www.sportinglife.com/rugbyleague/news/ Wonder why ?

you beat me to it Frank ive deleted my post on the matter

Misconduct. He allegedly made 'hand gestures' to Saints fans at the weekend.

what, the Saints fans who sing en masse "The referee's a w @ n k e r" every time they are on telly? Surely they can't be so easily offended!!!

Not surprised , not mature enough to handle the situation , once he'd agreed to move , saints should have insisted he left straight away , cannot be good for team spirit and morale having him in the squad

They can't get rid without a reason though, not without paying up his contract. He's already turned his back on the club/sport which has made him into the player he is without giving them any real return. Would take the micky to have to pay him a lump sum aswell before he jollies off to yawnion for the money. They will hopefully be able to use his misconduct to sack him for 'unprofessional behaviour' or somesuch and be able to get rid without lining his pockets even more.

The lad is a moron.

Well if he did gesture to the Saints fans I am not surprised.

TV Boy and I went to watch their match at Salford and thought he had a good game.Despite that' all he got was abuse from the Saints fans stood next to us.

Well people pay their money and have a right to their opinion. If he wants to play union then fine but go now and not down the line. Saints team is in bad enough shape without having someone playing for them who'd head is obviously elsewhere.

He's a class player, would have thought he'd cop flak off opposing teams fans but to cop it from your own 'fans' does seem daft.

I can understand their gripe but it won't help the team any I guess.

better off for the saints, at least now they can plan ahead and not have a player who is just waiting to go to union bringing the team down, He hasn't been at his best all season so lets hope Gaskell can fill his boots and push saints up the table

Our 'fans' have been doing it for years

And what will Saints do with the money they have freed up? A certain Aussie scrum half is currently a free agent.

It would have saved a lot of grief if bath had taken over his contract. then he could have just walked away when the deal was done.
Unless STs wanted some compensation.

Difference is I criticise performances on here or mention it at the ground. I do not shout out loud abuse at our players at games (although folk stood near might overhear).

Oh when they do play well I shout it loud then.
