves next year so i think we will see a clutch of players over the age of 20 released over the coming weeks.

Shame you can't afford to make him an offer.....with missing out on Crocker then

Shouldnt of upste the coach then

TBF I don't think many have and i find it difficult to take the standard of reserve grade rugby seriously. Ryan has clearly become frustrated at playing at that level which is understandable.



I hope he signs for Quins now and continues to enjoy his rugby as he has done over the past month or so. He can obviously play at SL level and i'm very disappointed it won't be with Rovers.

Speaking to Ryan, his biggest frustration this season in the reserves has been the quality of ball he has been receiving from our half backs. With I'anson playing very few reserve games and Hardcastle missing for a long period it is possibly a fair grievence for a backrow forward.

However, in the same period i would say that Scott Taylor and in particular Dominic Dee have come on in leaps and bounds and can now be seen as better prospects.

Seems like Eso has got a deal already offered down south, hes a great lad and got a lot of potential i think Hull FC should have kept him all them years ago TBH.



Rovers loss tho and will be a good signing for Quins

Can't disagree with any of that.

Would agree with that to a certain extent, though i don't really see Ryan as a prospect in the same sense you describe both Scott and Dom as there is an age difference of 3-4 years. Also Ryan is proven outside the comfort zone of acadamy/reserve grade rugby whereas the other two have yet to taste that level of physicality and i would say that neither are any better than Ryan was at the same stage in his development.



But is guess its all about opinions.

How old is Dee? Assumed he was in his 20s with him coming to the club after a spell at Bradford i think.

I have to confess i don't know (i assumed he was 18/19). But if he is in his 20's he needs loaning out to a NL club sharpish imo to further aid his development.
