Quote: barham red "Don't know the full ins and outs with him and Wigan but he looks to have hampered what could have been a great international career. He's let his progression stagnate for a couple of years when he should have kicked on and made a real mark. Players don't leave wigan, they're let go. If homesickness is the reason then he needs to give his head a bang and grow a pair. Short career and you really need to make the most of it and this move shouts big fish small pond syndrome.'"
Tbf, people want different things from life. And he's won one more Championship and Challenge Cup double than Rovers and Hull combined.
If it was a very good player and Rovers fan leaving Leeds or Wigan to come to Rovers, I'd be delighted at one of ours coming home to play for his club. Win a trophy for Wigan... Well that's your job. Win a trophy for a KuH club and you're pretty much a local ledgend.
Despite the silverware, he's not quite kicked on to deliver on some of the more optimistic predictions made in this thread three years ago. But he's still got time on his side and is a potentially excellent signing for Hull. Would have stung 3 years ago, but having known for that long...
