Quote: NickyKiss "I got those bit loud and clear but I also got a sense you've taken it as some sort of kick in the teeth that he's thinking of continuing with another club which is crazy. He's a Kiwi, he was moving back to New Zealand and I'm 100% confident the NZ warriors are the only side he would have signed for. '"
Well you'd be wrong then.
Quote: NickyKiss "I watched the interview with him on the Wigan site last night and I got a sense that he simply didn't think he would get an opportunity to continue playing professional rugby league back home in New Zealand as he obviously doesn't have many clubs to choose from. His decision to retire was always about taking his kids home to be near their grand parents so I don't understand the point you keep making him about him pushing his body too far. His age and fitness were always a secondary concern in his retirement decision.'"
I don't see how that argument stacks up. All he had to do was ask his agent to see what was on offer in the NRL and instead of saying he was retiring he could have said he was off to an NRL club once his contract was up.
