In all the latest hulabullou about announcements and rebranding it has been a little forgotten that the homesick Joel Moon returns tomorrow night. As PV said at the time perhaps Leeds is slightly closer to Sydney than Salford!!!

I am not normally an advocate of getting stuck into former players as I think it spurs then on to even better performances, however in this case I think we can make an exception.

I trust the shedites can come up with something suitable for the dirty Judas!!!

Over to you guys!!!

I have to say I'm surprised at these reactions. I have no problem with someone securing employment for themselves as a person who has recently been made redundant. However, the manner in which he left was indefensible.

I was made redundant from my teaching job due to falling student numbers and lack of funding at easter. I did not finish teaching until the end of the summer term. Did I spit my dummy out? No! I completed my obligations and now look sure something else.

If he had come out and said I've had enough if the uncertainty I want to move on then fine. To say he wanted to go home and then go to Leeds was a betrayal of the highest proportions in my view.

Considering the stick the likes of Myler, Coley and Robinson have got at times as I said I am surprised. There are quite a few who could have jumped ship and didn't. I agree with you all on his ability, he is a cracking player but I cannot forgive him for his dishonesty.

I can understand his reasons for wanting a move, it just didn't appear to have been handled the best.

Still one of the classiest players I've seen in a red shirt and one I'd thank the Doc for enternally if he could tempt him back.

Is there any source to this quote of his about saying he wanted to go home, or is it just what Salford RLFC told us he said?

Iain, he used the homesick card at his tribunal when he tried to get the RFL to annul his contract with Salford, that and all sorts of other things, such as verbal agreements with Matt Parish, not having enough time to consider the contract before he was pressurised into signing. Salford could disprove all the contractual issues his agent came up with. Won't make me popular on here, but Steve Simms submitted Salfords case, and an excellent job he did of it. I read both submissions when helping out the club, I would have to say Joel was led by his agent, and there were other issues I would not care to air on a public forum. So I have no problem with anyone looking to jump ship when the ship is sinking, just be honest about it.
