i may be wrong but hadn't he just made a break playing centre in 2008 final when he broke his ankle? Also, examples are limited in senior game but he was more than decent there in juniors. I'm convinced he'll be a star there, agar will play whiting though

whats to say that wont happen,reece will get plenty of game time,and as for briscoe if the rumours are true about berro thats were i see briscoe been played in the centres

Think the club were left with no option on cutting ties with Berro due to "contract implications". Dont be surprised if the reasons behind this decision affects other clubs also and i bet there are a few clubs with backsides twitching at present especially with their overseas contingent. Its a shame imo, im a fan of Berro's and i dont think he's had the luck and the right team around him to showcase his talents whilst being at the club. Doubt very much we'll see a replacement on next years cap unless its a cheap option.

what kind of implications!

Huge loss if true.

Errrr, no!

offshore non tax payments?

Glad to be corrected!

thats what i thought was been implied but i thought the rfl stopped things like that and image rights payments a while ago?

So what do people ACTUALLY know about the Berro saga? It seems to have come from nowhere with no real reasons why.

I would be very disappointed if true, unless he is replaced by a great half/hooker.

is there gonna be ( just one season ) were there is'nt gonna be any up's by the club, why get berro off quote end off last season and then get him go bk home ( wage's



) not a clue ?? and whats happening to mike burnett his he stopping or is he also on his way out ?

berrigan did all the work himself to get off quota.

Image rights maybe?

As a resident, I presume that's what his visa is, will he have to pay tax instead of a off shore account?

Seems that is the issue.

If thats true he only has himself to blame.

I wouldn't let him leave unless we have a replacement lined up.

Swapping him for Monaghan would be good business IMO.

Not sure about Lauaki, needs a big season been a poor signing so far for me.

Doubt you'll get many specifics. Standee has a self-confessed personal dislike of Rule which tends to colour his judgement somewhat.

Thing is that the club would also take a hit with NICs etc. Possibly enough to cause cap problems.

Thought NI was outside the cap these days

Not sure TBH. I'd have to check the latest Op Rules and it's way too late at night for that.

If Berrigans immigration status has changed his tax status why is that Rule's fault ? Especially as we all heard Berrigan did the work himself.

I thought the quota rules were RFL rules not the government`s for tax purposes?
Players get themselves off the quota all the time. In the eyes of the HMRC Berrigan is Australian is he not?
Why would he get off the quota to stitch himself up for paying tax and NI?
Maybe Hull have not taken up his 4th year option to get someone else in?
Who knows? But it is looking highly likely that he is off.

Who's left us and signed for Rovers, could only be Burnett or Washy?

There are obviously many slightly different versions of the rumour circulating, which is understandable, but I doubt Berrigan coming off quote would affect his position as an Australian national for the purposes of tax.
