According to rlTHISrl, they are signed up for 2 years yet.

If he did only have one year left on his deal, again I ask why on earth would the club let him go on loan to Souths? What would be the point of loaning him (unless there's a recall clause in there) rather than just letting him leave?

well well well didn't see this happening .......
Hopefully some people will have greater faith on "newbies" in the future

Nope. The usual suspects certainly won't.

If you stick around on this forum, you'll soon see why a lot of people took your 'inside info' with a pinch of salt.

but he doesnt only have a year left, he has two as you pointed out earlier. Two things spring to mind. firstly if he is a hit down under then we may be able to command a larger transfer fee if they want to buy him out of last year off his contract as opposed to what they would be prepared to pay now for an unproven player. Secondly we dont know the terms off the deal so its hard to say whether its good or bad from our point off view. On the face off it we potentially get a player back having benefited from playing in a better competition than our academy league, with the obvious danger that he may like it down there and not want to return. Possibly we've got to sign a 1 year extension to his current deal so he gets to go to oz for a year and sample the lifestyle and we still get two years service out of him afterwards? Like I said until we know details off the deal its hard to judge.

Well i've heard the same info as spidermanbull, yes i know i don't post but read the forum regularly.
No way will i reveal my source and i do not expect anyone else to.

I had chips with ketchup last night. But there's no way I am revealing my sauce.

I'm dissapointed to say the least, lets hope we can keep hold of Tom and he can develop into a first team player over the next 2 seasons.

Pretty hacked off about this. Another one we lose.

Can't blame him wanting off to Oz though. I would in his situation.

"O/K" Don't!

Well good luck to George. Hope he makes a success of himself down under.

Yes it's a disappointing situation that we've lost one of our best young players.

However, on the flip side, we've got a fee for a player who's not even made his 1st team début.

hopefully we have a buy back price arranged

Well he has gone! Probably truth in the Burgess from Leeds story so we can be soft enough to sell them then so they have all four!

Can't fault the lad! He's currently in Barrow, what would you rather have Barrow or Bondi?? 
