Paea has gone to an Aussie Club with whom he has negotiated a contract in the last week or 10 days, I would not rule out Newcastle because it seems everyone I speak to seems to link Sandercock with what has happened. It's also said he is also signing for less than we offered him as he would have been our second top earner had he stayed, he has done it, it's said by the players simply because he wants the chance to prove himself in the NRL and take his family home. Despite the best efforts of some bitter Rovers fans to diss him he is a decent bloke. I would now expect Ellis to move up front and the high profile second rower from Down Under we keep hearing being alluded to being announced soon.
I wasn't dissing him, seems a pretty good bloke and in all fairness even after he'd said he was leaving us he still put in a good shift. The only down side was that he did say at the time he was leaving us he wanted to go home, the rest is history. This time he's said he was signing a new contract for you and it was just a matter of time and he's now leaving.
I have no problem with players making decisions that suit their personal circumstances be it financial, career based or family based but why bother saying anything if your minds not made up.
