| Legend! this guy has given us fans so many memories of smashing the fook out of people, does anyone remember him putting Neil Baynes from Whitehaven on his arris whilst going 5 yards back, this kid was about 22 stone at the time.

| Well if it wasn't for one thing or another, I'm sure he'd still be here.
Miles better than Mills, he's going to be missed.
Legend.

| I love the way Aizue plays the game and the impact he can make. Massive enthusiasm, puts in big hits and makes more line breaks than our other props. He has improved immeasurably since the NL days, in his first season he was a lot less lean than he is now and his catching skills were poor. Thanks Macca and good luck

| Sorry to see him go I still think he is better than at least one who is still at the club. It is also a cheap shot by the club as he would be entitled to a testemonial next year (he will now miss a chance to earn a tax free lump to help his retirement), it is not the way we should treat loyal sevants of this club.

He joined in May 2003 (Hudge paid for his air fare out of his own pocket), how does that equate to a testimonial year in 2010?
Our longest serving player, the only one left from the "Linnane revolution". My favourite Rovers player, I am seriously gonna miss the big fella if this is confirmed.

| not sure if the contract situation and apparent personality clash would have been an issue if mac was not a png player but an aussie/english,think some of the island nations get lesser treatment not just at KR but all over Moa is getting a supposed rough deal at FC,think clubs expect more for less and dont give enough respect to these guys......shame generally great part of most teams

My mistake I thought he was here in 2000, but still I think he should make the squad every match (if fit). Who paid his air fare is irrelevent as I dont think Mick Vella & the rest of our overseas players pay for thier trips home. I would just like to see him go out in style with the fans giving him a fitting send off he deserves.

If he goes it's a disgrace ! Better than Mills who's a waste of space and the bst impact forward off the bench we have .
Is that a way to treat your longest serving player .
Taxi for Morgan.

and whose to say mills will be here next season, haven't we released players before with a year left on their contracts, jim gannon springs to mind. I don't have any insider knowledge by the way only speculating.
One thing about morgan he has never shown any sentiment in moving players on and improving the squad, maybe that's one of the main reason's we're sat in 3rd place 3 years into superleague, whilst our neighbours are languishing near the bottom needing a big clear out of long established "problem" players.
For me, it's time to thank macca for his great service to our club and wish him well in his future career and if our paths cross again in the future I would expect him to get a big cheer from the east stand. the club has to move forward though.

Do you not think that Hull KR have a duty of care to Macca , they should stand by him in his time of need . The same could be said of other players indiscretions who are still at the club.
Macca would run through a brick wall for Rovers , you know that and so does everyone in the East stand so face upto the fact if he goes it will be a disgrace.

So have a clear out then and get rid of the dead wood and underperforming players , Fitzhenry gone (good) , Fisher plays when he feels like it , I'lanson , Mills , Galea been very poor for the last 5 or 6 games. Replace with State of Origin or International players to move forward. We need a barnstorming prop who can bump off players not another second row who we can convert into a prop.

| I don't know the full details of Makali's personal problems, and if I did I wouldn't be putting them out for public consumption, just as the club aren't. For that reason I can't describe this as a disgrace. If you know all the ins and outs then fair enough.

Hardly. His contract was up anyway and there's no room for sentiment at the top level. In any case, you don't know he's in a 'time of need'. A few months ago he was the one reportedly wanting a move for more money.
The club might be letting him go early so he can move to another club - theres all sorts of possibilities so no point speculating either way unless all the facts are known.

If there's no room for sentiment read my earlier post ! Best impact prop off the bench , better prop than Wheeldon and Mills .

can't say sitting where we are in the table too much is wrong so as we need a big clear out, some players will go more youngsters will be signed on to accomodate the quotas, from where I sit fitzy and macca were obviously going to go at the end of the season to bring younger (probably cheaper players in, in the case of fitzy ). Don't forget the constraints of the salary cap when your talking about bringing in SOO or internationals in.
I'm sure they regret giving Millsy a 2 year contract now but I wouldn't be surprised to see him go if we can persuade someone to take him. I personally think Galea has been fine for us despite not hitting the man of steel form like at the start of the season, but I would expect him to go also when his contract expires and a younger player takes his place.
Squad improvement is about gradual improvement now we have reached a certain level to build a succesful team not for just next year by signing retiring aussie test players. I understand your upset by macca leaving and I think its a shame also but that's progress.

unfortunately not too many times this season he hasn't been, if he'd played like he did in Townsville against England every week he'd have got another contract months ago, unfortunately for 1 reason or another he hasn't, you only have to look at rhys lovegrove to see the value of playing at the top of your game when your contract is running out.

You are correct Lovegrove to me when suggested he would play at prop I would of said he was not big enough ! I still maintain that but he has been playing out of his skin. I feel that Morgan has only given Macca a bit part to play , he brings him on for 10 mins then immediately takes him off. Macca was in the form of his life in the World Cup and that form should of reaped the benefits for HKR , it didn't so where did it all go wrong ? If he dropped the ball once he would be taken off.
Meanwhile we have Mills still on contract .

| From what I've heard Makali wasn't even performing in the reserves. I liked the guy too and he has been a good player for us, but at the end of the day the club has to come first.

if its the same as what i have heard banded about, then it would explain quite a few things in regards makali, i for one hope that it is not true, but this is unfortunately the joys of rumours and speculation.
just would like to wish him all the best for his future, you are and have and always will be a legend to the kr fans, good luck makali
