Yet another player that should never been allowed to leave.

Tough loss, Ty is a really good consistent player

Ridiculous mistake to let him go, gl @ wolves and thanks for the service as a Titan.
Replying to @GCTitans @wolvesrl
FFS! @GCTitans such a disappointment! He will be missed!
Replying to @GCTitans @wolvesrl
That won't help us persuading Ash to stay.
Replying to @GCTitans @wolvesrl
@GCTitans class player.. super leagues gain
Replying to @GCTitans @Rhys_ONeill_ @wolvesrl
Said to see him go. He has been a great player for the titans
Replying to @GCTitans @wolvesrl
Thats a real head scratcher... ☹
Replying to @GCTitans @BarryToohey @wolvesrl
was a top player at the knights, unlucky to be squeezed out, it would appear history has repeated itself, good luck over there mate
Replying to @GCTitans @wolvesrl
Gee great job @GCTitans on letting him go.

| Quote ="morleys_deckchair"funny isnt it... a few weeks ago we had people complaining the club was in a mess from top to bottom..... and were using the internet rumour of a new contract for Gidley as evidence.
Now we have just signed a 26 year old HB in his prime from the NRL on a 3 year deal as the Marquee.
what a mess'" Agree.I've slated this team all season but I might be tempted get a season ticket now.Can't call the club for not showing ambition that's for sure.

| Very good to have finally got pen to paper on this one, hopefully the time taken is an indication of the players demand but also it's a decision he has thought about.
We've brought in goodwin akoula and roberts three good players and with bmm in the mix it's a start and a reason to look forward to next year I think maybe one more player (winger) and we will be done and let price assess the squad after the season and make changes.

| Well according to a lot of saints fans he's pretty rubbish and a waste of money....laughable lot they are. Let's offer to swap fages and smith for Roberts and we'll see what they really think then. Are there any odds on Barba buggering off before the start of the season? I'll be putting money on it if so.

| He looks a good signing fir you guys. Out of interest how is a player identified as a marquee player? There are a few in the SL now but I cannot recall seeing the definition of such a player, not that we could afford to sign one anyway.

With a marquee player the salary only counts £150,000 on the salary cap, with any wages over that amount exempt.
I was watching Roberts highlight videos a few months back when he was rumoured, back then I thought this is the type of player we need. Really glad we've been able to get him.

It's simply any player the club wishes to nominate. I believe they have to have a minimum salary of £175k, but other than that they don't have to fit any specific criteria.

| Brilliant signing for you guys imo. Been a fan of his since his Newcastle days. He'l play half back for you id imagine,thats his best position, but also played very well at fullback a few times this season,which gives an indication of the pace and running threat he offers. Think he'l light up super league.

There are some bitter fans on Redvee,but in fairness some see him as a good signing,they wonder if he as been intimate with a kangaroo or something for him to be coming over here

| "He's nothing special" said one on Redvee, and let's face it they know all about "special" halfbacks having got Matty Smith for another 2 (or is it 3) seasons.

| From the highlights reel it seems like he is an exciting player. He seems to have a bit of Nat Wood about him, in the confident swagger and willingness to run at the defence, but he looks like he's got more explosive speed than Wood.

| Roberts isn't a great controlling halfback, but he does create tries. He's the sort of halfback who will probably do better in SL than the NRL. In attack for the Titans he was best at fullback, which gave him the freedom to inject himself into the line. Compared to a lot of NRL signings he has massive upside.

My point is and maybe I should of been clearer is I hope he isn’t here 5 minutes then wants to go home,before he made his decision I would hope he and his wife and family had a really long talk about this, I’m actually buzzing about this signing and would be utterly P##### off if it went the way of the Hiku situation.'"
He played with Gidley at Newcastle so I would hope that they have spoken at least to Kurt about Wire, England, weather etc. Kurts attitude was always that you have to fully go for it, become native if you like. Stay in the UK for the winter, embrace our 'culture' etc. Hopefully Tyrone and his family will do the same. Admittedly you have the crap weather to deal with, but on the plus side (as well as the money) you have that degree of anonymity when you go out and the whole of Europe on your doorstep to explore when you get time off.

| I do wonder about the concerns over the weather are overblown. It's not as if the UK is in the Arctic Circle. People can go outside in summer without fear of developing skin cancer and there won't be a deadly spider hiding in their rugby boots. Plus locating to the UK gives a great base to visit Europe. I would have thought the visiting antipodeans would relish the culture of Venice or Paris and the chance to see something more than 200 years old.

No I haven't. You got me there. I'll correct it to "chance to see something that isn't a rock formation or a cave painting* more than 200 years old".
*Including petroglyphs.

Ty is originally from Ballina on the far north coast of NSW - a lot closer to Brisbane than to Newcastle.
He moved to Newcastle to join the Knights as a 16 year old and lived in an Aboriginal youth hostel. From all reports he was very homesick and nearly quit a few times, but he stuck it out, so he should be fine for you.
