Well I got shot down for suggesting this might happen. TBH, I'd be devastated to lose a Pritchard playing at his full potential, but we don't have that. This could be a good bit of business, it will free up a huge amount of salary cap space. Rumours are while he loves playing for Hull, his family are homesick.

Just like Kearney. Turns up, wins the cup, leaves a legend.

Oh do give it a rest

mario rugby is the biggerst poop stirrer on here, dont know why your getting your so uptight!? frank is still under contract at fc, our italian wannabe plumber titled it like he has already gone!

The original article to bring this up.

If he goes so be it, I'd be happy for him to stay but nobody is indispensable provided a good replacement for the team (not necessarily in the same position) comes in.

The fact that an NRL club reckons he is worth getting rather spoils the argument that he's no good put by our resident whingers and those red & white hard of thinking people though doesn't it?

Id be amazed if Frank leaves. Hes had a blast this year and seems to love being at the club.

Rumour is that his family are homesick.

shame as comes across as a great bloke but imo apart from a few matches didn't look the player he was, I was hoping hed stay and maybe up the level next year but looking at things hes on his way,good luck frank if you are,

the main word there 'rumour'

ive been to plenty of away games where his family have gone too as well and they certainly didnt look like they were missing home that much

Forgive me, but enjoying interaction with fans, enjoying playing for a club and generally having a good time, doesn't mean your not also home sick.

and neither does a rumour

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.
