Think its a big blow personally - I'm sure the club wouldn't have wanted to lose both Byrne and Hill. Particularly given Havard's history of hamstring injuries. This was always going to happen at some point tho - I remember posting last year that something will have to give when the academy is producing so many good players that need and deserve game time. The salary cap also starts to bite harder when clubs achieve success. 

Sutton has just been released by Canterbury................


Not that I think we should sign him!




Shame Harvie is heading off especially as it looked like he would lots of game time with Liam leaving.  Hull have picked up a good player.  Imagine he's been offered a pretty big contract.


Nice to see Hull looking like they are heading in the right direction, much better for the competition. 
  

Sutton’s suffered with injuries ain’t he. Imagine on the money he wants it ain’t particularly worth the risk

You wouldn't have thought it could be justified given his injury record but then Luke Thompson had a comparable record at Canterbury.

Even without the injuries, it would be a no from me. He's a decent player but I think we've moved past that group of players (Sutton, Gildart, Burgess etc) who seemed to see Wigan as a stepping stone. We've had better players in recent seasons, who haven't seemed to share that view and playing for this club isn't a privilege you should get again, after giving it up so easily in the first place. Maybe you'd make an exception for the very best but not for reasonable players like Sutton. 

Yes Sutton's no Luke Thompson that's for sure.
