Quote Stu M="Stu M"He definitely doesn't seem concerned with the sunshine or extra money I agree, its probably all about testing himself. I think if Saints offer him marquee money he will have a real decision to make. He will undoubtedly be captain by then too and the player that the club needs to re-build around. I don't think he has a chance of breaking Roby's appearance record which is what Graham suggested may be an aim but I've been told he is a real home bird, exceptionally close to his family etc.
I do agree though, despite this, I think he will go.'"
If somebody said to bet on what he’ll do, I think he’ll go at the end of this current deal, do 2 or 3 years and head back to St Helens (although it wouldn’t surprise me if he signed a 5 year deal at Saints instead).
One thing that stood out to me was what a crying shame it is that he’s not had a chance to play the Aussies or Kiwis. If he had regular games against them for England, I think he’d probably do a Roby/Lockers and stay here.
