The 'Les' we got didn't receive a two year ban for gouging whilst playing for us. He was still a player that dished it out in in the Primrose and Blue BUT he did channel his efforts MORE into the great rugby player he really was.
So is he any good? Most reactions on the socials seem yo be the laugh reactions. Though that's not unusual for stories concerning us.
Used to be amazing but hasn't been good for a few years now, not excited by this at all to be honest. But i will support him and give him the chance to prove my doubts wrong. Welcome to the Wire.

This is the key thing. Same with Morley, who had a terrible disciplinary record at Leeds and got banned a lot at the Roosters as well, but when he came to us he cleaned it all up. It's one thing having a past if you clean your act up when you get a shot with the biggest club in the world.
You watch, he'll come over, play a blinder for 3 or 4 games then lay out the opposing teams mascot "for a laugh", get a 7 or 8 game ban, go touring round Europe with his family then disappear quietly back to Oz with a load of Wire cash in his pocket......"thank you for the opportunity, sorry it didn't work out, wife/kids/pet koala bear homesick, wish the lads all the best to the future, Karl couldn't have been nicer to us, etc" ......

As long as those 3 or 4 games he plays a blinder are the semis and grand final in 2023, I won't mind if he gets banned and buggers off.
