Clearly Nene's statement a week or two ago was in an attempt to try protect himself from being sacked without a payout. If Nene has been offered as part of the deal for Croft then it works for both us and Salford. The last thing we wanted was Nene remaining on the books, not playing whilst being paid and taking a crucial quota spot away from us.

Good riddance to bad rubbish. Seems his off field attitude left a lot to be desired.

I assumed the complete opposite. Second he didn't come back I assumed we'd just let him off his contract and he'd be free to go and sign for whoever he wanted. Lo and behold…

Great on the pitch, terrible off it.

It was never going to work. Don't care who or where he plays next. Just glad he's out of our club.

Officially confirmed signed for Salford

Another 4year deal, Salford better make a vasectomy part of the deal.

What’s that supposed to mean？

He must have really ed off Smith and GH for us to release him

He was chasing a deal whilst in Australia behind the clubs back. Once that fell through, he thought he could waltz back into Headingley like nothing had happened. Gary was quite rightly waiting with Nenes P45.

His lack of commitment meant he often turned up to training late, or not at all, and apparently this caused a bit of tension in the locker room. It's probably understandable why Cameron was so blunt about him not coming back from Oz.

If you look at his playing career, there is a pattern of him moving clubs roughly every 12 months over the past decade. That probably tells it's own tale. I wouldn't be surprised if he stays at Salford until he gets a better offer and does a vanishing act again.

It's a shame as he is a great player. With the right attitude, he could be one of the best around.

Not sure why we wouldn't hold on to his registration and require a fee if he was going to join another team, particularly a Super League team.

I mean if we are looking to sign a Salford player, and he goes to Salford, then we do look like chumps if he goes for nowt and we have to pay a big fee.

Maybe it is a legality thing? Do they still have to pay wages if they hold the registration as part of the contracts?

I'm just glad he is gone and someone else's problem, to be honest. Let it be a learning curve.

In one sense if he doesn't want to play for us there is nothing we can do, but in another sense what's there to stop us saying to Brodie Croft we will give you a bigger paycheck if you walk out on Salford so we don't have to pay a fee.

Is it only a problem if you ask someone to do it, or are players just free to break contracts whenever they feel like it.

UK employment laws don't give employees unfair dismissal rights until they have 2 years of "permanent" employment. Can you just sack a player anytime, or do the games bylaws prevent it?

I'm genuinely confused here.
