Shame it had to end like this because I've always liked Lance. We can argue about whether he should have been signed but once he arrived he gave everything - under extremely trying circumstances.
If every foreign import was as naturally competitive SL wouldn't have any problems.
Of course - this leaves us incredibly short on backs. And Lance was a utility player which makes him doubly important.
i doubt he has actually retired. i bet he pops up in the NRL.
He wouldn't be able to without Saints agreeing to it? We might do of course, does seem like he's retiring as he's sick of not playing rather than actually that badly injured.

everyones a winner then. he gets to sign for a new club and saints free the cap up. I expect he's had a pay off.
This is a bit odd as he is clearly not retiring through injury. This appears to be a get out that gives him some face saving result i.e. he wasn't given he boot officially when in fact it looks like he was told that his chances of playing were small.
It seems the rumours (also proven by the team selections of late) of him being out of favour with KC were true.
The moral of the story seems to be don't get on the wrong side of the coach.

A payoff would be pointless? It would count on the cap in full. What is more likely is he's forgone the remainder of his contract in exchange for being allowed to leave now. That is what I take from the wording of the announcement, with the mentions of Lance informing the club, no mention of an injury and the 'no further comment' line.
