I am sure we all would have liked to keep him on for next season and I would think we could have, if we would have been prepared to pay what he demanded. However it is always a balancing act in a sport with a salary cap, as to how to spend your money. Probably the club decided it was too big a chunk to pay for one player, who was brilliant at times, but not as good as I remember him being previously.
I think he thought Super League clubs would fall over themselves to sign him, I would assume this was not the case.
Anyhow, I wish him all the best. he certainly lit up our 2013 season and bought some excitement to our club, for which I thank him.
