maybe he's sorting out his post-rugby career early

i think he probably is - and to a certain extent you cannot blame him. Personally, I think he should spend a bit less time on the media stuff and more time trying to improve his playing career. He definately needs to up his game this year.

as a wigan fan id suggest the rest of the saints squad follow gis lead. the more off field distractions the better.
any chance of long and gidley doing a duet on newsround?

He was also a bit cheesed off because the Leeds players 'whooped' as they tackled the Saints players.

It's so unfair.

Its Jon Wilkin.....he has to take anything he can get!


I mean look at what happened to him when he actually had to face quality opposition at the World Cup. Has anyone ever been more anonymous on a football field in history?
