What it shows to me, and tbh I’m a bit relieved, is that Ellis/Powell know the value of a player.

There is always the risk that when you have cash on the hip that in sport you will spend it because you can, this is not wise.

We’ve thrown a marker down to clubs, agents and players that we only pay what we think a player is worth. LW had the sense to realise it a short career and this was his chance, he’ll get it back down the line I’m sure.

There’s a couple of extremely pathetically bitter Fax fans. Embarrassing.

I doubt it and I hope not tbh. Ellis is a businessman and has a budget. LW knows he’s being given a huge chance and if he takes it he’ll get and back and then some.

It's an odd situation, I heard of footballers paying their release clause before, which is similar, but it says a lot that he wanted out that much he was willing to use his own money.

It was more for the benefit of the 'bitter' Halifax fans.

Exactly vastman , I was writing same thing till yours popped up T

No doubt SaRL will run a negative slant story similar to the Kershaw doing Hermes deliveries during covid.

I can’t see why, he’s simply bought out his old contract and made himself a free agent . It’s old as the hills, I believe Jonty Parkin started it when he did it to us in the 1920s.

That said I wouldn’t put it past them.

Fair play to him.

There's 1 or 2 Fax fans disgruntled but there's also some praising him for it.

Life is short, rugby careers are shorter. He needs to do whats best for him - just as Johnstone did.

I thought Walmsley morphed into a Kershaw a few times on Saturday with runs across field instead of his usual aim for the try line.
