What chances are you speaking of? When has he ever been given a prolonged run at 6?
I get the feeling the lad has been set up for a fail here. He's not a FB in a million years and everyone apart from Wane can see that.
He's the exact kind of attacking threat that we need in the halves as well.
This.
I will be extremely peeved off if it is true.
He hasn't been given a real chance at anytime in his preferred position.
If true this has all the potential of a repeat of Sean Long ending up at the Saints in terms of biting us up the arris.
Never mind we can look forward to converting a forward to centre or recruiting another "impact" player who can breeze through his ten minute spells of huffing and puffing and doing jackshit. Ideally though I "hope" we replace him with another "versatile" player who excels at nowt and has never really held down a first team spot anywhere but can become our next project along with the influx of Welsh and London lads that are always in the "pipeline". No on second thoughts ideally I want a rough tough South sea islander who can run through a brick wall, have long hair so he looks real mean, can't pass a ball to save his life then buggers off after a year probably mid season because his grandad broke o toenail whilst out on the lash with his "tribe".Yeah much better than spending 6 or 7 years developing one of our own.
Sir I am Saddened and I claim myfive pounds!
I hope the rumour is incorrect but no noise is bad noise in that there has been zero comment from the club in months re extending his current contract. Hopefully IL wil pull his finger out and gamble just for once on genuine potential rather than speculative potential or pure tripe sorry hype.
