Either way we might have wealthy owners but the money McNichol has ploughed into Rovers for seemingly no financial return is huge in RL terms like it or not they’ll be able to match or better any Hull offer. There’s absolutely no way Lewis joins Hull when he’s contracted until 2028. That is one move that’s certainly won’t happen regardless of marquee status. Even in an NRL scenario Rovers will have stipulations ensuring he rejoins them if they did let him go early.

Yes 50k for home grown and 100k for non fed, I was wrong, although I've read about 5 articles that say different things

Same. I was convinced the non fed part was 75k and didn't even bother to initially read the article I shared.

Sad news about Abdul, hopefully somewhere down the line he gets his body right and can carry on with his rugby.

Like I say regardless of the specifics of the marquee rules Lewis is happy enough to commit to Rovers and even if he did fancy a crack in Aus it would have to be on Rovers terms now he’s committed. They’d sooner fold the club then let him join Hull it’s pointless even discussing it.

Wigan thought they were getting Williams back when he returned from nrl , look how that turned out . Can’t force a player to play for you if he doesn’t want too .

Lewis will go to the NRL, well that was the plan before he got his Mrs pregnant anyway, so whether that changes things.

I hope Lewis does go to the nrl,would be hilarious,he’d be back in a year with 1 appearance,and lots of nsw cup experience

I personally think he would go really well over there
