Maybe reading between the lines here but Whitehaven coach jonty gorley has stated in an interview on havens social media that Rourke has gone to "a more established championship club that's only around half an hour from his home on alot more money "..Rourke lives in Manchester so by that he's gone to either us or Swinton..and no disrespect but Swinton wouldn't be classed as an established champ club nor would he likely be getting alot more at Swinton ...only thing has me doubting is he's a full back and assuming Owens,Fleming and edge stay were stacked there ...really good player tho ...so on that he'll be off to Swinton lol
The interview is on havens Facebook page and his comments come in the last 5/10 minutes
Halifax is a similar distance from Manchester.
@sinbad ahhhhh he'll be off there then .. especially with fax history of picking off haven players ..didn't realize it was so close lol
