He will leave before the end of the month

No he won't.

Only just spotted this. It is a shame because he has shown glimpses that he could be a decent HB - not nearly enough though.

I reckon Joe Mellor may be a target to replace roberts.

It does seem to be more prevalent these days. I would imagine it's easier for a foreign player to settle if they've not got a wife/partner and kids as was the case with TKL.

His mother was from Hull too wasn't she?

Seem a to me that this is happening a bit too much in recent years. Its almost like the precident has been set, and its now considered SL is just a part time gig until an NRL contract can be secured. How do we stop this happening? Is it a contractual issue? Is it possible to impose fines/financial penalties for reneging on a contract?

He signed a contract allowing him to leave after 12 months. To be honest if I was moving half way round the World i’d insist on the same option to be put in my contract.

Ladies and Gentlemen, I give you Kevin Campion
(Iirc) he's the tosspot that announced he was signing for us for the 2001 season, and THEN got cold feet, citing England's poor summer weather.
His next club. NZ Warriors.
Of course, it NEVER rains in New Zealand, eh, readers.
