We would have negotiated a payment - I'd assume a similar sort of amount we would have had to subsidise him at the Bulls. Wouldn't be his whole year's wages though. Maybe half?

In fairness I think Prior wouldn't do that, he seems a decent bloke. He'll be getting a pay off anyway so will be well looked after.

My bet is he will take up some role that's not on the cap for a year or two maybe ?.

The quota spot is handy tho. How many do we have now ?

I think he'll go home, hasn't he got a young family?

We have one quota spot now, we had none before!

Wouldn’t have thought so, if that was the case the club would have said he’s taking up a non playing role.

Overall, i think he's definitely been one of the better overseas singings we've made. He always gave everything, and his mobility and ability to offload late will be missed.

He was a very good player. Time caught up with him. Not his fault we dumbly offered a 34-year old a 2 year contract. Hopefully lesson learned - we seem to be generally signing players for 2 years now, which is about right unless they are really special or expected to take a while to develop.

I don't think last seasons version of prior will be missed at all but in the first half of the season before he was very good before being flogged to death

Brilliant forward in 2020 and most of 21. Despite fading badly last year he still played 23 times and gave it his all. I'll remember him fondly.

Very good in his first two seasons but in the end age got up with him.

Same here. All the best to him. A centre surely now incoming.

This is probably best all round for club and player.
Agree with what most have said.
He was excellent for the first 18 months, then we flogged him to death at the end of 2021 season and he faded badly in 2022.
Shame how it ended cos he was class when he first came.
On reflection a very good overseas signing, but played a season too many.

Presumably a top quality OQ centre incoming now.
Lafai will do nicely.....
McDonald if not.
