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.

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

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.
