I think Hohaia gets a bot of unfair stick on here, he's not been a great signing but I'm not sure it's all his fault. He was kept at SO for too long last year and has been shipped from pillar to post positionally.

I think he's still a better bet at 9 than Howarth.

I 100% he gets unfair stick. It's not his fault he can't play in the halves. He's a out and out fullback and asked him to play as our main halfback.

IMO he's still a good fullback and good luck to him if he goes. He's a smashing fella and his poor form has got him down. He's not come here for a pay day, it's just not worked out due to playing out of position.

Hohaia never stood any chance when Nathan Brown took over and the loan spell of Howarth was proof of this.

If true, that's a quota spot and I imagine a huge amount off the cap. Hopefully it will be put to good use.

Would a transfer fee be involved, if this were true? Or would we be quite happy to admit he was an expensive mistake on a far too long a contract, and wave him goodbye?

We're paying Salford 250 grand to take him off our hands. Money extraordinarily well spent.

Someone on the Salford board is worried that they've given us salary cap space when we are planning a move for Chase - someone they are after.

Imagine...

He played prop in a NRL grand final, apparently.

In 2005 for the tigers.

It was Hohaia that said he was a half and has come over to play In the halves.
We got suckered,no sympathy from me.
