More to do with Justin not seeing him as a SL player and offering a contract that would have put him on the streets. As it happens he is just about to go play in Australia and hopefully resurect his career over there.
As for Leroy Rivett, I think the addage of "there is no substitute for pace" comes in to this one, his younger days he flew, later on he lost his pace and that meant he had to expand his game which meant he wasn't the player coaches wanted him to be so left him trying to find a club that would have him.
Unfortunately I think in Dave Wilson, Ste Bannister and Leroy Rivetts cases life away from the game was more attractive than working hard at getting better which ultimately cost them their top flight careers but sometimes I feel clubs give up too easily as in Dave's case, had he been given that opportunity and read the riot act from day one of 2007, he maybe would have dropped his social life and become a quality player. I guess we'll never know for sure but I wish him all the best down under.
I think you'll find in dave wilsons case he was given every opportunity to have a full time contract and be a star but it was daves own fault for turning it down and doing what he did I know this because I know dave Wilson and he openly admits it so it wasn't a case of Justin not seeing him as a super league player as Justin held him in high regard
