Would Saints not offer him a new contract or did he simply want out?

Catalans Dragons have signed Australian scrum-half Luke Walsh following his departure from St Helens.

The 29-year-old former Newcastle and Penrith half-back, who scored 12 tries and 152 goals in 48 appearances for Saints, has signed a 12-month contract with the Perpignan club.

"I am very excited to be linking up with Catalans," Walsh said. "The guys are pulling together a very good side and I'm expecting big things at the Dragons in 2017."

Catalans chief executive Christophe Jouffret said: "Leaders are always crucial parts in a team and around Richie Myler, Thomas Bosc and Lucas Albert, it was necessary to enlist an experienced player who will quickly melt into the group.

"Luke has demonstrated leadership abilities in the NRL and, more recently with St Helens in the Super League, and will be a major asset to our team in 2017."

Walsh leaving was common knowledge from almost the start of the season it was only his destination that was unknown.

A battle of the bald type thing?

Walsh had been hoping for a NRL gig. When none was forthcoming, Saints were apparently planning to offer him peanuts to stay. Catalan was a more preferable option.

I think that's more to the point. When I've seen him play recently his heart didn't seem to be in it
