Only players who have a gripe with the club come out and say things that ain't 100% true, Leeds as a club do not disrespect players in public, and knowing some of the things that have happened in the past with players such as the full back now playing for Wigan the number of chances he had to put things right only shows that the reason why Garbutt has left Leeds is down to something he has done or not done. Only he knows what has happened. I was told there were players who had a poor attitude last season but I do not know if he was one of them. I think we all have an idea why Garbutt has left but maybe not right to discuss on here.

Who cares in all honesty? MG is a former player, all the best and move on.

Not really, you on the other hand...

I think Garbutt making his statement today instead of just saying happy to be at a great club etc is an indication of attitude . We missed him last season ,but hes left now and good luck to him .

Lots of different opinions on here about why he has left, but most fans are in agreement on one thing. When he was on the pitch he was our best prop and we need someone to replace that go forward.

Yeah agree. Something not right with him. I 100% trust Kevs judgement on this

Difficult to take much away from that, other than the thinly veiled dig at the period when Sinfield took over. Perhaps it is as simple as Sinfield (and Furner) not seeing a future for Garbutt in their plans, especially given that he was taking up a valuable quota spot. Despite his stature on the pitch Garbutt doesn't give the impression of being a great trainer. McDermott jokingly singles Garbutt out in the 'As Good As It Gets' film, giving the impression that Garbutt struggled for motivation in training (perhaps I misinterpreted that comment, but it struck me as a bit odd when I watched it). Perhaps the new regime are looking for a better role-model to lead the pack?

That’s how I took the piece in the film as well.

As for his comments as you say it appears to be a dig either Sinfield or Hetherington for sacking McDermott. If it’s either that or the paternity leave issue then I don’t have much sympathy with Garbutt.

I read his comments and don't think he said much at all to get upset about. He'll have his view of why he's gone and no doubt Sinfield, Furner and co have theirs. Doesn't really matter - he's gone and is an ex-player as far as I'm concerned, only of interest when we play KR.

On the full eighty last week Jack Walker was asked what it was in training with Mitch - he replied don't know he never trained always made excuse why he wasn't fit to train.



Kind of says why Leeds let him go

Leeds well rid by the sound of it. Always trusted Kev's integrity in the matter.
