I'll be amazed if he's here next year. I'm sure we'll work out a financial package for him and he'll be picked up by a top end championship club

Maybe Toulouse will take him, will be difficult for them to recruit many decent players for next year with them not knowing if they'll be in SL until end of October. Was listening to an interview with Houles yesterday and he was saying he's got to offer the players two contracts for next season, a super league one and a championship one, and most recent players just aren't interested. Could maybe see Carlos doing a couple of seasons there too

No, but if as the OP suggested he's refusing to be paid off, I'd give him a go on the wing next season and utilise his height to catch Abdul's kicks to the corner, scored a good try for Bradford at the weekend:

Bulls fans have been raving about him. He also looks happy and more confident.
IF we ever give him a go again, it shouldn't be in the pack.
He's been playing Wing/centre (where he played plenty in Aus) for the bulls, so out wide is where he should be played

Back in Hull.

Maybe he is a winger, but there's a reason the Bulldogs who have a good coach moved him to the pack.
.Think he has found his level.

I sometimes wonder on those posts on twitter whether it's bulls fans raving or FC fans asking Bradford to sign him up

Without being disrespectful I think in all honesty he is probably now playing at a level that he is suited to and whilst I admire him wanting to fight for his place, I just don't think he is good enough or tough enough for SL rugby.

Had we actually seen a glimpse of something in any of his performances that would suggest otherwise then maybe just maybe you could argue that as he's contracted he's worth another shout, but frankly he has shown nothing whatsoever. So with that in mind I just see no point in him playing first team rugby again for us, would we see the likes of ST's or Wigan doing similar? No is the answer.

He's free to leave so hopefully he can find another club and free up another quota spot for us.

It's a signing that just didn't work out. I don't question the effort but he's not at the required standard.

Best for all concerned if he moved on.
