| Quote: The Dentist Wilf "Well it wouldn't surprise me if he left but he's been a great ambassador, a great marketing tool and certainly still has iconic status with some. He's been worth his money from a marketing point of view without a doubt. However for me if you step back and assess his performances, as our marquee signing and thus worth a few grand more than Ellis, Taylor Houghton or Minni has he been value for that status? If he leaves to play with his brother so be it and good luck to him he'll forever be part of the fairy tale that was last season when he proved to be a great bloke, but even great blokes have issues.'"
agree he has been a success as an overall signing including marketing shirt sales, but performance wise I would put his value about the same as Bowden who is on 100k less so from a value in the cap point of view and bringing in the necessary players to move us forward next year to move him on early and free that money up and a quata spot to bring in a quality 6 for me would be a great move. I like Frank he is a great character and maybe this year he will be totally different some players need a year in England before they hit there top form so I would not be disappointed if he stays but I think we desperately need an off half to compliment Sneyd , I was kinda hoping that would be Brough so no one had to go

| Maybe we're also going to be saving on a backloaded contract?

| If Pritchards going (and he i hope hes not) then i hope he takes Tuimavave back with him. Not fit for first team in any position and the team would look a whole lot better without him in it

Bit unfair he's played out of position a fair bit for our club, we will see the better out of him if he gets regular game time at centre.

Not unfair mate, His NRL stats are none existent as quite frankly he was a bit part player. We signed him post last season when we was to be quite honest fighting around for scraps but then things changed. Abdull deserves to play before him as hes a better player and now weve got Conner who can play there too who is also better then an abundance of centres who are also better meaning Tuimavave isnt needed.

You don't just bin someone off because we've got better. It's upto them to push eachother, healthy competition, look at fetuli now he couldn't get a gig either.

Can't have it both ways, he's a stand off, he's stated he is, a few on here in fact have said it's his position.

| Frank was great for the Club in many ways but on the pitch he did not warrant his salary.I would have liked to see him stay and show what he can do.You hear he was played out of position blaming Radford ,do we really think that radford would not want him to do what he did best? What frank did best was reading the play and popping up at the right time ,for me he seemed to be off the pace and that hindered him.His effort was never in question and like i said i think he could after another pre season come good.

| I hope the Club have done this with Franks cooperation. Reports are saying he was told over the phone . Not good PR by the Club bearing in mind how Frank conducted himself and how tight the team seem as a group.

| Shame if he goes.
Can't fault his effort and the spirit he's brought to the club. The problem if you can call it that, was the role he was being asked to play. Despite stats showing he put his hand up and performed what was asked of him to a high standand.
The NRL Frank we've all seen rampaging down the channels wasn't the one we got to see unfortunately (or the one Radford wanted him to be), which meant a lot of fans got on his back. The other side of that is, was he still capable physically of doing what he used to anyway?
The issue is, do we need a player coming off the bench in spells to effectively cart it up the middle (albeit carting it up pretty well), on a marquee player salary? Probably not if being totally honest.
If he leaves it'll be with his head held high and his name written into our history as one of the players who brought the cup home from Wembley.

Which reports? Is he back in Oz? I'd be surprised if we've instigated any move for pritchard and it seems unlikely we've rung him and told him to find another club

He never looked fully fit to me.

People need to give their heads a wobble if they believe any of the guff written on that site.

So some 21 year old kid, he knows as much as me.
Nobody knows what has gone on, if it's the club decision then Frank could be due a huge payout from the club.
I hope we have been fair with Frank as we don't want the clubs reputation tarnished and we don't want players like Fonua and Manu upset with the club, also Frank deserves to be treated fairly after his effort this year on and off the field.
