Quote: Mild mannered Janitor "Could be argued that the intense scrutiny / criticism of the fans (specifically on this board) is more likely to influence a prospective players decision to uproot and move to Hull.
Frank openly said he could have got a deal in the NRL for 2016, but being a man of his word he wanted to honour this contract. He also said he wanted to leave Hull having won something. For me he achieved on both counts.
That another NRL club was willing to offer him a deal subject to a release could have been part of the deal to come to Hull in the first place. I doubt we will even find out.
Frank was under unrealistic expectations. He did put in shifts, made good yards, galvanised the team and the club. Job done. Move on.'"
Your second paragraph doesnt make sense.
If he intended to leave then why did the family have to return to vacate their rental property,as i would have thought vacating first would save them time and money having to unnecessarily return from Australia.
Everyone involved here Club/Frank seem to be tight lipped but when you read between the lines with Kelly becoming available it seems to me the club pursued an agreement with Frank to leave if he could find a club back in Australia.
Whether that has left Frank with a sour taste in his mouth about the club we dont know but for me like you said he always put in a shift even when out of position playing as a prop.
