I think that you will find that his dad had a fall out with the club over a few issues and took him away to Wigan, i may be wrong but i think it was before he was old enough for money to be an issue?

I said 'probably' meaning I was open to suggestion.

His dad fell out with the club yes, but the move to Wigan was 100% Joe's decision. Wigan tried alot harder than anyone to secure his signature behind the scenes. They painted a very rosy picture for him at the club over the next few years, which to be fair, probably would have materialized if it hadn't been for his injury.

Bear in mind he is 24 now and at the time he was looking to sign for an Academy I don't think Warrington had much to offer. It is rather more even now and Warrington is a good option for a young player.
