Thanks for your kind words. No wonder people don't like Wire.

I'm sure that there are plenty of other, better reasons why folk dislike Wire, but agree that there really was no need to have a pop at Hull, as there's good and bad in most northern towns/cities and that goes for Warrngton.

It was meant as a light hearted quip, as I'm fully aware that most Northern towns are sh!tholes - there's a reason we tend to keep our overseas players from certain areas of the town...
The point was that Hiku has previously struggled to settle in England, so it will be interesting to see if he sees out a full 3 years on Humberside.

I'm sure it'll be a lot easier to settle when you're earning marquee money.

Hiku wasn`t homesick, it was his girlfriend who was supposed to follow him to the UK, then couldn`t face the move when it came to the crunch and begged him to return Down Under.
Not sure if they are still together or not?
If they are and she still has a problem with moving to England, then it`s Hull KR`s problem now.

Without dragging it out I'm generally fine with light hearted quips but messages on t'internet even with a laughing emoji can be difficult tor read
