the main word there 'rumour'



ive been to plenty of away games where his family have gone too as well and they certainly didnt look like they were missing home that much

Forgive me, but enjoying interaction with fans, enjoying playing for a club and generally having a good time, doesn't mean your not also home sick.

and neither does a rumour

Well it wouldn't surprise me if he left but he's been a great ambassador, a great marketing tool and certainly still has iconic status with some. He's been worth his money from a marketing point of view without a doubt. However for me if you step back and assess his performances, as our marquee signing and thus worth a few grand more than Ellis, Taylor Houghton or Minni has he been value for that status? If he leaves to play with his brother so be it and good luck to him he'll forever be part of the fairy tale that was last season when he proved to be a great bloke, but even great blokes have issues.

Without rumour this board would be boring, to be fair that only 2 or so hours a week, there could be a lot more to it, weather, school, family etc.

He can probably earn a fair wedge more back in the NRL too

If he does go I still think we would be a better balanced side without the need to shoehorn him into a role that has proven to be ineffective.

If they have the space and his family are wanting to be back home then it's pointless trying to keep hold of him especially as it's the only way we are going to have a chance to sign someone of note for whatever position that Radford feels we need to bolster.

Piece here from Australia not much new but he has a get out clause in his contract and it states that his main motivation is a Grand final ring c.newsnow.co.uk/A/856237717?-4338:2393:0

Love the bloke but he just hasn't played to his potential. Will be sad to see him go but don't think its a massive loss to the 1st 17.

Leaves us a bit short in the forwards if he goes. I reckon we will bring in another prop to replace him.

Not if we're spending the cap on a winger and a stand off

As said another thread, gives us a chance to play some reserve forwards, thibkbwe look to have good depth in the forwards

That's 15 players, plus a couple of other young players like Silk and Lane, plus Litten to play hooker, plenty of cover.



A few of those can play prop or back row of hitch gives us options.
