Any worries you have with a guy like Hurrell (and we’ve had it over the years with Feka and to a lesser degree Mago) are doubled when they end a season in poor shape. He’s unlikely to come back in even as good a shape as he is now at the start of pre season, so there will likely be even more work needed come the start of his pre season. Add in the fact his pre season is delayed due to his Tonga involvement and it’s a big big ask.

| The Hurrell gamble has worked out for Saints - he was a big part of their success in 2022 and he was a great attacking weapon in the first part of 2023. Even if he falls off a cliff now Saints fans would have taken that considering his Leeds form. But he was only ever supposed to be a back up option originally and that's probably what he should be in 2024. They'll find someone to replace Hopoate IMO even if its a punt or someone out of left field.

| Saints should have taken Chris Hill for a year or 2 before he signed his Huddersfield extension. Forget his age, he's still a class act. And knowing how tight fisted he is, I'm positive he'd rather be on this side of the pennines instead of wasting all that money on petrol

The rest I agree with.

3076_1671446335.jpg SAINTS THE ORIGINAL AND PERENNIAL CHEATS
For sale full Saints kit (circa 1989). Shirts in pristine condition, but shorts badly soiled.
For 27 - 0 you get a trophy
For 75 - 0 you get sod all.
Wigan had eight in a row
Saints have five in a row:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_3076.jpg |

I've said many times that Wigan should have signed Chris Hill when he left Wire. He's been a tremendous servant to whichever team he has played for and was really good again for England in the series v Tonga.

As a professional sportsman he should hang his head in shame. I fully understand his desire to return home and pay respects to his mother but I can’t see the visit doing anything for his fitness.

Hang his head in shame for going home after the season is over? Behave
If he comes back another stone overnight then you will have a point

Hurrell looks like a guy at the end of his career, winding down and looking to the next phase of his life.
Was actually quite sad watching him on Saturday clearly in his current physical state not being able to play at that level which clearly contributed to some of his actions born out of frustration.
I wouldn’t though write him off.
I’d say it’s a case of it going 1 of 2 ways. He could continue on the path he is on and go through the motions and play out his final year or the break and return home be exactly what he needs to motivate him for 1 last push.
I actually hope it’s the latter as he’s a great character and great entertainer and would be great to see him produce a few more highlight moments in probably his last year in the top flight.,

I agree if I was him I would want the fans to remember me fondly rather than someone who was a has been.

I didn’t mean that, I was referring to his physical condition.
