wasnt he cup tied anyway?

Nope, never played for you in the cup. He played in the semi against St Helens.

Hes actually been decent for us.

Barring a sudden injury crisis, Cross wouldn't have got a spot in the Wigan 17 for Wembley anyhow.

He's missed out on nothing.

Ive seen two of his recent displays for you, the game against Hull and the Semi. He was awful in the first and anonymous in the latter.

To be honest G were the pies ever gonna say anything other! Cross was a laughing stock in many a pie thread whilst at Leeds then as if by magic he was a smart cracking signing! Their glasses are so tinted they look like Dylan

Hes not been awful in any of the games hes played for us, you just want to see that because he failed under your pathetic excuse for a coach.

We didnt bring him in to be a star player prop, to go out and bash every single player he runs at and win MOM every week. We brought him in to cover injury, come in, get through as much work as needed and help other guys like Mossop, Lima, Coley and Prescott dominate the opposition. He did exactly that. If he hadnt signed for Widnes already i'd take him at Wigan next year in a second. He's a proper decent hard working player, gutted for him that he's broke his arm because i would have loved to have seen him march on at wembley with a point to prove against you men.

Nail. Head.

That's not acceptable at Leeds - all signings should be superstars

I feel sorry for the lad - OK so he hasn't lived up to the expectations put on him but his treatment from Leeds was shocking and just as he's got the opportunity to prove himself he gains a season ending injury.

Rugby gods at work ?

30 odd year old, rookie, steel lumper, just over 100 pro games played with yet another serious injury? Never saw that one coming.

Anyone got any super glue?

He must have played about 15 games this year, which will translate roughly to about 300 minutes of rugby for him, he's had a busy year. Least now he can look forward to playing for Widnes.

Did you watch the Hull game?

He came off the bench and gave away four penalties in a row. One of the reasons he wasn't played at Leeds was because he was giving away penalties. Whilst in possession quite a few times. He wasn't going to be selected until he could control his discipline. Nothing has changed.

He couldn't get into a struggling Leeds.

Of course, now that he's wearing a Wigan jersey he might just be Kevin Ward re-incarnate. Then again, you might just be holding a very cherry and white tinted, biased opinion. At Least the Leeds fans opinions on Cross have remained consistent when he was with us and when he was with you.

Did he watch the semi?

He failed to take the ball up and gave away a penalty in his first involvement. Hence why he wasn't given a second stint in that game.

Classic Cross.

Not objectively it would appear.
