Trent Robinson confirmed last week<\/a> that he will see out the remainder of his contract until the end of 2027.<\/p>\n\u201cOf course he will,\u201d Robinson said.<\/p>\n
\u201cI think you\u2019ve got to be careful that, that stuff people don\u2019t buy into those conversations too much.<\/p>\n
\u201cJust because one person says it doesn\u2019t mean it\u2019s true. We know where we\u2019re at between Spenny and I and the club and his management and we\u2019ll keep rolling on.\u201d<\/p>\n
Whether or not the rumours were true surrounding his future, Leniu will still be free to test the open market on November 1, where the PNG Chiefs are expected to show a high interest.<\/p>\n
\u201cSpenny doesn\u2019t talk to anyone outside of there and we haven\u2019t either, so I think it\u2019s disappointing when those things come up,\u201d Robinson said.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe really value the way that he plays and that opportunity is right there in front of him. It\u2019s disappointing a bit of the commentary around it but we can\u2019t handle that.<\/p>\n
\u201cThat\u2019s the interest of when someone doesn\u2019t play as much as time as they want and Spenny\u2019s never been one to hide his emotions and that\u2019s why we value him as well..<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019ve had clear conversations about what my expectations are and what he wants and we\u2019re really clear on that and there\u2019s no better time than tomorrow.\u201d<\/p>\n
