Going back to Australia, his hearts not in it apparently.

His hearts not in it. I can vouch for that. When does his sick note expire.

Sorry to see him go if true…..been a fabulous , talented player that on his day has scored and created some great tries. At least he is being honest and not pretending to play. Best wishes to him and his family .

I do feel like it is a sad exit for him.
When he's been good he's been very good for us and deserves credit from the club and fans, but with injuries and poor form from him and the team he will just fizzle away, which is a shame.

He could have just sat and collected his wages for the next 18 months so credit to him for going if he isn't fully committed anymore. He had his injury problems last year in particular and then a rather unfortunate one this which seems to have tarnished his reputation a bit but 28 tries in 63 SL appeareances shows his threat us plus many others set up for his winger. I know Peter Fox certainly benefitted from his passes on many occasions. One of the classiest centres i've seen pull on the Wakefield shirt in a long time and he will be missed.

On the list of people to go he would be a long way down mine, but I would imagine he was one of our bigger wage earners so should hopefully free up some cash to spend on bolstering the squad should Brian Smith achieve a miracle and keep us up.

I wonder how the season would have panned out had he caught that pass against Saints.

We would have had 3 wins instead of 2

I agree, at least he's admitted his heart isn't in it anymore and has done the honourable thing. Like you say he struck up a great partnership with Foxy and they had a good understanding together. I once heard him described as the poor man's Gidley which is nothing to be ashamed of, just a shame he did get injured a lot but was a joy to watch at times, very classy and skilful

I wouldn't agree with the honest tag. Hes been on the sick for ages, he could have decided his hearts not in it then and left. That would have been honest. He could then have spent his afternoons in the Strafford instead of the costa.
How can you give credit to a R L player that's not committed.

Not up for the fight? Cheers Dean.

Ok, but only he knows at what point is heart wasn't in it anymore, when he did play I don't think generally he can be accused of shirking his defensive duties compared to others, although he wasn't without his faults in that area, but generally I think it's harder defensively in the threequarters than in the forwards, I don't mean harder physically I mean it's harder to read attacking threats than down the middle generally. If the club thought he was on the sick as you put it they could have cancelled his contract, but obviously that means paying them up etc. Before he was offered the last contract they also knew his injury record and his wage demands, which obviously they were happy about?
