Been down and agreed terms apparently.

This problem is only going to get worse more and more top level players will be on their way given the money on offer and the international competitions.

English RU clubs are now having to look more and more at RL given the number of players leaving England for the bigger money available in France.

Not good!!!

im sure saints will bring in an aussie to replace him

Saw this on beeb website. Not good news, especially if they tap up more.
He supposed to have 12 months left on his contract, and I always find it strange in RL how clubs can sign them for later. This does not happen in football for example.
Also didn't RFL used to put money aside to help keep certain players in the sport? Maybe they can't afford this nowadays.... Is the salary cap at fault here I wonder?

Ellis could of been saints backup cover if there was a few injurys in the half back area oh well we have him now

Think the fact Ellis left was because he was behind Eastmond in the pecking order ,hope it isn't true Eastmond is good to watch and very young to boot tut

He's reminds me of Robinson abit in the way it's such a shame we lose another excellent player to the dark side

Thats, Long, Smith, Eastmond and Ellis gone now as HB are concerned.

Maybe a tweak of their current song might be needed possibly "Oh when the saints came falling down"

That wasnt why he got the elbow.

Didn't say he got the elbow ,thought he wanted to play 1st team rugby and knew he wouldn't get it with Eastmond

rumours round st helens is he likes doing things your not allowed to do.
i think thats what he's alluding to.

Oh well, a loss to our game for sure but there's no guarantee he'll succeed in the other code. As he's not been in the Saints team that long and barely playeda full season it strikes me as a big gamble on his part. At the end of the day if money is all that bothers him then so be it, I couldn't play Union if you paid me billions, don't understand the rules one bit lol.

if i earned 50 grand a year and someone offered me 200 grand i'd be gone in a shot 'no problem'. also i think a player like eastmond could have a field day with the amount of broken play that occurs in RU.

not particularly worried about losing a 'sicknote' - saying that,good luck to him if he can make some decent dosh elsewhere

how old is he ?.
is there a more exciting player in the british game at the moment ?.
