Great news as he was a good player when he left and has the potential to be a great player.

Great for the continuity of the side to have what looks like an established backline in place.

Awesome news, I was devastated he left, I'm now elated he's coming back.

Great news!

Superb stuff.

The lads got all the skills. I've got to say Charnley has been superb this year so he's got a job on replacing him (I didn't think I'd be typing that last year) but I can't think of a winger I'd rather have.

Is he any relation to Sam Burgess?

Glad he hasn't stuck around at Sydney waiting for a chance, he's too good for that.

Full marks to the club with this news. IMO we couldn't have got a better replacement for Charnley. A 21 year old international who knows our setup inside out, it doesn't get better than that. Looks like I'm going to have to look really hard for something to moan about if this continues!

Disappointed for the lad that he didnt manage to crack the first team, hope it wont be too much of a dent to his confidence. Over the moon to have him back though

I think he saw the bright lights of the NRL and got star struck and jumped too soon. He had hardly served his apprenticeship in SL before he was off. Not a criticism I applaud his confidence but a huge ask for him to make a go of it at the Roosters when you consider who was in front of him.

I think he was maybe poorly advised.

He has packed on some size over there whilst maintaining his pace. I think he will probably do 5 years back here before having another crack at the NRL, and I'm sure given that time he will make a real go of it then. In the mean time we get to watch him and benefit from him. Great news.

Replacing Charnley with a younger, faster winger is a cracking bit of business.

Damn......more pain for The Wire !!!

Sensational Wigan. Well done. Hopefully this is the beginning of the end for out players wanting to go to oz

Pity we couldn't keep hold of him in the first place.
It's the state of the league and RL in general, but it's a pity the likes of Joe, Sam, Joel and anyone who's come through our system should be with us from the start not wanting to look elsewhere. Then the signings we bring in are additional to our own development.

We're signing someone who we should have never left.

Another prodigal son returns to the club. What great news. Hallelujah.
