Could also be marked down as fullback with Scot Grix retiring which is his preferred position.

The timing would suggest that LW incoming was known as was SG’s retirement before CM outgoing.

If conor was to play week in week out to the standard he did on sunday then it is a shame he is calling it a day. But he as to do what is best for him and the club if he cant commit to our schedule training wise. Scott grix is also calling it a day at the end of the season. I don't doubt about is influence off the pitch with is professional approach. And he as got as much out of himself playing wise as he could of hoped for over a long career. But for me the club made a mistake in signing him on a permanent deal after seeing how he played when on loan to us they should of left it there.

Yes the nature of the Simon grixs’ comments suggests he’s known about McGrath leaving for a while and more than likely his brother’s retirement so walmsley covers both positions and allows flexibility with Woodburn hall . I’m intrigued to know what the plan is with the halves given the jouffret rumours are still high https://twitter.com/thegamecaller/statu ... 52332?s=21

I know Harris is on a one year contract and suspect he maybe leaving but I’m sure Robinson signed for 2 and he’s a regular on the talking the fax of life podcast and seems happy at fax , but with Keyes and jouffret in the picture it makes the halfback area more competitive it’s just a case of keeping them all happy .

Im not going to lie I am leaning towards this too. Mcgrath has done well for us as a squad player but despite him been here a while now and us playing a lot of different wingers in that time he has always been 3rd choice. If he ends up signing for a League 1 team then Im sure he will do well and get a decent amount of tries. To be fair its a while since we had a winger with real start quality, Salty is good and solid but he's not going to get the crowd on their feet that often. A very good championship player but again not top 2 star quality like we will be getting with Walmsley.

As for Grix he has had a fantastic career and you do not get to play that many games by chance so he has done really well there. Unfortunatley for us it has been clear the last couple of seasons he has been looking after himself during games which was especially noticable when he were at fullback and you go away from a back 3 to make the hard yards to a back 2. I think he is doing the right thing and I do wish him the best whatever he does from here but I think we will be a better team for it next season with a completley different half back set up.

McGrath had a real opportunity on Sunday from a rare break towards the North stand but failed to back himself and was stopped easily coming inside.As GFB says no quality or real pace and we need better.Zak has shown the level of improvement needed during the course of a season not five...

Yeah I really like McComb, I think he has done a great job for us this season wherever he has played. Tough, quick, and elusive is exactly what you want in a winger.

Not seen much of Tibbs but maybe he can become the rookie winger who comes good 2022..
See Walmsley is a goalkicker of note too-this would be some coup..
just need a few forwards like his namesake now....!

And now rawsthorne is calling it a day at the end of the season. What i find odd is simon saying in is interview that this decision as come out of the blue as with the mcgrath one. This as been common knowledge amongst the fans i talk to on match day for some time.
