I know many in Rugby League disliked him but I always enjoyed reading his column. He told it how he saw it and I have no issue with that. He was always a good player to watch throughout his career.

I did have the pleasure of being on the tour with him at the World Cup in 2017 it was a blast. I wish him well with his health and hope he can still enjoy the sport.

Who was it that he had a spat with in his column and they responded with comments about his weight?

"One reason I'm not too sad to be finishing this column is the sport just doesn’t excite me anymore. The on-field product isn’t anywhere near as entertaining as it should be."

He's right. Good luck to him.

It’s why he was called controversial, he knew the sport on the field was/his becoming garbage to watch but got called out for saying so. Wonder who in the press will pick that baton up.

Whilst I wish him well and agree that he was a star turn on the pitch and share some of his concerns about RL as a 'product' there is an inherent problem with being controversial.

Too much of it and you lose the impact of your messaging...."oh it's only so and so sounding off again" and this is before the subversive agents of cancel culture step in.

Fair comment but at what point do you stop speaking your mind and why is it classed as controversial. 2 guys in the pub speaking about sport are not controversial because nobody knows them.

I have never understood why a coach or an ex-player or anyone in the media can not say how they feel without it being classed as controversial. Expect someone will educate me.

Don't expect any one on the Sky / BBC set up to raise their head above the parapet. It's all "amazing" remember.

We will have to rely on falling TV viewers, TV deals, and live attendances.
