Never forget him running over briscoe at the kc or the try at headingley last year. He's been a great signing and if our whole squad had his attitude it wouldn't bead Monday for them next week

[quote="SirStan"]Nobody mentioned homesickness now did they? His partner has extended family in London, this will be a major factor in his decision. Ask Oyster bay for further clarification.

Rovers wanted shut, that's the unpalatable truth in all this.[/quote]

He was informed his services were not required at Rovers.

That's a real shame and an undignified way to treat such a loyal servant. Lets be honest here, Rhys was no worldbeater, but he's a good honest pro who always gave everything when he played. That's all fans ask for.

Rovers have let themselves (and more importantly the fans) down on this one.

It's the location of the gig that was important for him.

I've considered it, annoying cock!

Nobody can question the commitment and loyalty that Rhys has shown to the club. At times he has been treated unfairly by the club. Was told last season he wasn't wanted, but he carried on determined to fight for a place and stay at Rovers. You cannot blame him for deciding to leave for the good of his family! His partner has family and friends in London and by him going there it's a win win for both of them. No doubt Rhys will get a starting place in the Broncos team and a new challenge playing for a team determined to return into Super League. He will be missed both on and off the field, I'm gutted he's going, but I actually can see that it is for the best of the family and I wish them all the best in their next chapter.
