Along with Brett Hodgson who I know from the NRL they have other international players in key positions and a whole host of established British players ready to take the next step forward and make the club a real force in the Super League.

We were in the market for a half and to get the lad that I believe is an outstanding talent is a massive boost to the club.

I expect further squad movements over the coming weeks as the September deadline has just passed and can assure all Giants supporters that our intention is to build a squad capable of beating the very best.

Raiders CEO Don Furner said the board agonized over the decision, but unanimously felt that it was the best decision in the interest of the club going forward. "The board met and discussed Todd with his manager and they were granted the request to put his case to the board, and regrettably the board after deliberation chose to terminate his contract today," Furner said. "They felt they had given him enough chances and that he could continue no longer. "The decision was made that he had plenty of chances over his time with the club, and with his behavioural issues the board decided that they had had enough and that's what they came up with."

He said the club is willing to assist Todd through his rehabilitation including funding for any counseling services or rehabilitation plan. News Source: www.raiders.com.au
