Sad to see him go but Mc Dermott clearly didn`t rate him hardly picking him first time round and then suggesting he needs to go back to Oz.
Injury hit last season but was our best forward when he played.
Plenty of others in that pack needed to leave before him.
But if it is down to attitude which seems to be the case then the club are right to ship him off.
Someone posted previously that we might know his injury is bad hence why we moved him on.
I don`t think HKR will have signed him if that was the case unless they don`t do medicals in Hull.

No plaice for medicals in Hull...

No one has come up with anything credible about Mitch Garbutt's attitude. People are just trying to fit that to explain why on earth we would release him.
It's absolute madness.

Playing in only 25% of all games last year might have something to do with it....

The point being, none of us know what's gone on!

But what we do know he hardly played last year and when he did it wasn't for big stints, we do also know the club are wanting too bring in some new players and to do that we may need to lose some salary cap and an over seas quota.

This forum was full of people wanting a clearout for next year, the club are in the best position to know which of the players are the best to get rid of. I rate Garbutt I think he's a great prop - when fit, which has become increasingly rare.

You don't get rid of your most effective forward after one injury hit season. We'd have got rid of Ellery after '91/92 or Peacock after 2010 on that basis.

Maybe the club have assessed his situation and think that ne might only play 25% again next year, what if getting rid of Garbutt means we get a better player?

I can guarantee if Garbutt had stayed and hardly played next year people would have been saying we should have got rid, the club cannot win with some people on here.

Another season like last season and Ward maybe on his way out. too many Rhino forwards are spending too much time in the treatment room and are not playing due to injuries. there is just something in this club that is not right, either the training methods in terms of making tackles or their level of fitness at the start of the season, what ever it was showed we had a soft underbelly last season.

I get the feeling that was what annoyed Sinfield the most

Your comparing Garbutt to Peacock or Hanley??

Re: OUT 2019 | Mitch Garbutt - Hull KR : Tue Nov 13, 2018 2:01 pm  

So given that Mitch has now been pictured training with HKR, is anyone actually going to formally announce this? Bit embarrassing that the club haven’t said anything...
