Resigned for 2016. According to a club email.

Just for clarity, resigned or re-signed?

Re-signs.

An official club email or a mistakenly sent out club email?

I hope he isn't getting paid a lot for that, if he's our marquee it's a complete waste of money.

Roby is the benefactor of the marquee allowance.

It's also worth noting that Walsh had an NRL offer (I don't know who for) which he turned down.

Happy with that. If he gets his fitness back, he's the best 7 in the league.

I think the NRL offer was Titans.

Says who?

In his latest Star column, KC confirms we will be using the marquee allowance to offer better deals to our current players such as Roby and Big Alex. Sorry to burst the fantasy RL signings bubble...

Signed it months ago.

I suppose it depends on his ankle if it's a good deal for saints. It's not worked out for him injury wise here and he's basically missed a season and half in the two seasons he's been here.

It's worth noting the option was in his favour and no lt the clubs.

"If NRL clubs come hunting" - that's the key bit, were using it to try and keep the players we do have rather than trapping ourselves and risk losing our best players.

As nice as a "marquee" is, we don't have a great record with them and I'd rather us use it this way ...
