Did anyone catch the snippet from his Sky Sports interview? He says it got to the point where he wasn't that bothered whether Leeds won or lost when he was playing for them. Does he not understand how many kids missed out on his spot, or how much tens of thousands of people would give to play one game for Leeds? He was in my England 17 until five minutes ago when I heard him say that. Thoughts?

Explains why Leeds were happy to get him out of the club ASAP.
As with most people, significant difficulties in somebody's personal life can impact on their professional life. Just because he is a professional rugby player, it doesn't mean that is his whole life.
Cas seem to be the team of lost boys this season - both Hardaker and Chase have said they struggled with mental health last year. Gonna give them a chance to see what they can do.
if he's playing with commitment on the field of play that's all you can ask, if he isn't then it's down to line manager (in this case the coach) to notice if there are problems and find out the root cause if it is affecting performance. But yes, no-one at work ever said they hated their job and couldn't be arsed, hated the company and didn't give a fig if it went to the wall, wouldn't mickey on their boss/colleague if they were on fire and so on and yet still turned up on time, still did a shift (maybe not as good as they could but still did it relatively effectively) and didn't abuse their workmates or employer despite their feelings about same. he's a human being the same as everyone else, he just happened to be an elite athlete, he like everyone else are not impervious to a negative state of mind and it affect how they act and what they say.
Good luck to him. Hope he can get back to his best and sorts his demons out. The kid achieved too much too young for me while at Leeds which gave him an attitude that he'd made it! He became cocky and complacent. If Cas can keep him out of the boozer they have a diamond, if not then it's a crying shame.

He stated his heart wasnt in it at Leeds and wasnt bothered if they won or lost anymore. Thats why he went to McDermott and asked to leave. He did the right thing in that aspect so im not sure why the OP is getting on his back???
He could of stayed and carried earning a wage not being a4sed.
