Rumoured that off back to NRL and looks like Newcastle Knights the destination. For god's sake don't let them see a tape of the Catalans game.

The Newcastle physios must have request a bigger workload.

It's shame to some degree, he's a great athlete, with a great build for RL, and bags of talent. Unfortunately, I don't think he's tough enough to ever be more than a squad player whatever league he's in.

It should free up some cap space, though. I wonder if he goes if we'll sign someone, or give someone like Minchella a chance.

Geez, Newcastle Knights must really be going through some hard times right now



In all seriousness though, good for him if he has got himself a gig back home, i wouldn't have held too much hope for him after a pretty non descript 3 years here.In fairness his time with us has been blighted by injuries and he has never had a long run, but thats how it goes sometimes. I never really rated him personally, although i know some on here feel had he got a run of games he could have become a good player, but never happened. Hope this comes off, best thing for both partys imo.

Good news, would free up plenty of cap space to make better signings. (GREAT player though, for any Newcastle officials reading this).

The Newcastle link would make sense because the hooker now on our radar is Adam Clydesdale. It's apparently between us and Melbourne (where he'd be understudying Smith) but would be a good signing.

Cant disagree - Looks good but unable tom stay fit - Maybe the southern hemisphere weather will help to prevent injuries???

Hope this is true. Too many injuries , not enough good performances and far too many poor shows.

Are you sure it's not Newcastle Thunder?

I know! Had to look twice at the article on Love Rugby League and check my calendar to confirm it wasn't April.
Offered so much but gave so little. If Clarkson on his way and JJB out for months then 3 back rowers light. Can Bawldwinson fit the bill for one spot?

Worse than that! Aussie version of feckless Bailey.

Shame he didn't make it as he had great potential but if it means it will allow quality hooker and halfback signings then bring it on.
