Big, Big loss

Need to find top quality to replace him from somewhere, I hope Leneghan has his magic wand handy.

not unexpected unfortunately.

Damn. Not unexpected, but a huge loss for us.

Going to be absolutely crucial we get the off season signings right now.

Crap they could have told us on Monday and not put a dampener on today.

Well that leaves us in a hole for next year, its will be virtually impossible to replace both in the same year with similar quality

At least he's going back to Aus. Couldn't stand it if he went to Saints or Leeds.

Fair enough, I'd rather be in Aus too tbh. We know where we stand and need to find a replacement of top quality.

Help lead us to the silverware Finchy, this season could be one to remember.

FECK.

Sad news as he's an important cog in our team.

But hey ho life goes on just like it did when other great HB's like Edwards, Paul, Lam and Trent all left our squad.

There still has been no definitive sounds being made on who will replace him which is a worry.

Finch, Tommy, Lima and Carmont.

That's a lot of cap space to make us competitive in the market.

Massive loss. The rest of SL must be rubbing their hands with glee though. He's a big part of why we're destroying teams.

Very very disappointing, but in IL I trust 100%, he won't let us down

Sad to see but expected. I just hope the club realise the massive hole left in the squad by the departures of Finch and Leuluai.

I suspect they do.

Good luck in the future Brett.

Seriously gutted

Even though I expected as much it is still awful news to see it confirmed. That Twitter photo now leaves an awful bad taste now.

Gutted, but not unexpected.

Anyway will try not to dwell on next season when there is plenty to look forward to in this one!

Very disappointed, but yeah, not too surprised.

Gutted, but not surprised. At least he's not going to another SL team. Doesn't sound like he's just chasing the cash about either which I think he would have been accused of if he'd have ended up at either Saints or Hull. He genuinely wants to go back to Oz and there's nothing the club could do about it. Hopefully the wheels are already in motion for finding a replacement of the same quality.

so two new half backs next year and a lot of salary cap space to play with!

Carmont
Finch
Leuluai
Roberts
possibly Fielden

But i trust in IL and SW and feel we will have plans in place.

Gutted, hopefully he can go out on a high. Good Luck Finchy!!!

I like how we offered him the contract he wanted, but chose wisely in terms of his private life. I'm fully expecting him to return to Oz now. He's been a great signing for the club, but we still have half a season left yet! Thank you, Brett!
We need something good to replace both our half-backs in the off season!

Sphericals !

Is there anyone realistically of the same quality that we can get though?

Will we be looking to use our quota? As we have a few spots freeing up now...

I reckon we will go for Chase, but will refuse to pay silly money.
