More like awkward reading of seeing fans of other clubs being ridiculed by us for having takes on this signing that turned out to be accurate whilst Wire fans showered plaudits on the club for its genius recruitment.

Fat blokes in the mud, flat caps, bogs that drain pi55 directly onto your boots - Now it's all 'Big Ask', 'Arm Wrestle', 'Collision' 'Contact' 'Facials' 'Upper Body Strength' 'Big Units' 'Scooting from Dummy Half' 'Energy Levels' 'Laying the Platform' ‘Middles’ and 'T-R-Y'.

Just my opinions unless it's a FACT, in which case it's a fact.:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_74166.jpeg |

Not “genius recruitment “ but praised for trying something different. It was an experiment, everyone knew that but was seen as low risk. It hasn’t paid off, move on. |

It raised the profile of the club, and got us a tiny bit of recognition in the mainstream media. Positive, at the time.
Not exactly "burned it up", but leaves the club (eventually) with no ill feeling. Not every signing can be a success. We live and learn. |

It was a very low-risk signing with no cap space taken or fee. Don't blame the club for trying. It didn't work out, we move on.

If it’s true he’s gone then it has turned out to be low-risk. However, if he is staying for his third year his salary will count fully and we’ll be in trouble as it will take a huge chunk of cap space.
Judging by the rumours and the fact we’ve signed Inglis it would seem he is indeed off to pastures new though.

Good luck to him whatever he does, he was brave to try league at the stage of his career he was at and unfortunately it hasn't worked out, I think both parties need to move on. I. Hope he gets himself a contract elsewhere, it will probably in union now.

I must be getting confused. How many years did he sign for then? 3 and a bit? I seem to remember doing the maths at the time and working out he'd count 100% in his final year and would have to justify it.
If he was only going to count 50% in his final year then fair enough, it hasn't;t really affected us as a club. Just a bit of pocket money frittered away by Mr Moran. |

zero percent up until the end of his first full season, cos we got him in mid year we got 18 months cap free, then the '2nd full' season it was 50% |

And so you aim towards the sky,
And you'll rise high today,
Fly away, Far away,
Far from pain....:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_53838.jpg |

Have to give his agent massive kudos for that interview - Basically, putting him in the shop window, dressing it up as though his failure in RL was down to Wire, rather than his own lack of ability.
Wish him all the best, but it's uncanny that the Daily Mail turned it into a chance to put the boot into RL?

I always felt he was a rebound signing after losing out on Watkins again.
