Yes we don’t know the full story Col, but safe to say Farah is in a position to know and has been vocal about it just in case see below
Farah’s comments are spot on too.
So like I said, if we accept him breaking his contract it’s ok so long as we accept the same happening to us.
i fully agree with Kent comments below as well. Penrith have cap problems and if they were looking to offload Kikau he is one to jump at. He is an out and out match winner albeit had a few injury concerns this year. Doubt Penrith would let him go though.

Macy the players that want out of contracts, in many cases its about the money, I have seen several different amounts that Matto is supposed to be on, ranging between 350 - 450K many players have clauses that have an increase if selected for rep matches with an increase, but so far all he has is a standbye for SOO so I understand unless he's been picked in any of these off/end season games.
Frizel has also bee in the media about wanting out of the draggies, which one would we pick?
Kikau is one of the big Riff signings up to end of 2022, and would not come cheap if the Riff let him go, they already are paying towards Blake and RCG's playing for the eels, would they liet a player of his ability go and pay out more for another player at another club, lets not forget they are paying towards Dallin WATENE-ZELEZNIAK, at the dogs although he's only signed to end of next year.
From my perspective, if we were to go for one of the players, Kikua adds a lot and can play prop and second row, my other primary preference would be for Matto as he has shown his ability like Kikau and his age is a better fit, similar to Kikau. Frizel for me is a VG player and would not be a bad signing but he would want 3 years, but his age as well as his injuries have slowed him somewhat this year.
We are definitely lacking in the 2nd row department for next year.
Matterson or Frizzel would be good pick ups.
we need another back up hooker as well

17: O Kaufusi
that would be be a good side
Jack Wighton is on the market.
Wow if they are even remotely considering letting one of their favourite sons go to market, they mustve been perilously close to over the cap this year...wouldn’t surprise either :)
He is off contract at the raiders end of next season, that means he's able to talk to other clubs from Nov 1, its anothery contract thing with his manager

Colin I think that he is looking for 1Mil plus in his next contract per season. This will be interesting to see how it pans out.
I think he will stay at the Raiders but is the reason they are letting players like Rapana go
John I think he's a VG player, but seems many players are looking at big money contracts, I guess with Wighton winning the GF medal he can make claim to that sort of coin but, in reality how many players really are worth that amount?
He is likely looking at his next contract to get as much as possible, owing to his age, 27 before next season starts and then he's 28 in 2021 when a new contract would start, seems that he also sees that he may be able to upgrade his last year on current contract and significatn amount after that.
