Hoy and Brown gone with immediate effect

Brown's left to spend more time with his air fryer.

The Nu Brown one is the one that feels odd to me, seemed to be a likeable lad, he's been decent when playing 9, maybe rumours that he didn't like the setup are true, either way that's 2 quota spots available straight away, unsure what sort of salary they free up, I imagine Brown's was larger than Hoys? A new 7 and a 2nd row would do nicely with Walker going to FB and Balmforth and Houghton at 9

Its not odd if yoy read the reason he left.

Not seen reason he's left? Is there details anywhere?

Hodgson, Balmforth and Houghton to share the hooking duties until the end of the year will do me. Hodgson's highlights in the Reserves game last week make him look like the next Daryl Clark!

I was told he had a meeting stating his wish to leave, a bit similar to Ellis, was sold the dream about the facilities etc but instead they are working out of a classroom at the university.

Doubt it. He's played at Fev. More likely just not enjoying it and obviously tough with his missus 12,000 miles away.

Nothing some baking and XHamster can't sort out

I can’t quote tweet off my phone at the minute. Comeonyouull- just what what I was told by someone who’d know. Think it’s just an excuse to leave to be honest was never gonna be here for more than a year anyway.

I'd doubt the club would be saying he was going home for a family lllmess if it wasn't true.

I guess not - maybe he requested an 'exit interview' and he gave some home truths
