Should have seen the season out IMO. He's let the club, his team mates and the fans down badly

My thoughts too . A big let down .
Leaving at the end of the season would have been more honourable.
McKinnon has shown a complete disrespect to all associated with Hull FC.

Noticed that Gentle was quick to point out to Gwillym on RH tonight that McKinnon "wasn't one of my big signings" when G said he was losing one of his big signings. He definitely gave the impression that he wasn't a fan and seemed to be critical of the lack of research done by the previous administration when they signed McKinnon saying there's more than just what a player does on the field to take into account.

With all due respect, being posted overseas in the army in the 1960s (during the cold war tensions et al) cannot be remotely compared to being away from a wife (with no kids) in the 21st century when you're on a bloody decent wage and not been forced to be somewhere were you are under threat from an enemy (Even if some parts of Hull can be a bit iffy it isn't the same as the FRG and I assume you had no say in your posting detail?)

Even if he were too tight not to have his missus fly out now & again he could 'see' & speak to her via video calls on a daily basis which cost nothing. Also it isn't as if he couldn't go back home for 3 months. of the year.

As I mentioned first up after everyone had given him the love in, he's a grown man & needs to grow pair or just man up & tell the truth if he got a better deal elsewhere. Had respect for him as a player, lost it for him as a man...

This is what I'm thinking, Gentle didn't want him at the club, didn't rate him and know's how much of a wet blanket he is.

Good riddance.

He lives near me, it's definitely the weather. There are a lot of Ozzies who wont even come here because of it.

It's a good job that there aren't many Australian explorers, nah sod it Bruce this North pole is too fecking cold, lets go home...talk about whinging

It p!sses down more there than here doesn't it ..April aside...

Why are we still talking about him? He's gone, time to move on

Didnt McKinnon live in Auckland for 3 years???

Hardly the Caribbean.

still better than hull

Utter rubbish.

As somebody who thought it would suit me to live in the Middle East for work for a while, when I actually tried it I hated being away from family and the UK, and came home early. It was NOT a reflection on the people or the place I live in, they were fine, it was just something I discovered about me. The only way to truly know if something is going to work for you is to get out and do it. Wade did that, this decision has probably taken him as much by surprise as anybody.

I wish him the very best in the future and hope he enjoys life back at home.

read the posts!
he lived in Aukland for a while, that is wetter than Borneo and colder too
its all about the backbone in the man... he ran to better wages clear as day..
hes gone, in three months he will be forgotten forever he was that memorable.
this was no Gary kemble here were talking about but in fact a damaged injury prone 30 plus journeyman bought by the last regime and paid a fekkun big wage to boot.
Glad hes gone let the whiner go home to mamas shirt tails and we move on and find PGs choice who will take us forwards .
He let us all down club and fans alike
end of story

The length of flight is irrelevant, its the wake up kiss from the kids, the footie in the back garden, the sunday dinner, the day at the beach... those are the things your likely to miss not the length of flight involved.
WWW/ skype/msn the phone etc is your friend if you feel homesick and thats all there is to it....
leaving half way through the season is disrespectful and spineless
hes gone like the last visit to the bog and about as memorable.....
