Probably got him on the cheap as he hasn't played a single NRL game.

Says he doesnt want to play for any other SL club, so could see him back with us if it doesnt work out. 


Good luck to him though, cant blame him for taking the opportunity. 

Another factor for him is that he knows Australia and has family over there, not like a young kid going without any support near by. That might be why he had decided to go so early in his career.

But New Zealand is not Australia.

Good luck to him, but its time the club have been burned here by sticking by him. We still gave Max Simpson not played for 2 1/2 years we cannot jeep supporting players who perpetually injured. 

You mean players like Kallum Watkins?
It's just part of the sport, it is brutal and tougher on younger bodies.

Lots of players pick up longer term injuries when they are younger, I'm pleased the club stands by them it shows we care and helps to create better human beings. In the case of Gannon, it's disappointing that after the club took the decision to prioritise his health over their prospective gain, that he has returned the favour by leaving at the first opportunity.


We have other kids coming through, we should now focus on them and develop them and if that means Gannon gets less game time as a result for the rest of this season then so be it. He has looked out for himself, the club has to look out for itself too.
