Meh. He's looked good in pre season but was really inconsistent last year. We'll need a replacement thats for sure but if he wants out then I wouldn't want to keep an unhappy player.

On Fev it's interesting that England has gone there. John Davidson reported earlier this week that some of their players have been paid late again and the RFL are aware.

Don't think they're paid late for the current payroll, think it's more some players who were on big contracts last season are chasing owed money. Would have thought that sort of stuff would have been a trigger for being in special measures and not being able to sign new players.
Don't think England gets in our strongest 17 and if Pepsohi does sign, it addresses the lack of depth for that position, which we need for a long season. We need to bring another player in either at Hooker or prop IMO as we are looking light in some areas.
Fev have picked themselves up a good player though.

On his day England was really good but for me he was inconsistent and never hit great heights over a run of games. I expect he'll become the next Adrian Morley now he's left!

Local lad isn't he? they've signed a good player IMO but I assume we've got a replacement lined up if it's now been announced.

Well, I hope it's the right move for him and it doesn't end up like another Pickersgill.
Maybe hope is too strong a word: If he wanted out it's pointless keeping him, so as long as his leaving isn't going affect the squad and training I don't rightly care...
Never trust a man who, when left alone in a room with a tea cosy, doesn't try it on.

Agreed, and interesting that you mention Pickersgill whose career seemed to stall at Fev and Fax and is now going backwards. Can't help but wonder if he'd still be a better option than McGowan on loan.
