For me its pretty simple, DO NOT RELEASE HIM FROM HIS CONTRACT - SIT IN RESERVE GRADE IF YOU DON'T WANT TO PLAY WITH THE BOYS.
OR if it only suits us better -
We choose a player from the club he goes to as a swap and the difference in their price goes with the player to their new club.
For Example
- If the Raiders want him that bad, then perhaps we take Elliott Whitehead or any other player that WE WANT & NEED - OR GET STUFFED
- If the Dragons want him so bad, then perhaps we take Cameron McInnes as we badly need a hooker or whowever WE WANT & NEED - OR GET STUFFED
The one club I am concerned about more than the 2 above is The RORTERS, now that they have Radley & Crichton both injured.
The Roosters will be doing everything to snare him behind the scenes and you don't normally get anything back.
Perhaps Uncle Nick will get on the phone to Lynn knowing how desperate we are for a Major Sponsor and offer one of his Brands up for our sponsorship in return. So be wary if we have a new Car Brand or Dealership come on board.
But why in the hell should this fella, who lets remember - HE STUFFED UP FIRST NOT THE CLUB, now be rewarded by going to a strong team and potentially win a comp the same year.
He should be begging us for another chance, and be busting his arse to help us avoid the wooden spoon.
SO, I will go back to my first point-
His issue for being upset with the club is just an excuse to break his contract, so I say NO - SIT IN RESERVE GRADE if you don't want to play with the boys.
