Like a lot of Aussies he wants to see the world before he retires. Said this when he signed for us. London is the best base for doing that. Remember him saying he went to Wales one week already. He will probably go 'on tour' during the close season rather than return to OZ.

The guy is a quality player who will get us tries if we get him a good Centre like Lyons etc. He is wasted ATM but lets hope next season things change.

Great news...like most on here I didn't expect him to stay....in fact, I expected us to lose 80% of the squad and play with an U20's next season...glad to be proved wrong!

Next signing we need is a main sponsor....we have 10 matches or so left of the season and an off season to get a company onboard....surely even if it's a one year deal with a company....some money is better than none!!!!!!!!!

Bit harsh, Taff. Bit hard for anyone to shine in our current state of affairs.

Phil Clarke said the other week that the Opta stats show him to be the top "exile" in his position in SL.

Anyway, I'm hopeful of improved performances allround next year as plenty of overseas players seem to struggle the first year in the UK.

Great news to have signed Scott & Michael for another 2 years.
If this pair can see a future in staying at the club, then there must be light at the end of the tunnel.
After all the depressing news & results, it makes a change to have something to celebrate.

this licence is for 20-12, 2013 & 2014......these players are now contracted up to the GF in 2014.
July 2014 is when we'll find out about the next 3 years....

This is what worries me. We have wings aplenty but no player has held down a centre spot this year. Robertson is a good player but an absolute luxury with four other wingers already signed for 2013. And pretty much a pointless re-signing if we continue with rotating Howell, JOC, Channing, Lovell, Sarginson at centre in the hope that one day it will work out. We badly need a quality right centre and I fear that Robertson's re-signing shuts out the possibility of an NRL centre coming over.

And Wheeldon signing up for 2013 is underwhelming.

Have you been taking 'Lister' pills?!?!

Signing the same coach

And then buying a season ticket to watch the same thing happen again all next season!

...I wonder how many 'NUTTERS" will bother in 2013?

I think Robertson is a solid player but as you say, without seriously remedying the situation across the rest of the three quarters, he's left completely short-handed. We can only assume Phil Bailey has a handle on this, because we all know by now Powell bloody doesn't.

Interesting question for a poll. I've had a season ticket since SL 2. Not sure I would bother if Powell is still coach for 2013.

I am that "nutter". 2013 could be a lonely season (still, I'll have the best seats in the house).
