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.
