I think its what we all expect anyway and I would say good luck to him

Fair play to him.

He's given his all for Wigan and wants to test himself.

Also, I hope he kills it over there and shuts all the jealous idiots over here up.

Rather this then him talk about Union.

Wigan are in safe hands whatever happens in the future. Our academy is servicing us well and will continue to do so.

I'm sure he'd be brilliant over there - he's a class act, no question.

I genuinely hope he goes.

He's too good for Super League. Will have served us well for half of his career and more than paid the club back for the time and investment they put into him.

He'd improve immeasurably out there playing high intensity games week in week out.

That's nothing he hasn't already said when he
Signed his new deal ! OLD NEWS

As has said above as long as he stays in League i say good luck to him, If he stays relatively fit and healthy the the money on offer from RU will be immense and hard to beat from SL or the NRL

I don't think it's anything realistic Wigan fans wouldn't expect. Part of me wants him to go over and tear the NRL up. A lot of aussies and other SL team's fans seem to think he can't be classed as world class until he has done that. As others have said I would much rather he ended up in the NRL than be wasted playing yawnion. In an ideal world he'd stay at Wigan for all of his career but with our league being able to pay so much less than others there is always going to be a risk of losing them. Also with the overall standard of the NRL being so much higher than SL there will be a desire for the best players in England to test themselves against Marshall, Slater, Inglis, Thurston, Smith etc on a weekly basis.

He isn't the first and he won't be the last. The RFL have got a real job on their hands or there could well be an exodus of most of the top quality players from SL.

I'm sure at some point they'll want him to become a Queenslander/NSW'er too.

Never a truer word spoken, there immediate job is to ensure the game remains profitable and attracts big money sponsorship otherwise the game is going to continue losing clubs like Bradford to admin or liquidatio

As long as it's the NRL and not union i'll be happy for him, would prefer SL to get their house in order though and him stay in England.

This is the first time I've seen anything about him preferring the NRL over Union.
I'd rather he stay but if he does go at least he won't be lost to the game and will still be available for England.

Hopefully a nice big transfer fee will be paid as he will still have 2 years on his contract, he will go at some stage so better to get something for him than going for free in 2016
