Totally agree.
If he can get fit and get some games under his belt this season, even if it's just for the u20's I'd be offering him some sort of deal. |

| Quote Devotion="Devotion"This would be great news if he could motivate himself and step up to the mark.
But i have got to ask the question, why are we keeping players on the books, for me i havent even heard on interview saying "Can't Wait To Get Back". Just feels like to just flogging all the money he can without any effort. I May be wrong but i think he needs to step up or step out.'"
If what you're saying is that we should sack him because he's injured, I think you'd find that would be a legal minefield.
The alternative is to sell him mid-contract, but who will pay for a prop who's been injured for so long, seemingly with no end to it in sight? They wouldn't even take him on a give-away, as they'd still have to cough up his wages.
We could try to persuade him to retire, a la Amos, but he doesn't have to do that if he doesn't want to.
I agree that it's a frustrating situation, having so good a player doing nothing but eating up wages, but I don't think we can just wriggle out of it as easily as you suggest. |

Yeah it seemed to come across as easy as that.
You would of thought he would of retired. Be great to see him back and play in his final few years.
Fustrating situation indeed  |

My mistake. Thought a player actually had to play a game before their wages counted. |

I thought you could deregister a player from your first team in the event of a long term injury so you could draft in somone else without hitting cap problems. Have a hazy memory we may have done that with Carney and didn't Hull KR court controversy with Dobson?
Of course it could all have changed, not sure I fully understand, or ever will for that matter the ins and outs of the cap! |

He said on twitter a couple of weeks ago he'd be playing again in August. I won't hold my breath though.
I do think a loan move when he gets back would be more beneficial than u20s games and aim to get him up to a good level of playing fitness so he would be an option for the play-offs.
