Sounds like a done deal. A great shame as after a slow start last year with an injury he's been excellent for us. It's no real surprise that he's caught the attention of an NRL club and he can't be blamed for returning there.
At least we have found out early in the year and can look for a replacement.

He's more suited to SL.
I think your right on this, hes been great for us and in sl, but doesnt mean he'll be as affective in the NRL, can see him doing a season or 2 then be back over here

Great game again yesterday. Good players will do well in any league but I get the point that he is less structured than might be required in the NRL. However he's improved the power in his backfield running since joining us and that will go well there.

Perhaps so, but would you want to be a big name in a small league or an run of the mill player in a bigger league earning twice as much?
Fair play to the lad, all players want to play at the top. The NRL is that.

He was excellent at the Storm as a very young man, I fail to see how he'd struggle with a further two years development under his belt.
Will be a massive loss to us but as has been said previously, this is the risk you run when you sign younger players from the NRL. There's always the chance they will outgrow you, best of luck to him back in Aus.
