Has anyone else heard the same rumour i have that steve has parted company with the club and returned to austrailia for good.

Also checked and his twitter page has a "internal server error" which usually means its been taken off line.

Putting 2 and 2 together i'd say looking at that the rumour is true or he has taken it offline due to the abuse he was receiving??

The club should put out an announcement and let us know what is going on regarding steve, if he has gone then maybe the fans should know rather than hearing rumours for weeks before an announcement is made!

Never quite understand this we have a right to know thing. WTRLFC is firstly a business and Southern an employee - thus there may be any number of legal and other reasons why the club can't or won't release info when and how you want it. It was ever thus. The club certainly isn't obliged to answer every rumour that circulates, there lays disaster, It will come out in due course - either way it has little effect on the current team so I wouldn't worry.

Whole heartedly agree.

I forgot he played for us so i couldnt care less if he's gone or not

i just don't get the anti-Southern vibe on here.
The mentality of some "fans" is truly baffling.

This - very well said.

Why dont you get it? We're paying a player a decent amount of money who doesnt play. Im not particulary anti Southern but i wouldnt be too bothered if he left either. When he played you could see he had quality but we've not missed him when he's not been here. Hopefully he'll get his head right for next season and he'll be like a new signing, if not we get rid

Might be worth keeping with Kirmo on his way

Southern career for us = just hasn't happened for him. I think hes tried everytime hes been on the pitch.
Out of position all year and its not his fault our 2nd row has been magnificent MAriano, Kirmond, Ali etc. Just not happened for him he doesn't deserve the abuse. Don't understand it.

Let me guess - he's going to Hull FC along with every other player in the league.

Where did that one come from??

While I agree that it is a business, the 'employees' are far more than just that, they are the assets too so I would expect to hear an official announcement if something happened such as the former Captain leaving the club, it would be better than reading rumours on here.

Remember, we are living in a world of social media and are encouraged to follow the lives of people we would never normally meet, it's made us nosey!

Although they are employees and assets as well, we are not the owners. They are not our employees or assets so have no right to know. Of course we often do we have no right to the information.
And those employees and assets are still people.

Correct, but you can't on the one hand expect people to sign up for club and player Twitter and Facebook updates and then not ask questions when rumours are flying around and nothing is being said. Unfortunately, social media has created a certain level of expectation so it is natural to ask questions.

On his way where exactly?

He's here on a 3 year deal.
