I believe Olbison has retired.

Ah well good luck to him. At 30 he still had a few years left in him I reckon.

Depends how closely followed those guidelines were by each club.

Some will have followed them to the letter, others I have my doubts. Wasn't really possible for the RFL to monitor everyone's training was it.

Easier for the RFL to spot check M62 clubs, more onerous to check clubs which were further away. Also assumes that penalties were appropriate

I'd be surprised if Keyes even considered coming back to us, even on loan, considering the missed pension payments under Chalmers. We all know who was pulling Chalmers strings in background and would imagine for all players affected it would be a case of once bitten twice shy.

I was under the impression that the players pension were put back to where they should have been as a priority. I know that a couple of the younger guys filled out the form to have their payments returned to them and then went on holiday.

I remember it was reported as one of first things that got sorted when Chalmers left and no one was left out of pocket. But I would imagine it would leave a bad taste for those affected and influence them when given a choice of clubs.

Would you pick Keyes in front of Brough or Lilley? I wouldn't.

On current form Keyes wouldn't get a look in. DB and JL are playing very well this season.

Always seemed like a strange decision for Hull KR to sign him in the first place. Barely got a handful of games since he left. I could see him maybe going back to London next year.

kear mentioned in pre-match Levi looking at 4-6 months out so effectively gone for season. Thats a big loss as hed looked very good so far. Could really do with recruiting a replacement as leaves us light up front.
