| Quote: kathy kirk "I have kept quite on this one so far but I agree with you. If you sign a 3 year contract and it means living in another country then go with it. I am told that he did not like the weather - well by the way Wade nor do we. I have a sister who has lived in Perth for the last 22 years and at times the heat is awful but you go with it. As a sportsman you sign a contract for how ever long it is and your family go with you - My Husband also worked away like you did and Armed Forces leave their families but this guy had an opportunity to see a different culture with his family ( I could be talking about Tevez) another looser.
I am told (listen at me) that he thought he was in a sh----ole - now did he mean Hull or England in general do we care in a few years/months in a quiz no-one will remember his name.'"
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 |

Would you agree its a bbit of a difference between 3 1/2 hour flight and a 24 hour flight?
weather can be an issue put surely you can see being on the other side of the world to his family is a pretty big issue?

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..... |

Leaving at the end of the season would have been more honourable.
McKinnon has shown a complete disrespect to all associated with Hull FC.'"
On another thread it states that he offered to see the season out but the club felt it better to cut ties sooner than later. |

He did, but Gentles put things in place to allow him to go as he didnt think his mind would be in the right place |

Deary deary me.
Firstly... I don't think "Rugby Player moves to earn more money!", is going to be a very shocking headline for anybody.
Secondly, "He lived in Aukland for a while" has diddly squat to do with a current situation - given it happened a different time in his life. I lived in Spain for over a year and loved every minute of it - I wouldn't do it now.

Helloo (said in a Leslie Phillps way) Welcome to the discussion - I've had 2 sleeps since I posted my utter Rubbish. Stick by my Opinion but crack on with your life story. I moved from Hull to /Beverley when I was young and missed me mam but I stuck it out. |
