Such an odd sequence of events. Played with a dodgy pair of centres all year while an international we had on contract was on loan boosting a rival.

Let's just hope his head is back in it because the talent is clear to see.

Fell out with the ex coach and thus Powell didn’t want him. Now coach has gone he’s back and fresh start.

Last year of his contract. Doubt we will offer him another one and his agent has probably already got him somewhere lined up for 2025. Can't see him pulling up many trees next season.

He is with us until the end of 2025. 2 more seasons.

Jeez, I didn't realise. Least the new marquee rule will save us a bit of cap space on his monstrous wage!!

Probably return a non-hungry GF winner as well.

I think a year at Wigan will have done him good, no Powell anymore and he's been used to higher standards. I'm looking forward to having him back and think Burgess will be happy to have him as well.

Has he actually been that great for Wigan? He's gone just okay from what I've seen, but nowhere near as effective as he was before his LeBron James -esque pay day.

I really hope Burgess can get the best out of him.

An example in the wild of the Schrödinger's Wire recruit. Like for coaches, if they have never won anything they are an unproven gamble, but if they have won something their hunger has gone.
