what a big girls blouse, its hardly like he's moved to the ends of the earth is it!
and you can feel sorry all you like, i've just moved back to london because i got bored of my home town (leeds) having gone back for 6 months. a single (i presume james is), sportsman with more money than most in his backpocket, how is he not enjoying the london life!?!?!

I can understand the homesickness, being a Wire in London. Never really had it myself but the lack of people who talked about rugby or even heard of 'league' did get me down did get me down a bit.
Watched Quins plenty of times and as much as i love watching the rugby at the Stoop it's not the same atmosphere, saying that 3 empty stands does that. Maybe it is the same for the players, they just don't get the same intensity.

I hope Quins can sort it out though

good grief

I can see why London might be more attractive than up North, you can go anywhere without being recognised, just go out to the shops without signing autographs, and as others have said, being comparatively rich and young in london would be sweet!

Being from the shire you will feel right at home in a stadium with a small crowd, underperforming team and no atmosphere! You might struggle to find aussie flag to drape yourself in and a Lebanese to beat up though to make you feel like your really back in Cronulla!
