I can accept failure, but I can't accept not trying.

Definitely going to happen I would have thought, look at the way Jake Emmitt signed for them telling Leigh it was his dream to play in Australia, only to coe back in a month sign for Swinton then on to Toronto, not a big fan of all this bleating Leigh fans have done about Toronto but this definitely looks a similar situation to me as he just signed the 2 year contract with us

If we keep his playing registration they either cough up or he has to wait for contact with us to expire.

Would we have to continue to pay him though? It would be cutting off our nose to spite the face if so.

Don't think we will owe him anything tbh, but by allowing him to leave a two year contract we have done him a pretty big favour and he [morally, at least] does owe us.

If he'd come out and said, "I want to play for them", we'd have come to an arrangement with Toronto, but as he hasn't, I don't see the problem in hanging on to his registration - after all, if he's not interested in playing then he, presumably, doesn't want it and if he IS interested in playing, then we're entitled to take that into account when he leaves.

No. We don't have to pay. It's similar to a non-compete clause. I believe we did it with Karl Pryce when he first left to go play Union.

I assume Karl signed that and took it literally.

Interesting to see that Joe Keyes played at hooker for Ireland at the weekend, despite Liam Finn being in the side at 7 (Finn has played quite a bit of hooker in the past).

Perhaps Keyes would be an option if AOB was to be out, and Rohan doesn't think Lumb is up to it yet? (Because let's be honest, nobody thinks Halafihi is up to it).

I don't think Smith has an issue with Lumb. Somebody on the thread earlier hit the nail on the head imo - we're looking for somebody who can cover AOB for a 20 minute breather but be an option elsewhere on the pitch for the rest of the game, rather than wasting a bench spot on a hooker for 20 minutes.

I'm talking more when O'Brien is injured. I don't think Lumb is up to playing 80 minutes and Halafihi certainly isn't. And as the squad stands right now, I don't see anyone else who would spell Lumb.

In all honesty, why bother? He's an average Championship player, what are we likely to receive in way of fee?

In any case, his comments since leaving would suggest his attitude is one we are better off without. We saw enough players 'going through the motions' last season. We need players who fully buy into the Bulls and are prepared to show a bit of fight for the badge.
