I know it's a few years ago but, he was quality when he went to Union.
Let's just hope it takes him a few games to pick the game back up again

Quality HB's are a very scarce commodity in League and he could be a very good signing for them.
Lui,, who he is "covering" for, isn't exactly quick.

Actually, when he chose to go to union, apart from the money off the field, on the field he had become a "spot", whereby every team playing Saints knew exactly how to exploit him in defence.

Saints couldn't hide him anymore and good teams had easy pickings against him in attack.

It's not an area of his game he will have improved upon in union.

Based on the opposition he would of come up against in the centres in Union if it is the case he hasn`t improved I`m not sure how he has lasted 10 years at that level!

I feel you are suggesting he has not only survived, but thrived for 10 years in union.

He has played something like 10 games per season and scored around 3 tries per season. Hardly great.

In League his threat was attack. That's gone. He'll sparkle on occasion (probably against us lol), but he's 31 now.

He wasn't cheese the first time round and he won't be cheese the second time time round.

Show pony.

I'll be so bold as to make 3 incremental predictions:

1. He won't be ready to play v Wfd.
2. He will be injured in the game and need to be subbed.
3. If he plays and doesn't leave through injury, he will be tactically subbed (or Leeds will lose the game (and he'll be the scapegoat).


4. Little will rip us to shreds (we are Wakefield, after all).

Covered every scenario there then dboy

NOTHING gets past me,

So your telling me, he has played 10 years in Union at the very highest level in a very difficult position to defend, without been able to defend? He may have had some injury issues but the majority time his was fit, he was picked, now I am sat here wondering why he got capped 6 times for England if he couldn't defend.

If you cant defend in either code in any position, you will get found out very quickly, especially at elite level.

He's done nothing.

He was targeted in League before he went.

He hasn't improved.

Not wanted in union.

He is not the Messiah.

Find your Boots, and get yourself down to BV, we’ll need you in the defensive lineup.

Apart from that.
