I'm intrigued by the term "minor" disciplinary offence. The other two reasons stated are no fault of his own so seems quite harsh treatment if only a minor offence especially for such a good player. I fear our loss will be someone else's gain.

Can only assume that he had become a disruptive influence and it was detrimental to the team to have him around. If that is the case then it is the correct decision.

The statement has raised a few more questions which we'll probably never get the answer to but I suppose it's time to move on. I just hope this decision doesn't come back to haunt us.

Good luck to the lad, it must be a weight of his shoulders to get this out in the open, for all his faults he was/is a great player.

Thanks Martyn for the 2 great tries in the GF last year.

All the best !!

I hope he goes to Australia as rumoured. He needs to get away from everything, going to Hull FC with Long and possibly Tim Smith and a coach like Agar who is NOT going to be able to control him/look after him could end up in disaster.

Good luck to him

Sounds like he was more innocent than some claimed. Hope he gets better

Good player but somehow seems to be a loose cannon off field. More to this than meets the eye but we wont get to hear about it for a long time. I was so glad when he left us for you and just knew this would happen one day and now it has and it did not take long. Better off without him.

One would imagine that Wigan are somewhat downplaying his misdemeanors.

Seconded. I hope he gets everything sorted out .

That statement is a cop out.

Does rather seem that there's more than meets the eye but I doubt it'll ever fully come out. Suppose that's the player's/club's prerogative but it does little to put off the speculators.

Thanks for the effort Glees, a damned good centre if ever there was. Hope you can get your personal life squared away and focus on the important things.

Is it heck. You have no idea what his personal situation is and the damage the club could do to a) to Martin and his family and b) the club itself if the official situation is released.

A career has been ruined here either way, I think people should have a bit of respect here and hope Martin some way or another manages to turn himself around.

Joel.

rather that than have a legal battle on our hands

No chance. He is a second rower / loose if there ever was one.

Marsh was wrongly dropped at the weekend. He had a great game defensively the week before -ok attack wise needs work but they need to work at the combination rather than chop and change and play people out of position.
