See the mole on twitter is making noises about Poore returning to the NrL. He is usually not far wrong?

I remember SKY reporting that he would not leave us, if he does go then I hope we get a decent amount as we will have no senior prop forward.

The mole is usually pretty good with his info so it wouldn't surprise me one bit if true. I imagine he is one of our higher earning players and one we need off the books to free up some of our set cap space but it still would be blow to lose him.

If he has an offer to go back hen I wouldn't be surprised if he took it.

He will be one of if not our highest earners as well so we could get 2 good players in for his wage so it might make sense all round if we can get a decent fee.

That said I wouldn't want to see him leave.

If he stays in Aus the only benefit we would get is a reduction in the wages bill, we’ve no chance of getting a fee for him so it won’t alleviate the present predicament - well slightly.

Bad news if so. Hope not

Rumour has it that he's on a large wedge and the reason he said he'll come back is no one else would be daft enough to pay him that much.

Its a very strong rumour mind.

Totally agree.Heś the cornerstoneof the pack and I would not want to see him go.

Rumour has it that he would have been on a much more reasonably sized wedge, but for the intervention of our dearly departed CEO.

I heard a rumour that he was quite poorely paid. I have no idea of course, just made it up, but I doubt any of the rumours any of you are quoting are anymore based on fact. To some it is just another chance to slate the previous chairman.
What if he decides to call in his loans which he could do we would then probably need to sell 10,000 season tickets.
I would suggest we let it go because there is nothing we can do about the past. I remember the Pearman era now that did leave us in a mess.

No ones mentioned the previous chairman so don't get so defensive.

Yes the Pearman era did leave us in a mess, this mess we are in now is just a tiny cash flow blip


Anyway back to Poore, would be a big loss on the field but if he goes maybe we could replace him for half the money, or if you like two players for the same money, either way he gets paid too much thanks to the previous regime

After selling 6 season tickets in a week, what can we do.
I like Poore as a player but the reality is that we're skint.

Get shut for me, even if we don't get a fee for him - the wages could surely used more sensibly.

I think that other than a couple of brief glimpses we have seen nothing to suggest he is anywhere near (or ever has been) SoO quality. He started off fairly brightly and then was little more than a glorified plodder for the mid part of the season before picking up slightly towards the end, and this is before mentioning his slow PTB and awful disciplinary record. It's hard to believe we are getting value for money from him, and we should have a right to expect more from what should be a marquee signing.

Been given an easy ride by the majority of fans due to his debut punch on Bailey and his shot on Liam Farrell. I wonder how many mediocre performances he would have to put in before he came under the microscope.

I don't really like terms like this or "get rid of xxxx" when you are talking about a guy's livelihood, which in fairness is probably underpaid as it is. Makes me feel uncomfortable and its not as easy as people state just to terminate someone's employment like that.

I think what you meant to say is that if we received an offer for him we should consider it.
