I think this is panic move , it seems hkr are the only team that have come in for him and hes panicked as hes desperate to play super league , hope it goes well for him but just think hes been a bit shorted sighted here. Also regarding the loyalty side of it i do feel a bit aggrieved as it seems we've spent a year getting him fit which I'm sure cost alot of money medical and time wise to get him ok and now hes off , just wondering if the rfl pays for any of the medical bill as it was with England he got injured rather than us ?
Wouldn't the club ( or any club) have an insurance policy to cover this sort of thing when a player gets injured on international duty?
Trouble with player loyalty is that it appears to be an outmoded concept - Dixon is an SL quality player so wants to play in SL, but I do understand why you feel hacked off by his departure. Most of the big clubs wouldn't touch him until he can prove his fitness long term, KR have taken a punt and if it works out they'll have a cracking player the next few seasons and he'll be able to get himself a move to a big club and maybe full international caps ( next World Cup in mind no doubt).
I hope he does well, not all of our lads have done well after leaving London - hoping he's more LMS than Mike Worrincey!
