But as a RL player he could be a HUGE star out there......'"

We'll have O'Meley, Galea and maybe Seymour leaving through in the cash we've offered Prince and we'll have enough. |

| Quote ="Diogenes"I believe the club know that he has his heart set on going to Oz and they have made their offer now for two reasons:
1. to convince us that they did everything reasonably possible to keep him. I'm sure we would all like him to stay, but not at any price,
2. to get the matter sorted one way or the other as soon as possible in order to get with recruitment for 2014 with, or without, Tom.'"
Agreed. And much as I would love him to stay, I'd be pretty delighted for him personally if he got an NRL gig. And equally fecked off if he signed for Leeds.  |

I doubt he would end up at Leeds as we have Zak Hardaker (2016), Ryan Hall (2016), Kallum Watkins (2016), Joel Moon (2015), Ben Jones Bishop (2014). Then Jimmy Keinhorst, Luke Briscoe, Josh Sunley, Jamel Chisholm, Jimmy Watson coming through the ranks and then possibly Joe Vickery signing a deal. |

TBH who could blame Tom for going and trying his hand in the NRL? Nobody.
The only thing that could see Tom stay another year or two before inevitably going to Oz would be if he is convinced we as a club can win a major trophy during that spell.
Money will not be the issue as it will be a chance for Tom to live the dream and experience a very different lifestyle and play in the best league in the world amongst the best players, no UK club can offer Tom that.

Money is almost always the issue. RL is a short term career and players know they will have to get a 'real' job once their careers are over. Not sure if any clubs offer players any kind of incentives regarding training for future professions. |

When I say money will not be an issue, he will be able to earn the same or indeed more in Oz than Hull offer & I believe its his desire to play in the NRL that will drive his decision.
Dont get me wrong I know money talks etc but if we offer a deal that is matched monetary terms by a club in Oz then for me it wont be about the money but the chance to play in the NRL. |

My office used to be at 188 Lockhard Road!!
Spent many a beer fuelled evening in The Old China Hand, The Bridge, The White Stag, Mais Ame, Joe banana' etc.
Was a big fan of Staunton St and Elgin St, Especially the Empire Bar.
Going back a few years though. |

Back out again in January. I work in China on and off and try and make Hong Kong for a couple of nights on the way home.
Sunday afternoons are just as good asFriday or Saturday nights. Discos rammed on a Sunday afternoon.
The flights are £500 cheaper to fly home on a Monday. So I can justify the stop over. |

I usually agree with comments Chris. but IMO, its about money alright, - WHY NOT.
Its why Galea signed, because no-where in the rugby league world would he have
got what we have gifted him. Im praying ive got this signing wrong!! |

IMO you got it very wrong, the guy is a wrecking ball if given good service, I think Rovers will miss him more than they admit!! IMO we will be trying to get another year out of him after that too...
quality signing even at his age |
