Sat March 17, 2007 by Matthew O'Neill Super League co-leaders Hull Kingston Rovers have been dealt their first major blow since being promoted with second-rower Michael Smith being reluctantly released from the Robins. Hull Kingston Rovers Chairman Neil Hudgell commented: "Michael approached us about releasing him from his contract due to his family commitments and we have reluctantly agreed with immediate effect. He was an integral part of our promotion to Super League and a real favourite of the fans. Michael leaves with our very best wishes."Smithl said: "Due to my family commitments I have found it very difficult to remain committed to the demands of the full time environment knowing I may need to return to New Zealand at some stage this year. I have enjoyed my time here and have made some fantastic friends. I wish to thank Justin, Neil and the supporters who made me feel so welcome. For this reason I had to make one of the most difficult decisions of my life and leave the club immediately."
