I was disappointed to see him go. It was definitely just a salary cap thing. He's way too good for the ESL IMO. His hands were first class, his timing excellent and he was a super reliable finisher. He was quality.
I heard he wanted the cash radradra was on (which is fair enough since he was a better all rounder than radradra) but we couldn't afford that a the time. With hayne gone he would have been handy to have on board as well, but ah welll all the best to him.
I really hope Kenny gets the chance to play at fullback for Hull. They released last year's fullback Greg Eden and although they have a few other options, I think Sio is good enough to play fullback and he'll increase his value significantly if he can take on that more responsible position and then he'll give himself a good chance to come back to Australia while in his prime on good dollar.
"Tuivaiti to start, and Junior on the bench could be a really easy fix. Honestly, I haven't seen Tui have a bad game yet, give him the start and see how he handles it."

He wanted more money than we were willing to give him. 15 other NRL clubs must have also thought that because they didn't sign him up.
