OFFICIAL James Roberts granted immediate release

[Footy Fanatic]

Hate to lose these X factor type players especially when the club has so few of them. But it's obvious that he wasn't interested in playing under Seibs and the right decision was made in cutting him loose. I fully expect him to link up with another club within a fortnight.

What if its already happened?

Jack Bird to leave now his best mates left

feck him off too...medical or compassionate, just a waste of cap money. trial Perese, Nui, Vudogo or pace in QCup.

 

[theshed]

He’s going to tear up for Souths. It’s a bit of Niko situation where it’s probably best for all involved.

Hopefully with all these players getting pushed out, we’ll have some cash left over after retention for a big name signing in the off season.

 

[Cult]

I'm in two minds about this. He was released so we won't be paying a cent but unless there's someone replacing him, we lose in this situation. Even with his shitty attitude he was an asset on the field. Let's see what Seibold can do here.

Nah , I would give farnsworth a go, Coates too if hes old enough

feck him off too...medical or compassionate, just a waste of cap money. trial Perese, Nui, Vudogo or pace in QCup.

Gotta have some decent cap space free now. Time to get into Ponga's ear early.

We just need the last three years of his knights contract to be ‘in his favour’

Quite confident that Ponga won’t be leaving Newcastle.

Sadly we probably don't have shit free. Niko & Jimmy were presumably on about $900K between them, maybe slightly less. That'll be quickly eaten up with the retention of Lodge, Joffa, TPJ & Oates on upgraded contracts.

 

[Lightning Leon Bott]

Oh well, he’s the enemy now !!! He’s been our good luck charm this year when he DOESN’T play for us anyway !!!

 

[Accept]

What if its already happened?

Actually, I just read that he has joined Souths. Sorry, I'm at work and not up to date with the latest. ****, that was fast. Watch him carve it up with them.

 

[PNG Broncos fan88]

Nuh, its still tied up with Bird, Boyd, Milf, Gillett.

I'm assuming we haven't used McGuire and Kahu's money yet, add their pay to Nikorima and Roberts and it has to be around 1.1 million or so

 

[Gaz]

Seibold, WTF have you done?!!

He asked for effort. Jimmy said no.

 

[jarro65]

I'm not sorry at all to see him go back to Sydney.

He hasn't really done much for us for a while now, and with his shit attitude we are most definitely better off without him.

 

[Super Freak]

Seibold, WTF have you done?!!

He's getting rid of the players that aren't buying into what he wants to achieve and won't put in the effort.

 

[mitch222]

Souths needed to fill their drunk centre quota

 

[Super Freak]

So what does this say about Shane Richardson?

Makes him look like a pushover.
