According to usually accurate reporting sources Kai has activated an NRL release clause in his contract and is back off to Aus next season. If so, he will be a loss. https://www.examinerlive.co.uk/sport/ru ... l-29199065

Excellent player. A work horse in the pack. Good luck to the lad. Hope he's got himself a good contract. He'll be missed but I'm sure we'll replace Kai with a player just as good, if not better.

I certainly second those views. He has been tremendous and I wish him well.

We Leigh fans will never forget him shooting through that gap at Wembley to set up Lam junior's first half try.

Year 4 of 5 year plan - Change all your players.

Good luck Kai, and thanks for the memories.

Personally, I will never forget my brother massaging his shoulders at Keel Service Station, the day after the Challenge Cup Final.

Great player and will soon be an international player for sure. Not sure we will get anything due to the clause in his contract but what a player.

Good luck to him.

Hope not true or we can get him to honour the last year of his contract. Worrying amount of player movement next year. Hope we can replace with quality to maintain standard of team. Be great if we can retain
Amone following great news on resigning of Lam.

Didn’t think he would be one we are losing, at least he’s going home and not to another Super league club. We will certainly have some quota spots next year. No Asiata, Luatele, Nakubuwai, O’Donnell and possibly Amone.Not sure O’Donnell counted on quota.

Yes he does, they failed in their attempt, but Lachlan does not count.

Just in case you need a reason not to trust SARL. They recommended that Leigh should sign Gil Dudson to replace Tom Amone. Personally, Gil is not good enough to lace Amone's boots.

Admittedly they did suggest Kevin Naiqama and Tyrone Peachey.

Given that news on Kai from his first season was that he might not stay, mainly due to a homesick girlfriend (apparently) I'm more than happy with how much longer he stayed. He's easily worth an NRL paycheque and while I'm slightly concerned about player churn at the moment we can still trust the plan

We'll miss him but he deserves his chance in the NRL. Wish him all the best, he's been top notch for us.
