Con Mika : Thu Oct 13, 2011 5:39 am  

Confirmed this morning he has signed with Hull KR and a deal fell through with Tigers last Friday. He becomes HKR's 11th overseas player for 2012.

Millward is currently in Australia talking to agents/players.

Looking at the England squad I reckon half of our overseas players can play for England.

Confirmed where? I can't seem to find anything.

On another note - how the hell did Griffin manage to get a contract at Leeds??? I was stunned when he signed for Huddersfield tbh

It is disappointing but I think there are many more fringe 1st grade players over in Australia who we will Be looking at. No great loss regarding squad strength because we will find someone else but annoying all the same when we do the work in getting him out of contract with Knights.
I think we need to tighten up at the club regarding protocol on signing announcements also. I heard we had signed Mika on Monday 26th September – 18 days ago. I would rather us not let the info out until all the detail has been completed – we never seem to learn from past mistakes do we?
