According to reports he went to the rfl tribuneral to get an early release and they told him he couldnt and that he would have to stay.

If he his with us next season under duress,I bet he is on the treatment table a lot.Like you say let him go.

[iPress reports this morning state that the Leeds Rhinos want Joel Moon

If this is true and not just paper talk then I think we better get use to the idea Mr Moon won't be playing for the Reds in 2013.

Good luck to the lad it's a short career and he must do what's best for him and his family. Plus he's made it clear he does not want to be with the Salford City Reds were led to believe.

Like everything in the game it will all come out in the wash sooner or later...

ROLL ON NEXT SEASON.. WITH or WITHOUT JOEL MOON.

but he also said he was homesick,

Obviously suffering with the same problem as Hudson Smith all those years ago. For those who don't know Hudson Smith he was an Australian signing that apparently pleaded with the club to release him from his contract due to severe home sickness and then signed for the Bradford Bulls the day after he was released.

'Homesick' will always be a good lad in my eyes. He beat the living out of Matt Schultz at The Willows, bought me a couple of drinks in Sydney and comes across as a decent bloke. Although irrelevant, he has hands like Pat Jennings (I bumped into him in a civic amenity site) - bloody huge.

I have never held it against anyone wanting to leave Salford as, let's face it, we have been a circus for many years.

See all the other fans are stirring the with Joel on Twitter adding fuel to fire, seems to be listening too.

Adolf Hitler is thought to have been a much more affable boss than Winston Churchill too.

Typical scouser Saints fans trying to nick one of ours when Salford are down and people are kicking, HMRC only spotted the tax owed after the winding up order was issued.

Bigpev, please don't be so naive. HMRC don't spot tax that is owed, it is told to them by the taxpayer either via monthly PAYE returns or the annual corporation tax return in the case of companies ( Self Assessment returns for individuals) in the abscence they will then raise estimated liabilities.

Sky Text quotes Phil Veivers as saying that Joel Moon is definitely with us next season.

He also says that he is waiting for the paperwork for five new signings he has lined up.

At last, some encouraging news.

In the MEN it was reported Vievers has spoken to Scott Prince. Is he having a laugh at this clubs face? Prince has been outstanding in the NRL for a long time and having the choice between staying at Gold Coast or Hull, embarrassing to report we showing serious intentions.

Don't see how its 'embarrassing' if we did talk to a player of his stature...

Scott Prince.
32 year old looking for a last big pay cheque
His best days were at Wests when they won the GF but now he is no were near the player he was.
May well shine over here, but do you think he is worth the risk ?
Will be interesting to see how DH and him fit together.
Looks like Hull are trying to buy their way to the GF aka Warrington and we all know how that went

Says in the MEN that Joel turned down an offer from Leeds and so stays with us for next year.

Be interesting to see what the doom sayers say to that...
