I think I'd rather he does a Lee Smith. Stays there for 6 months, hates it and comes back to us on a much cheaper contract.

The whole debacle has been mishandled, and bar the walking off on Friday, I'm not convinced it's all been down to him despite him getting all the blame. I think the delay in the announcement has been due to a combination of factors, but mostly his adviser (who let's not forget has previous with us) and the club.

Kieron Purtill says on sporting life ""Ultimately it wasn't a financial decision......".

Strange that, I've just watched him on Granada reports saying we couldn't compete with the Yawnion salary cap. WTF?

I just hope, as fans, we're able to conduct ourselves with a bit of class here.

Booing / abusing him from the terraces can only have a negative impact on the team, and whatever your thoughts on his decision and manner in which he went about making it, there are 16 other blokes out there in the red vee who are worthy of playing in front of positive support.

You might feel he's shown a lack of class by turning his back on the club that has invested in him at virtually the first opportunity, but we can rise above it as fans - and must do to prevent the rest of the season descending into pantomime.

Have to say I agree, although i don't know who his current adviser is.

To be honest what do you really expect him to say? If it really is all about money he'd hardly come out and say it. It just makes me laugh when those jumping ship talk about 'challenges' when in many cases they haven't actually done/won anything much in league. If you want a 'challenge' how about a really big one - trying to help England compete with Australia in RL.

He'll be a Saints player again soon when he realises that he's made a mistake.

I've already started a home made banner out of a double bed sheet and sheeps blood.

"£a$tmond - You've sold your soul, now play your heart out!"

Does that count as a bit of class?

I think Eamonn sums it up well

"He's not achieved anything in rugby league."
