Hull KR weakened as three players leave

Hull KR will lose Michael Dobson and Micky Paea at the end of the season.

Tongan forward Paea will cross the city to join Hull FC on a two-year deal after rejecting a new contract with Rovers.

And captain Dobson is moving to the NRL after Newcastle Knights activated a release-clause in the Australian's contract allowing him to return home.

Rovers chief executive Neil Hudgell said: "Michael has always harboured an ambition to go back and play in the NRL again and he goes with our blessing and best wishes.

"He has been a terrific servant to Hull KR and is probably the stand-out player for this club during the Super League era.

"Michael has also been an inspirational skipper this year and possess a never-say-die attitude which has probably seen him play in some games when he could quite easily have sat it out."

Paea, meanwhile, said: "I have enjoyed my time in England and I'm settled in Hull so that made a tough decision a little easier but it has been difficult with a number of options on the table.

"I have been grateful for the opportunity at Hull KR but I felt after two years with the club I needed a fresh start and, after weighing up my options, Hull FC was the best fit for me and my wife.

"I have a lot of respect for Hull KR and their supporters and I will give my all to the club for the remainder of the year and look forward to joining up with Hull FC in the close season."

A third leading Rovers player, Cory Paterson, has asked to be released from his contract early on compassionate grounds.
