Gutted he's going. Could have been pur best import for a long time.
Think the NRL clause is a real problem area. Include it in the contract and we run the risk of this happening and the player leaving after only 1 year. Don't include it and we might struggle to get players to even sign in the first place.
Disappointed he won't honor his contra t and stay for next year but can also understand the reasons why.
Personally I think he's too good for SL but maybe not quite good enough to be an NRL regular and will be in and out of the team. But I wish him all the best and hope he does rip it up over there.
