RL could only consider him after he's served his 2 years.
I hope he cures himself from his problem and gets his life together.
As for his suitability to League, he's simply not mobile enough. There'd be no such thing as a quick ptb when he got tackled.


I sit there screaming play the ball every week, i honestly believe this is a thing that would improve us 10 fold if we could get opposition defenses on the back foot but it doesnt happen. Even when Feka does a steaming run because hes got 4 on him it takes far too many seconds to play the ball.

Quote:However, Damian Hopley, the chief executive of the Professional Rugby Players’ Assocation (PRA), said that his organisation would offer the player its backing. “We will continue to do everything we can to provide Matt with the support he needs,” Hopley said. “I have no doubt that he will conquer his illness in due course and make a successful return to the game.”


I hope I never get an illness like that :(

Peronally, I don't care about a player's off field activities, as long as he's not hurting anyone, and producing the goods for the club. No one's really complained about Tim Smith, for instance (other than the fact he's - erm, taking time to settle in).

The reason I don't want Matt Stevens at Wigan is because he's rubbish.

AT least when he loses the ball in the tackle, he can pretend he's forgotten which code he's playing.
