Officially gone now, been a great player without ever really being as good as he could have been, looks pretty finished now, gives us space no to sign a class halfback now this season hopefully.

He's still Leeds player until the 1st July. Agree we a desperately in need of a quality half back or 2.

I don't buy this wasn't as good as he could've been. He's became the best centre in the league, one of the best in the world, and has the medals to go with it. He's also still got plenty of time to reach his previous performance levels.

Good luck to him, it's been a pleasure watching him.

More consistency could have elevated him to Senior/Lyon levels but i blame that purely on the structure/game plan & Coaching.

For me her never reached the point where he was unplayable enough. Always a threat, great servant to the club and a very good player. Wish him all the best

Good luck to the lad. What length contract has he got I’ve not seen it mentioned anywhere

I believe it’s a 2 and a half year contract

I agree and also think if he had been in a team that would have used him as a weapon in a system i.e Cas or Wigan he would have looked the world class player he was/ maybe still is more often ala Ryan Hall. But he was always an honest pro who saw team glory over personal every time and for that you have to respect him as a leeds fan.
I actually think he has done justice on the international stage, im thinking the try in the WC semi against NZ in 2013 and his solid performances in 2017 WC culminating in what could have been the biggest moment in RL history but for an ankle tap in the final.

Whatever he does from this point Kallum has had a great career and there haven't been many better centres than him in SL era he has made his mark.

So what happens with the rest of his testimonial year?

The last event was last night which probably explains the timing of his departure.

How did he get on in his NRL debut?

He will have felt right at home. Titans are/were awful.

Majority of the ball he saw was been used as first hit up in their own 20. No running chances, gave one nice pass to give his winger a bit of space for a run.

Alleged to have lost ball a couple of times in contact leading to scrums
