Feb - He's not going to Barton
April - He's free to leave - to the NRL
May - He's can't go -- to St George
July - He's not going -- To Barton - he's part of their future plans
Aug - He wants to leave.
so that clears everything up then
the longer this has gone on , the more I'm convinced the last place he'll end up is in a Salford Jersey.
Cas will flog him to any NRL side that can free up some cap , and could bear to see him leave to a SL side ( like Saints , Catalans, ) but no way to a club they feel would be fighting them next season for a relegation spot . IMO
