Quote: St. Rughead "Interesting, looks like it could happen then. I wonder if it's Hohaia or Laffranchi going then...'"
Hohaia must be going either way.
We've loaned O'Brien to stop him playing 6, we've loaned Howarth to stop him playing 9 and he's (by my reckoning) 5th choice full back.
Plenty of money sloshing about in the NRL, where he'll still have a decent rep. Why would he stay?
He's not quite old enough for this to be his last contract, so to just put his feet up would crucify his career?
