But possible if he can get a similar wages as to what he's on here, and back to the Southern Hemisphere, there can't be much worse things for a sportsman than not playing and being thousands of miles from friends and relatives!

good luck to the lad

Good luck to IJ, clearly it's not happened for him here for numerous reasons.
A return home seems to be the best end result for both parties.

Best thing for him. Back home and getting some game time, he was never going to develop here.

Best of luck to the lad.

Good luck to the bloke & I'm gutted it didn't work out for him and us.

So, are we spending the money on another player or paying off some debts? my concern is that if sykes or smith get injured we have kyle wood, who is upto the job, but is currently operating out of 9 with aiton and whichever way we look at it, we'd be left with bobby goulding jnr or matty wildie to step into the halves or hooking role and both, in my opinion, arent upto superleague standard.

Good luck to him. He will be better developing himself with more game time.

Heard that Salford have signed a half from Aussie Liam Foran. Isaac and Liam were at the same club (Warriors) and they let Liam go - wasn't there for long, so not sure if Liam will be an asset for Salford or not. But think Liam would of had a lot more game time for himself over the last two years than Isaac. Liam and his brother both played for Manly. His brother is great. All the best for Isaac i am sure he will be wrapped to be able to get more game time. A win-win situation for Wakey and Isaac.

Dissapointed it didnt work out for him/us. Does it leave us short in the halves?
Without Smith i wouldnt really fancy Wood, Wildie or Sykes to lead us round the park. Having said that i dont suppose much has changed as you could have stuck IJ on that list also.

If the rumors of Mellars to Salford came true, you would have thought we must have somebody lined up, surely? From what i can gather, the money VM is on, we could bid for pretty much anyone! (pure gossip/speculation i must point out)

Nice to see IJ's comments about the situation - to summarise, he says that he and the club have reached a mutual agreement and that WTW have acted very professionally throughout.

Makes a nice change!

Good luck to the lad - he became surplus to requirements through no fault of his own and I hope it all works out for him.

Good Luck Issac

Nice bloke who tried his best whilst here

Wood is fine and has a lot more game time with the team than Isaac, he is also a natural 7 not 9 IMO.

Wildie is a 9 for me, hard worker but not the craft for a H/B.

Agree with regards Wildie. Not so sure on Wood. Think he would be fine at scrum half in the Championship but not convinced at Super League level, but thats my own personal opinion.

As it stands if we did go a half back down, depending on the opposition, i wouldnt be surprised to see Agar using Washbrook there as he did on a few occasions at Hull. Anyway, fingers crossed we dont lose any!

Has Lee Smith ever played in the halves? I have a vague memeory of seeing him play there for Leeds some years ago?

We do have Bobby Goulding

used to be a fullback but i dont recall him being a half back.
having said that i don't really think Sykes is a half either.

I think Smith could do it but not a long term answer.
mathers did turn out there for Leeds in the early days and you can tell he still plays that style when he's in the line so I'd probably play Smith at Fullback and Mathers at 6 if it came to it.

But obviously that is a temporary fix. I'd rather have mildly experienced half back.

no no no no no...well not yet anyway. Nother year on that project imho

Best of luck Isaac.

Meant to add best of luck Issac

Just out of interest, how long is Bobbie's contract? Briefly looked on line but couldnt see anything?

Good luck Issac!

One year deal if I remember correctly.

Good luck Zak, shame it did not work out for you.

good luck to him it did not work out and we have made the right decision to let one more in a long list of overseas stars go who was no better than the young brits we have in SL and in some cases the Championship

Seemed a good fella who has some talent but bar the odd cut out pass it didn't really happen for him over here. Hope he goes well back in australia. Frees up some cap space should we need it.
